Ruth was my dear grandmother, and I called her Mama Ma from as far back as I can remember. She was married to Everett Crook Reynolds until his death in 1978. She had a big smile, loved cooking, gardening and having her family around her. She was a member of the First Baptist Church in Fort Worth, Texas for many years. I miss her a lot.
At the time of her birth, the town of Martha was a part of Greer County, but it is now Jackson County. Her parents were Hugh Benjamin McWatters b. 1884 Baird, Callahan Co., Texas and Martha Alice Bonham McWatters born 1889 Grayson Co., Virginia.
