Raish - Ruthella Kesley
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal, 15 December 1893
Mrs. John L. Williams is in receipt of a telegram announcing the death of he sister, Ruthella C. Raish, of Montrose, Colorado, on December 7. Mrs. Raish was the youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. I. M. Kelsey. She was the mother of three children, the youngest only about three weeks old. This was a very sad stroke for Mr. and Mrs. Williams as their sister had been with them so much in her childhood. When she left here she was just entering into womanhood, was a very sweet girl, and loved by all who knew her. In her home she was a kind wife and a loving mother. The telegram also stated that I. M. Kelsey was badly hurt while taking the telegram to the office, but particulars could not be learned. - thanks to Kim H
