Christmases Past

My great grandparents, Albert and Paulina Riddlesbarger were married on December 25, 1893 in Andrew County, Missouri.

“Bert” and “Lina” were devout Brethren (of the evangelical Grace Brethren sort) and moved to Belleville, Kansas, soon after they were married. Later they moved on to Nampa, Idaho, with a number of Brethren families. They ended up in Garden Grove, California, in the late 1920s to be near my grandparents and their grandchildren (including my dad, Clayton).

Bert and Lina died in Christ and together await the resurrection. Written at the bottom of their headstone is “Till He Comes.” Indeed, he will!
