William Crider (AKA Philip) born about 1786 or later, died May 15, 1880, buried Crider Cemetery.

At his death he is listed as Philip on the 1880 mortality schedule and obituaries, but according to the story below, William died in 1880, so possibly he went by both names? In all the census he's listed as William and his cemetery monument erected by son Philip.

According to several, this story may have some flaws, one is that the Wm. Sr and Nancy Walker were parents of Philip, when it was Wm Jr and Nancy Burns. The two William's were mixed up, it is said.

PHILIP B. CRIDER. The lumbering interests of central Pennsylvania is one of the great industries which have been an important factor in the development of that section, and one of the chief sources of its great wealth. For nearly fifty years few men have played a more conspicuous part in this development than the venerable gentleman of Bellefonte, Centre county, whose name introduces this sketch, and who, though nearing his four-score years, is yet "in harness," hale and hearty, bidding fair for an unusually vigorous old age.
For probably more than one hundred and fifty years the Crider family have resided in this Commonwealth. Upward of one hundred years ago, the ancestors of our subject came from from Lancaster county, and located on Chatham run, some five miles below the present borough of Lock Haven, then in Northumberland county, where William Crider (1) and William Crider (2), the grandfather and father respectively of Philip B, figured as wood-workers and millwrights, and where now reside a number of their descendants William Crider (2) was married to Mary Walker, and among their children were: Gabrial, Elizabeth, William. Catherine. Philip B. (our subject), Mary Ann, Susan, Jacob, Washington, Joseph, Emily, Ruth and Enoch. William, the father of these children, and his wife were plain everyday people, industrious, good citizens, and kind neighbors whose remains now rest, as do those of some of the older generation, in the old Plum Creek graveyard in the Crider neighborhood above located. WILLIAM DIED MAY 15, 1880, at the home of his son, Philip B., at Snow Shoe, Penn., aged ninety-four years, and his wife died at the old homestead in Gallagher township, Clinton Co., Pennsylvania.
