"Ruth" is listed on the 1920 Census with her family living on High St. Her family included her father Wilmot 52, now a naturalized citizen and teamster on a delivery team. Mother Emma 39, laundress at home. She and her sisters were all born Eastport, Maine. Her sisters were Jennie age 15, Helen 10, and Catherine 8. Her widowed maternal grandmother, Jane Greenlaw, 79 b. in Maine, is also listed.
Sadly, the young student died at age 13 of influenza after suffering for a week. It may have been Spanish Flu, based on the date. The Death Record also lists her parents Wilmot E Camick, teamster and Emma Greenlaw living at 34 High St. It claims her parents were born in Eastport, though her father was born in New Brunswick, Canada.
I am placing her Memorial in Hillside, as many of her family are buried there.
