Additional Comments: Ruby Clark Patterson was the last wife of my paternal grandfather Austin Patterson of Elberton, GA. I do not know when or where they married, but it was after 1944. He died in 1953 and ,in preparation for his death, engraved her name "Ruby C." on his headstone at Elmhurst Cemetery in Elberton, GA. It is of note that, 38 years later, when Ruby died either she or her family chose not to bury her next to her late husband.
