L. Ruggles, 142 Monroe Street, Chicago, Illinois. August's parents were Fernando C. and Leanna (Kinkle) Ruggles who lived first in Placerville, El Dorado County, in 1849 and about a year later in Woodland, Yolo County, after migrating from Michigan with other family members. States and towns that our Ruggles families lived in include the following: Luzerne County, Pennsylvania; Illinois; Milan, Ohio; Norwalk, Ohio; Berrien County and Van Buren County, Michigan; and Placer County and Yolo County, California et al. (The book contains the photographs of Eli Fayette Ruggles and his wife Viola. If you would like me to send you a jpeg scan or photocopy of their photographs, let me know.)
