ADDITIONAL INFORMATION;

   Mary E. (______) Ruth, 28 Jan 1835 - 16 Jan 1902, married H. Ruth. No 
information on husband.  Mary is buried at O-HUD Cemetery, Steuben County, 
Indiana.  The Cemetery book lists her death as 23 Jan 1902 which has to be 
in error as the obituary was printed on 22 Jan 1902 and gives a clear time 
line of her illness and death.

   Daughter, Elta Ruth, 28 Sep 1866 - 20 Jun 1889, 22 years, 8 months and 
22 days.  Buried at O-HUD Cemetery.
