Lydia Randel (b. 1/21/1825, d. 1/30/1890) had dwarfism and lived, unmarried, with her parents for their entire lives.

Lydia outlived her father and mother by 23 & 29 years, respectively, so she must have lived on her own for some portion of her life - or lived with other friends or relatives.

***This just in:  according to Dedee Dalebout (descendant of Sarah Marie Randel), Lydia lived with her sister Sarah in Ottumwa, IA until her death. I'd speculate she moved in with Sarah when her mother died?

Dedee also has a picture of Lydia and has promised to share! Hooray!

Lydia died in 1890 at the age of 65 and is buried with her parents in the Bellefountaine Cemetary in Tracy, IA.
