Morgan Hill Times February 23, 1912
Death of Miss Ruth Ward

   Another young life was brought to an early close last Friday, February 1,
1907, when Miss Ruth Ward passed away, after a prolonged illness, ad her home in
Paradise Valley, near Morgan Hill, California.
   Miss Ward was the adopted daughter of Mrs and Mrs. J. P. Ward and had lived
in Morgan Hill eight years.  She was born in Minneapolis, April 5, 1884, and
was, therefore, 22 years 9 months and 26 days old at the time of her death.  She
competed the Eighth Grade work at the Machado School and them took up the study
of elocution.  In May, 1906, she graduated with honors the Department of
Elocution of the University of the Pacific and had intended to continue study at
the school of _____ in Boston but was compelled to relinquish her cherished
plans by gradually failing health.  After nearly a year's illness death came to
relieve the patient sufferer, who life held in it so much of promise of the future.
   Miss Ward was a member of the Methodist Episcopal Church of this place, and
Rev. Ernest Gregg pastor of the church, officiated at the funeral which took
place from the home of her parents in Paradise Valley, Sunday Afternoon.  The
funeral was attended by a large circle of sorrowing friends, who had gathered to
pay their last tribute of respect to the dear departed one.  The remains were
laid to rest in Mount Hope Cemetery.

Additional Comments:
Ruth Ward's adoptive parents were James P. Ward and Ora J. Hulet.  They are all
in the same plot in Mount Hope Cemetery and share the same tombstone.
