Ruth Thornton
Born, 1901 in Havana, IL. - Died in the flu epidemic of 1918 (Kobe) at 16 years |
Knowledge
of Aunt Ruth is limited, to say the least. The four generations photo
seems to show Ruth as a baby. It is probable that this image was
captured, 7 miles NE of Greenfield, IL, at the home of Edwin and Eliza
Henderson, her great grandparents?

This photo, a Phil Woerner find, depicts the family while in Japan,
date unknown. Aunt Ruth is not included which could indicate it is
beyond the year 1918?. Could it be a family photo taken prior to
S. Watson's return to the US for continued education at Blackburn?

Ruth died in the 1818 flu epidemic in Japan.
This photograph seems to show Aunt Helen and Aunt Elizabeth
(at one time I suggested one to be Aunt Ruth), brother Samuel
Watson, grandpa, and several others gathered at what appears to be the
retail outlet for the "school's" peanut butter factory in Japan.
Perhaps someone has more information on Ruth's life that can be included?
