Obituary published in The Friend, 3/1/1884:
"Died at her residence, near Pennsville, Morgan Co., Ohio, on the 31st of 1st mo. 1884, Ruth M. Kite, wife of James R. Kite, aged 47 years, a member of Pennsville Monthly and Particular Meeting. She was of a meek and quiet spirit, very much attached to the doctrines and testimonies of the Society of Friends, endeavoring to live in accordance therewith. During a somewhat protracted illness, she manifested a spirit of resignation to the Divine will, though it was a sore conflict to part with her husband and children - being naturally of a very affectionate disposition. A short time before her close, her children being at her bedside, she said with a pleasant smile, 'Mother has given you to the dear Savior.'"
