I have that Ruth Calderwood married Charles Reeder. Ruth was born on 27 Dec 1897 and her mother, Sarah Ritchie Brownlie Calderwood, died about 5 Feb 1898. That must have been tragic. Sarah's mother, Elizabeth Thomson Brownlie, was murdered in 1874 when Sarah was barely 11 years old. Her 4 year old brother, Andrew Brownlie was also murdered. Are you a direct descendant of Ruth? Our family association has located alot of her family and has quite a history.
