Ruth's headstone at Cranberry Creek Cemetery is becoming unreadable.

From Deb Bromley

The cemetery where much of this family was buried, named Cranberry Creek, and later changed to Old Bluff, most likely got its name because of having cranberries actually growing in the area. The entire northern part of Ohio from Cleveland westward was a great marsh/swamp for a very long time and had many cranberry bogs throughout it. The Indians called it the Great Black Swamp, and after it was surveyed, most of it was eventually drained.
