• Notes

  St. Catherine of Alexandria Cathedral Baptismal Record: Rosanna Rider, female, born in St. Catharines on 14 Aug 1873. Date of baptism: 25 Aug 1873. Father: Michael Rider, born in Ireland. Mother: Mary Martin, born in Ireland. Sponsors: Jas(?) Rider and Cat Piercy(?) ======================================== never married The youngest of 5 children, her father died when she was 3. Her mother died when she was 11. After her mother's death, she lived with the Philbin family in Kenosha, Wisconsin, perhaps for several years. By 1890, when she was 16, her name appears in the St. Paul City Directory with other family members. 1889-91 St. Paul City Directory Rose L. Ryder and Anna T. Ryder, 324 W Third, domestics. John Ryder, rooming at 250 W Third, proofreader. St. Paul Daily Globe, 17 Jun 1890 On the banks of Lake Gervais, a beautiful summer resort, a number of St. Paul people are residing during the warm season. Among them is Maj. Kelleher, whose family includes an eleven-year-old girl named Shirley, a diminutive child, but possessing the spirit of which heroines are made. While Shirley and some companions, accompanied by the major's servant, Rose Ryder, were wading in the lake Sunday the latter got below her depth and sank below the surface. the little girls were naturally greatly excited, but Shirley, displaying rare presence of mind and great strength for one so young, took hold of a boat that was lying on the beach, shoved it down into the water up to her waist, then gave it a quick push and jumped in. Fortunately, the boat passed close to Miss Ryder just as she rose the third time, and little Shirley quickly grasped her. It seems almost incredible that one so young could drag a big girl of fourteen years from the water into the boat, yet Shirley Kellher, the youthful heroine of Lake Gervais, accomplished the feat. The deed was quickly planned and nobly executed. Rescuer and rescued were heartily welcomed to the shore and there is probably not a father in the city prouder of his little daughter than Maj. Kelleher is of Shirley. 1895 Minnesota state census, St. Paul Rose Ryder, 30 years old, born in Canada, occupation nurse. Rose is living in a household headed by a 48 year old banker.
