Her husband was Orrin Lynch Jeffries born Apr 22, 1896, deceased Oct 18, 1929. He died from "the dreaded German mustard gas" from WW1. Ruth may have drawn a military pension of some sort as he was a sergeant. I haven't explored that. They had 3 children. In 1929 Alma was 8, Norma Jean was 3, and Emma Florence was 8 months. According to correspondence from my great grandfather Ruth and the kids went to North Vernon, IL. after receiving some money, insurance I think. it doesn't say if it was permenant or not.I believe that Orrin and Ruth may have resided in Wilkinsburg, PA .prior to his death. I have a picture of the children Emma and Norma from 1997. I will try to contact my aunt this weekend to see if she has an address for either of them, as they may be a good connection for you.I'll keep you posted.
