her name is Ruth Thurston Smothers born Aug 29 1896 Effington ILL
she had 5 siblings. Thurston was her dad's mother's maiden name.
She was proud of the name as she had traced it to Miles Standish and there is
quite a story written about this in her Journal. Ruth was Isaac and Mattie's
only daughter.

she died 1991 not 1950 [I did order photo of her gravestone to confirm
I know this is correct as its my cousin's grandmother and in the book he's
written of the Henry Smothers and Elizabeth Birdsill family
also confirms this. It was Ruth's mother Mattie Peters who kept a Journal of the
family called My Book of Memories my cousin has.
We are related per dna thru brother's of a Wm Smither died 1760 Pa.
