    I am Ruth's first cousin since my father (Charles Maxwell) was a brother of Ruth's father (Norris Maxwell). I send you deepest sympathy for your loss of Ruth and would like any of the relatives to contact me if you are ever in Canton. Also through the internet. God bless Ruth and each one of you in her family. Very Sincerely, Carol

    I send my deepest sympathy to the family of Ruth. It's been many years since I saw her at our family reunion. Her father, Norris Maxwell was a brother to my grandmather, Eva Maxwell. Even though I was very young, I can remember visiting Uncle Norris' place in Richmond. May God bring you comfort during this time. I would love to hear from you sometime.
