Description
Ruth Ross, a widow, writes to Finley concerning her family. Her 15 year old son Thomas, a studious boy, has recently died. She is grateful that Thomas found God prior to his death, and certain that he will experience the joys of eternal life. Three children are left, two daughters and one son. The oldest daughter (Anna?) was married to A. (Asa?) Woodmansee in 1828. Ruth tells Finley about the emotional conversion experiences of Anna, Mary, and Anna's husband. She is filled with rejoicing that God has acted in their lives. [See 1850 Census Ann Woodmanser/Ruth Jones, & Ohio, County Marriage Records, 1774-1993, wedding of Asa Woodmansee & Ann Ross].
