I have sent off to the vital records in Raleigh with no luck (they said no death records before 1913 and a fire took out most of the other records)
Harrette remarried thomas pierce in the 1910 census merryhill township with 5 kids still with her (james,elise,nettie,DAVID.and charles)no kids with thomas .

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Ruth RANSOM of Harford, Pennsylvania
which was taken at the Bailey & McCausland Studio in Mansfield, PA. The
photograph is dated "Class of 1896" with Ruth likely in her teens at the
time the photograph was taken. Based on limited research I was able to
gather the following information:
Ruth RANSOM b. about 1872 in Susquehanna Co. PA to parents Calvin RANSOM or
RANSON and Mary A. COBB.
Census records provide the following information:
1880 census of Clifford, PA:
Calvin D. RANSOM, age 31, born PA, a Farmer, parents born CT/PA
Mary A. RANSOM, wife, age 29, born PA, Keeping House, parents born NY
Ruth RANSOM, dau, age 1, born PA
Eddie CHANDLER, son, age 11, born PA, at Home, parents born PA
+ 1 farm laborer
1900 census of South Abington Township, PA:
Calvin RANSOM, age 52, born Jul 1847, married 31 years, born PA, parents
born CT/PA, a Farmer
Mary A. RANSOM, wife, age 49, born Aug 1850, married 31 years, 3 children/2
living, born PA, parents born CT/PA
Ruth B. RANSOM, dau, age 21, born Aug 1878, born PA, a School Teacher
Mytie M. RANSOM, dau, age 18, born Jan 1882, born PA
1910 census of South Abington Township, PA:
Calvin D. RANSON, age 62, married 41 years, born PA, parents born CT/PA, a
Farmer
Mary A. RANSON, wife, age 59, married 41 years, 3 children/2 living, born
PA, parents born USA/PA
Ruth B. RANSON, dau, age 31, born PA, a Millinier
Myrtle RANSON, dau, age 28, born PA, a Bookkeeper at Coal Office
I am hoping to locate someone from Ruth's family so that this beautiful old
photograph can be returned to the care of her family. If you are a member
of this RANSOM Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me.
Thanks,
Shelley
