FIRST OF ALL LET ME SAY THANK YOU TO ALL WHO RESPONDED TO MY POSTING. I AM SORRY BUT WHEN I PUT THE YEAR RANGE IN FOR RUTH IT WAS 1930-1942 NOT 1920. I KNOW IT HAS TO BE BETWEEN THOSE YEARS BECAUSE SHE WAS IN THE 1930 CENSUS AND MY PARENTS WERE MARRIED IN 1942 AND MY MOTHER SAID THAT SHE HAD ALREADY PASSED AWAY. I DID WRITE ST. PAUL CHURCH BUT THEY HAVE NO RECORD OF EITHER CHARLES OR RUTH. ALSO I WROTE THE CUYAHOGA ARCHIVES AND THEY LOOKED IN THE FILES FROM 1850-1950 AND FOUND NOTHING. SO HERE IS WHAT I KNOW. THEY WERE MARRIED APRIL 5, 1909 I BELIEVE IT WAS IN TOLEDO, OHIO. THEN IN 1920 THEY SHOW UP ON THE CENSUS IN CLEVELAND AND CHARLES WAS THERE UNTIL HIS DEATH IN 1954. HE WAS BORN JAN. 27, 1884 IN CRESTLINE OHIO AND DIED AUG. 1955 IN CLEVELAND. SHE WAS BORN JAN. 9, 1879 IN AUGLAIZE, MOLTON TOWNSHIP, OHIO. I HAVE BEEN IN CONTACT WITH A FEW OF RUTH'S DISTANT RELATIVES BUT LIKE ME THEY KNOW NOTHING. SO IF ANYONE CAN HELP ME I WOULD GREATLY APPRECIATE IT I AM UP AGAINST A BRICK WALL AND DO NOT KNOW WHERE TO TURN NEXT. I F ANYONE HAS ANY QUESTIONS FEEL FREE TO E-MAIL ME AT SLCC46@HOTMAIL.COM THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE.
