The Rideouts first arrived in Hudson, Ohio, in 1879 when Civil War veteran Samuel Eugene Rideout (1841-1928) moved with his three children from Dorset, Vermont, after the death of his wife, Sarah Baldwin Rideout. In Hudson, Samuel set up a feed and implement business. He later married Mary Lane (1844-1918) of Twinsburg, Ohio. The Rideouts were longtime residents of 55 Oviatt in Hudson.
Samuel had three children with Sarah Baldwin: Adelaide Augusta (1867-1895), Bertha Mary (1872-1896), and Eugene Glasier (1869-1962) and two children with Mary Lane: Henry (1884-1960) and Carroll (1881-1958). Adelaide and Bertha were teachers at the Santee Normal Training School, an institute dedicated to training teachers to be missionaries on the Sioux Reservation in South Dakota (for more information on Adelaide's life, see "Hudsonites to Indian Territory" on the Hudson Library & Historical Library website). Eugene Glasier was a printer, who owned his own print shop in Chicago for fourteen years. He also worked on various newspapers in Charleston and Bluefield, West Virginia, and Ravenna, Ohio. Eugene Glasier married Stella Burdick (1883-1956), who was a descendant of the Treffry family, and together they had six children. Eugene returned to Hudson in 1916 and lived there until his death in 1962.
