in Ralls County, Mo., Feb. 19, 1841; she has been a teacher in the public
schools; was living with her mother in 1873, unmarried. In a communi-
cation forwarded to me in 1873, Miss Riddle says: "I am the only one in
our family inclined to a profession. I have taught for many years; have
found much pleasure in my avocation, but like all earthly things find it an
empty bubble. I am stopping at home with my mother now, and have a
very good opportunity to study botany, geology, etc., besides the delight-
ful pleasure of green fields to rest my eyes upon. I love every voice of
nature, even to the chirp of the little cricket that my mother searches for
with so much energy to demolish from her carpets and woolens." Her
composition is elegant.
