Mary Lewis Osterman said the following about Sonora in a taped interview done in the 1980s (``Aunt Becky'' is Rebecca Pierson Lewis, great-aunt of Mary):

Aunt Becky had a daughter who was my father's age, Sonora Ritter, her (maiden) name was Sonora Cook. She married Dr. Ritter, from Paola or someplace. He was teaching school, that's where they met. He wanted to become an eye, ear and throat specialist. So Sonora taught school and sent him (Dr. Ritter) to school to become that (an eye, ears and throat specialist). And they had 2 children, Harold and Fern and when Fern... now Harold had gone to Franklin and graduated, and Fern was in Franklin. Sonora (Ed. - left Dr. Ritter due to marital difficulties and ) went out and lived her last year's at grandfather's (Ed. - John M. Lewis').
