    Memoirs of Ralph Ritter, son of Freeda Rowley Ritter and grandson of Mary Jones Fisher Rowley, who was sister to this researcher's grandfather, Kyle Jones, Sr. Unknown when Ralph wrote his memorirs but he gave me a copy of them 2011 by regular mail. This is a scanned OCR copy and has a few basic bookmarks in the pdf. Ralph recounted many memories of his life growing up with many of the Jones family members as well as his paternal Ritter family members who have also been added to this genealogical file.
