Dr. Sidney S. Runyon

[Ira A. Runyan]

The obit below has been circulating around since the weekend. I received it by E-mail from Norman Runyon.

Does anyone have this Dr. Sidney S. Runyon documented in their line? Note that he was born in Ashland, KY, July 7, 1924. But had practiced medicine in Lancaster, PA for 30 years.

Received the following information from Ann Runyon this date:

I found your message when doing a "Google search" and wanted to respond.
Sidney's father's name was Sidney Sanford Runyon (Sr) and his Mother was Mary Martha Apple Runyon. His father was born in Catlettsburg, KY, I believe and he was in the construction business, building bridges in Ashland, Ky and other commercial buildings including the high school stadium. Sidney and Mary Martha had two children..Mary Jean Runyon (McCaskey) and Sidney. (both deceased). I was married to Sid for 27 years and we had two children. Scott Sanford Runyon (now living in Sarasota, Florida) and Carol Annette Runyon Cofer, resides in Hartwell, Ga. Sid's first marriage was to Eleanor Hopkins Runyon, of Ashland, they had one child, David Hopkins Runyon. He is married to June Runyon and they have 2 children, Mark and Ashley. Scott Runyon can be reached by e-mail at E-mail OMITTED; and he can direct should you wish to contact others.
Mary Martha Runyon had a great interest in the genealogy of the Apple and Runyon families. She was a "Daughter of The American Revolution" and was City Tax Assessor in Ashland, Ky, for many years. It was an elected office and she was embraced by the people of Ashland for her intellect and hard work. Sidney (her husband) died at a rather early age when their children were in their early "teens". Due to my years of marriage to Sidney, and the children we had together, I had many experiences with the Runyon family of which I have fond memories. I hope that this information is helpful to you.
