Provenance: This collection was donated to OGS in 2006 by Cynthia Turk upon the death of Ruth Elizabeth Ketteringham who

died at the age of 99. Ruth had inherited a great collection of family photographs and documents from her father, George Henry

Ketteringham. Since Ruth and her twin sister Rose who died in 1940 did not ever marry, Ruth had no children or nieces/nephews.

Ruth was the youngest off all the first cousins, so she outlived all of them as well. The children, grandchildren, and great-

grandchildren of Ruth’s first cousins were her only family.
