County Republican & Press (Neillsville, Wis.) 01/13/1921 Ruddock, Lyman D.
(6 Jan 1854 - 7 Jan 1921) This community was
greatly shocked last Friday to learn that Lyman D. Ruddock had died
very suddenly that morning, the cause of his death being heart
disease. Mr. Ruddock was born in Pitcher, Chenango Co., N.Y., Jan.
6, 1854, being the son of Levi D. and Cynthia Minor Ruddock. When
11 years of age, he came west with the family to Berlin, Wis. There
he grew to manhood and was married to Louise M. Chase. Thirty-eight
years ago they came to Neillsville, Clark County, Wis., which was
his home until his death. At an early age he learned the blacksmith
trade, which he followed for 50 years. He was an expert in many
lines of work, especially horse-shoeing. He took great pride in
doing good work, and in feeling that no job was slighted. He had a
quaint, dry humor in his talk and always stood for thing that were
square and right. No man in Neillsville ever earned a more honest
living than did Lyman D. Ruddock. He was a kind husband and father
and in every respect a good citizen. He is survived by
his wife, one son, Frank, who was with him in the shop work, and
one daughter, Maude, at home. He leaves also five sisters: Mrs.
Alice Hebbard of New York; Mrs. Francis Haywood of California; Mrs.
Kathryn Sniteman, Neillsville; Miss Jennie Minor, New York; Mrs.
Nellie Taylor, California. The funeral was held at the home Sunday
afternoon, Rev. G.W. Longenecker officiating.
