David and Margaret (Wiles) Ridenour's farm in Jefferson County, Ohio, near the
Pennsylvania line, north of Wheeling, West Virginia. This is also the church he founded.

The Ridenours donated land for the Good Hope Lutheran Church. This is not the original
building but it is the original location. The church may have changed its name to Osage
Lutheran Church because this is the Osage Cemetery. Layel Ridenour's wife Nan, is
talking to John Ridenour (I am assuming John Ridenour of Stone Creek, Ohio).

Layel Ridenour standing at David and Margaret's graves - his 3rd
great grandparents and my 4th great grandparents. David's
gravestone reads "RIDENOUR" while Margaret's reads
"Wife of RIDENHOWER". She died seven years before David.

David Ridenour Sr. (11/20/1775 Hagerstown, Maryland - 8/14/1854 Knox Township, Jefferson County, Ohio)

Margaret Wiles, wife of D Ridenhower [David Ridenour Sr] (1774 - 2/4/1847)
