Narrative

On the 1900 census Reuben is listed as the son of Mary E. Ruff, widow of Wiley
Ellis Ruff, however on his death certificate the father is listed as Ellis Ruff
and the mother as Margaret Lawter. As the dates of birth and the census reports
line up with Mary Jackson Ruff being Reubens mother that is how I have it listed.
