I believe Grace may have been a year or two older than Ross. The following year they had a daughter, Ruth. >From August 1967 I have a envelope from Grace, mailed from Riverside, RI (to my Aunt in NJ) with enclosures of a delayed registration dated 19 August 1943, with a copy of a notarized birth information by the clerk of Allegany County William W Bush taken from the 1892 Census of Friendship, NY...stating that at that time Ross was 10, thus born in 1882. It appears from a note from the Div of Vital Statistics NY dated 25 Sept 1946 the information was sent to Ross at c/o Whipples Store in Manville, RI. Ross worked for the Pennsylvania Rail Road, out of the Buffalo division as a Engineman. (his Pass cards were also enclosed) This all may have been done to have an Social Security number issued, which is hand written on the notarized document by a family member, or maybe Ross himself. It begins 111-so maybe this is a number issued by the RR. If I could find information on their marriage (I have tried all the usual websites) I would know Grace's maiden name. If Ruth married, perhaps there are offspring. Looking for hope of help on this issue. (brick wall). I do not know when Ross or Grace died or where they are buried. I would think Ross died before the August 1967 letter was sent, and buried in RI THANKS! Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
