Notes for Ethel Ruggles
Dates of birth and death are from her gravestone. I cannot find her in the Kentucky birth or death index, nor the SSDI.
The birth place of Morgan Co., Ky is from the death certificate for their son Bobby Joe. There is a Nora Ethel Ruggles age 1 listed in the 1920 census of Morgan Co., daughter of Alph Ruggles and Eliza Goss, but I cannot find her in the birth index either, nor in the 1930 census.
