Ruth and Herman had a son, Basil A. Hulsema, in August of 1873.  

Ruth is listed on the 1880 United States Census as being sick with "consumption" which we know as tuberculosis today.

Basil A. Hulsema is listed on the 1900 United States Census as living with Ruth's step-sister, Elizabeth C (Durbin) Biracree and her husband Bernard Biracree. 

George A. Schultz (b. 1890), son of James & Margaret E. (Durbin) Schultz (b. 1858), another sister of Daniel Basil Durbin, is also listed on the same 1900 census as living with the Biracree family.


At this point, from the above, it is assumed that Ruth Ann died sometime between 1880 and 1900.

Basil died in Center Township, Mercer County Ohio.  He was laid to rest at Saint Mary's Catholic Cemetery in Celina, Mercer County, Ohio.

The book "A Portrait and Biographical Record of Mercer and Van Wert Counties, Ohio, Part 1" (A.W. Bowen, 1896) states the year of his passing as 1889.  Many records on ancestry.com claim the year of his passing as 1883. Basil's headstone is severely weathered and could've been mistakenly read either way.
