I,
NINA CULVER DRYDEN, who first being duly sworn, on oath, deposes
and says;
That I was born January 10, 1870 near Ottumwa, Kansas and
am an American
Citizen and that I am the Aunt of Royal Raymond Rife and
that at the
time of the death of his Mother Ida May Rife,
when he was about 8 months
old, his Father brought him to me and raised him and
brought him up as
though he was mw own although I never legally adopted
him. He lived
with me continually from the time he was 8 months of age
until the year
1905 and I have been constantly in touch with him ever
since.
The facts surrounding his birth, to the best of my

This was the second child born to these parents, one

Both of these
Parents were of the white race and this child was a
legitimate child.
