She pointed me to the website with the cemetery stones (www.findagrave.com) and the obits in the Ironwood paper (www.ancestry.com). Now who woulda thunk to look in Michigan? From that point on, it just got easier. Family lore said Ruth Ellen had been farmed out to the Bryant family because her Spencer family couldn't keep her. It was also suspected she was Native American. Both those stories have now been disproven. I am glad that Ruthie now has parents and a family!
