I am so very grateful for your help. This is the person I was looking for. I find it strange that she changed her last name to PAIGE instead of PAGE, and that she was now going by Ruby, which was short for her middle name Rubetta. She had always been referred to in documents as Disa or Ditha. I'm curious as to how they thought she was a native to Mississippi. Her parents were my g-g-g-grandparents and her husband was my g-grandfather's brother, so I am kin on both sides. Thank you again!
