  • Notes 
    • Joseph Ruth

      On New Year's Day one of the oldest native born citizens of this district, passed away, in the person of Joseph Ruth, a well-known and highly respected farmer. Deceased was born on the Ruth homestead about 1-1/2 miles north of Elmira, 70 years ago. With the exception of 6 years during which he lived in Elmira, he spent his life on the farm on which he was born. He was known as an honorable and conscientious man of a kindly and genial disposition. He was industrious, frugal and helpful to his neighbors. Besides conducting his farm he was a carpenter and contractor.

      Thirty nine years ago he was married to Rosale Schill. With her he raised eight children, six of whom, together with their mother, survive him. The children are: Agnes and Christina, at home; Rosale, in Wisconsin; Edward, in the Canadian Army in England, and Joseph and Lorenz at home. Deceased was a consistent and native member of the Roman Catholic Congregation. His funeral will take place on Saturday next. Services will be held at 10 o'clock a.m. at his late residence, then at St. Theresa R.C. church, Elmira, after which interment will take place at the R. C. Cemetery north of Elmira.
