Ruth died as a young mother from pneumonia and is buried next to her nephew Leonard Preston McKim, who died the day after. A double funeral was held. She was a deeply religious young woman and kept herself in constant prayer while she lay on her death bed. Family letters relay that she recited the Lord's Prayer and requested that her bible be brought to her so she could keep it near in her final hours.
