According to the 1900 federal census, her parents were both living in the Plum Grove Township, before they were married. James Edwin RUTH was a farmhand who had moved from Ohio and was then apparently working for Harry Parker (? the name is really indistinct). Mae Ethel POE (listed in the census as May) was a schoolteacher living with her mother and siblings. Mary Frances POE (nee CAVE) was apparently a widow, as her husband Lafe POE drops out of the records between the 1880 and 1900 census reports. In 1880 they are both living in Plum Grove, but have no children until the next year when Mae/May was born. Mae/May was born in Potwin, according to the family Bible, and married James in 1903, although there is no indication where. At some they move and in the 1920 census show up in Everett and then had a home in Yates Center. I would appreciate any information on the three families when they lived in Butler County.
