Hello, I realize that this is a long shot but here it goes. My Great Aunt--Ruth Tumpeer-nee Bates passed away last year and I am hoping that someone can tell me anything about her. Her last residence was at 24 Central Park West, New York, New York. I know she was married to a Joseph Tumpeer (1898-1991). To the best of my knowledge they did not have any children. They must of been married in the early 1930's. They had a home in Chicago and New York. Ruth was the daughter of George Walter Bates and Ellen Maude James and was born in Detroit, Michigan. Thanks in advance, Jackie ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
