Note from Sandy: his daughter Mrs. Walter "Dutch" Ruether is Gertrude "Gertie" Magnolia Palmer (1893-1960). She was first married to Frank Erroll Derby on May 15, 1912 and then married the famous baseball player, Walter "Dutch" Ruether on December 10, 1921. Gertrude Palmer was born in Dahlgren, Hamilton County, IL on July 10, 1893. I helped Gertrude's granddaughter, Bettie Jane, with untangling her complicated ancestry.
