Charles George Riter 1858-1935 IL>IA>CA
Hello,
I left a message on the Ritter forum over a year ago.Randal L. Smith left a message for me which I did not find until recently.I have not been able to contact him and would like to get in touch with him for information on the Rutter/Riter family.
Hello Randal,
Hello Randal,I am very sorry that I didn't get back to you before now but for some reason I missed going back to the Riter Genforum messages.I finally checked today and found your message.I was not able to e-mail you.
I am very sorry that I didn't get back to you before now but for some reason I missed going back to the Riter Genforum messages.I finally checked today and found your message.I was not able to e-mail you.I would love to have what information you have.I am very confused about the family.My source of information is my mother-in-law, Joella Wallace Cassell, granddaughter of Charles Riter, daughter of Leona Riter Wallace.Joella had thought that Emelie was a stepmother to Charles not his mother.So your information is very interesting.Joella is ill right now and is not up to answering questions.I hope by next week she'll be feeling better.I know that Matilda "Aunt Tillie" was the full sister of Charles.Were Irma and Aurelia his full sisters, half-sisters or step-sisters?Was Emelie their mother?He also had two step-sisters, Mrs. Minnie Musfield and Mrs. Emma Cannon.Do you know how these fit in?Joella says that because of the elder Mr. Ritter (Rutter)'s divorce that Charles would not talk about his father or the family.I have a photo of Charles and a photo of his wife, Bettina, if you would like me to e-mail you copies.I would appreciate any info on the family including your branch.Joella will be very interested!!Let me know if you want more on the descendants of Charles.
