Facts and Events
Marion Watt has: RUTH R. MCLAIN, b. January 25, 1876, Northwest Twp., Williams Co., Ohio RECORD OF BIRTHS, PROBATE COURT, BRYAN, WILLIAMS CO. OHIO. Book 2, page 8, entry 29. also in Book 1, page 103, entry 25. "Ruth R. McLain, b. 25 Jan Jan 1876, Northwest Township, Williams Co., Ohio. Parents: Wm. H. McLain and Clara Graves" In other instances in the same area, the parents listed on birth records are not the correct couples (Marriages). The clerk admitted that it seemed to possibly be incorrectly recorded records. In some cases it appears whoever reported the birth was put on as the mother. I think that probably the parent in this case is Esther Conklin McLain, Wm. H. McLain's wife. Obituary taken from the Bryan Democrat, Sept. 19, 1946, p. 3 RUTH IRENE ZEITER Ruth Irene McLain Reed Zeiter was born in Williams County, Ohio, (can't read a line) after an illness of several years at her home in Edon, Ohio, Sept. 13, 1946, at the age of 70 years, one month and 18 days. In early life she was baptized in the First Baptist Church, Clear Lake, Ind. The most of her life was spent in and around this community. She was always ready and willing to help others before thinking of herself. A member of the (can't read) Ladies Aid Society and also of the Spring Lake (can't read) she spent many happy hours serving with these organizations. She leaves to mourn their loss, her husband, Robert Zeiter, of Edon; two daughters and one step-daughter by her first marriage, Mrs. Mabel Burlew of New Haven, Ind.; Mrs. Gertrude Glanzman of Toledo, Ohio, and Mrs. Jessie Rice of Toledo, Ohio; two step-sons and one step daughter (can't read) Zeiter of Camden, Michigan, Cloyce Zeiter of Toledo, Ohio, Mrs. (can't read) Swanson of Toledo, Ohio; nine grandchildren, eight great-grandchildren; two brothers, William McLain of Portland, Oregon, and Fred McLain of Grand Blanc, Mich.; and many other relatives and a host of friends.
