Additional Comments:
Ruthie and her parents lived only 3/4 mile from my parents Peter & Agnes 
Wisbiski where we lived and I knew all her sisters and brothers and also her 
husband Tony. We all lived on Huron & Sanilac County Line Road. We always try 
to stop and visit Ruth and family in Ubly when every we visit the thumb area.
