John Jerome Reider (Sr.) & Irene Elizabeth Carroll Family
This page is devoted to all of the documents and records collected for the John Jerome Reider Sr. family. John was born in Paterson, NJ but moved to California with his family in 1909 when his grandfather, Anton Buehler died. In 1921 he met a young lady of Irish descent named Irene Elizabeth Carroll and they were married. Two children followed with son John Jerome in 1923 and Mary Louise in 1925. By 1930 their relationship was a rocky one made worse by John's drinking. Irene filed for divorce in 1936 but there is no evidence she completed the process. Although not formally divorced (divorce was initiated but a search of divorces has not yet shown an actual final divorce), they separated and John rarely saw his children again. He died of alcoholism in 1938. John Jr and Mary spent a lot of their young lives with their maternal grandparents Thomas and Irene Carroll. Irene Reider eventually remarried and their stepfather, Riley Price, treated the children as his own.
