"I am ruined"

My great-grandmother Lucinda Crawford O'Neal McBride, was born in 1860 near Wichita Falls TX. She married Robert Hugh McBride in 1883. They had 8 children, of which my grandfather James Thomas McBride was the second. Lucinda died Mar 22, 1905. Upon her death, her husband Robert wrote a letter to his father-in-law Thomas O'Neal. Following is the letter with the spelling as it was written:

March the 24, 1905 Gradpa and W H O'Neal I have bad news for you al Lu is gon dide wensda morning about 8 the doctor sed her bowels was loct and that ther no remedy only a operation and she was to far gon i sent you a telegram as sone as she died and went to mete you but did not her from you Ruin's folks did not cum i have not heard from them well I am ruined Good by R H McBride

Above is a picture of the family, Grandpa O'Neal is on the left; Robert McBride in the middle, Lucinda O'Neal McBride on the right. James Thomas, my grandfather, is standing behind Lucinda. The picture was taken in the winter of 1902. Though location is not identified, the baby Gilbert was born in Tecumseh, OK in Sep 1902, so I am presuming this is their home in Tecumseh.

UPDATE: My newfound 3rd cousin-in-law, Gena O'Neal, took me to the location of this log cabin, which is where the McBrides settled. It is located about 6 miles West of Tecumseh, about one mile south of the intersection of Hwy 9 and Hwy 102, and then east about 1/2 mile. No home exists there at present.
