[or-roots] Ruth Tompkins

[Leslie Chapman]

Tried searching Family Search Oregon marriage collections for these ten couples and turned up not one of them in any combination of Surname with spouse Rose or Ruth. I didn't try Rose Sides etc since listing her mother as Nevin makes me think it is highly unlikely she is the right person.
Darn again.> In 1920, we find 7 “Ruth” entries born in Oregon ca 1894, mother born Ohio, who are married: Ruth E Bowder, Portland, (father b Oregon) husband, D Frank  Ruth Frank, Portland, (father b PA)  husband Aaron (1930 indicates they have been married about 13 years)Ruth E Johnson, Seaside, (father b Oregon) husband, Oscar J (1930 has them married 10 years)Ruth Mehlin, Burlingame, San Mater County, California (father b Wisconsin) (b 1893) husband Arthur C)Ruth V Pierce, Lakewood Ward 3, Cuyahoga, Ohio, (father b Ohio) husband Harry L (b 1893)Ruth Probst, LA, LA County, CA, (father b Iowa) husband LloydRuth A Van Cleve, Central Howell, Marion County, Oregon, (father b Switzerland)  husband Vernon B The only “choice” here, given the parameter of father’s birthplace, is Ruth Frank, in Portland. However, she and Aaron have a son, Richard S, who is 1 year, 11 months old.  The enumeration is dated 6 Jan 1920, which means he was born ca
 Feb 1918. Dang. Using “Rose” we find three: Rose Hunt, Moscow, Idaho, (father b PA), husband Lenord P (Lemuel in 1930, married about 12 years, oldest dau is 10)Rose Sides/Siden/Sidor/Nevin (whew), Vallejo, Solano County, California, husband not present, mother is Cora Nevin.
