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 John Jerome Jr. 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, 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. IreneReider eventually remarried and their stepfather, Riley Price, treated the children as his own.
