    3. Hello The question was asked about Emily Burton. Her maiden name was Emily Ruegsegger. That name appears in genealogy with many spellings. In MONROE COUNTY OHIO, Genealogy Records by Catharine Fedorchak, I counted 14 different spellings used in various articles like census, deeds, wills, marriages, obits, etc. She was my grandmother. I remember her well. Welcome was a little settlement about where Kent is now. It once had a train station, Post Office, and a boat landing. She married Samuel Gatts Burton, had 8 children, as Peggy described. Samuel drove about the countryside and collected produce and crafts to sell at the store at Welcome, and to take to Wheeling to sell at his stall at the Wheeling Market. He would take the train and commute to the stall. When he had a large shipment, he would send it by boat. Emily and the kids keep the store and Post Office She taught school out on Burch Ridge before getting married. Married ladies were not permitted to teach, so when she married Sam, another teacher in Cameron, they had to take another job after the children began. Frank Burton
