reached her 78th milestone on the
way through life. She passed her
birthday anniversary quietly, but
happily, Sunday, December 7th at
the home of her nephew, Carl Auvil

How wonderful to have a memory
of life so well spent as hers, Many
people in middle life have happy
recollections. of her thoughtful
kindnesses bestowed on them from
her mother’s heart. While “Aunt”
Ruth has never borne any children,
she has nurtured many. When her
brother, Elmer's wife died leaving
thirteen children—most of them
very young—‘“Aunt” Ruth took
charge of the home. It is a monu-
ment to her unselfish sacrifice that
she has sent out into the world some
of the finest citizens Wyoming
County has produced—and not omly |
just that family has tender memor-
ies of her devotion, but all others
who have come within her influ-
ence. This influence has never
waned. She is the beloved “Aunt”
Ruth to all.
Editor's Note: Aunt Ruth, do
you remember that day you
caught me in your cherry tree?
Stewart Casterline’ never fails
to mention it when he sees me.
