The death of Mrs. Geo. Ruth on last Wednesday at 12:30 p.m., was one of those sad events for which we should be prepared and yet so seldom are. Mrs. Ruth had been a great sufferer and death came as a welcome release. She was loved and honored by all who knew her, and though gone will not be forgotten.
