Tombstone Tuesday: RISEDORF

Mrs
Risedorf¹

Dear Mr Risedorf,

Mr Orson Risedorf, I can only admire a man who elects to move at age fifty-seven to Canada to homestead. But Mr Risedorf, what is the name of your second wife who was a widow? The one who you tantalized with a story of theft and murder in the United States whilst you and your six children of your first wife, Evelyn Tritton, were in Canada awaiting the arrival of Mrs Risedorf II?²

Mr Risedorf, what is the name of your third wife who was the widow Mrs Twigg? Harold Cecil Twigge Sr., son of Mrs Risedorf III, why do you not mention your mother's name?³

Please, I would very much like to know the name of these women.

Sincerely Frustrated,
A Grave Undertaking
