Mar, 1871 to John Calvin BALES and Mary Clarinda JACOBS. I do not have a husband for her, but she could be the person you are looking for. The latest Ray County Reflections did have a newspaper article pertaining to the 50th Wedding anniversary of John and Mary BALES. The daughters are listed as Mrs. Fannie CARTER (my ancestor), Mrs. H. M. BURTON, Mrs. Mary C. LINVILLE, Mrs. William F. SUITS, all of Richmond, and Mrs. James B. MARTIN of Kansas City. So no BABER is listed. Hope this helps, Carter Rogers
