In Response To: RITCHIE OBITS (Mary)

I have 3 of the five additional obits you requested and will get them posted tonight or tomorrow. I can find nothing on the two children, Marlin B. Jr. and Mary B. The following is from the records of Ottumwa Cemetery:

Charles Donald Ritchie, born 14 Nov 1883, died 14 Dec 1975
Florence Emma Ritchie, born 1 Jan 1896, died 6 Mar 1970
Mamie Francis Ritchie, born 22 Dec 1888, died 30 Apr 1984
Margaret Ellen Ritchie, born 22 Dec 1855, died 16 Feb 1939
Marlin B. Ritchie, born 5 Jan 1886, died 16 Nov 1968
Marlin B. Ritchie, born 1 Apr 1856, died 24 Feb 1934
Marlin R. Ritchie Jr., born 3 Jan 1915, died 7 Apr 1915
Mary Ritchie, born 24 Jan 1918, died 30 Jan 1918

There is no Della Ritchie listed in any of the cemeteries in Ottumwa. According to Polk's City Directories, Marlin (b. 1886) and Della are living in Ottumwa on Hayne St. during the period 1915-1919, At that time they disappear. He may have moved away for a short period of time where Della died and then he moved back after his wife's death.

From Wapello county marriage records:

Mary L.F. Ritchie married Charles S. Nupp on 24 Dec 1919
Margaret B. Ritchie married Ray Rupe on 8 May 1920
