*Additional information: 

Her marriage is not found in the Southampton Co. records, nor is her parents'. 

Burial site not known (Jan 2014) to the Southampton County Historical Society 
   {SCHS} Cemetery Project. 

There is a COUNCIL family cemetery near Ivor, but there are no markers. 
   SCHS Cemetery Project, Miscellaneous Cemeteries, Vol. 2 (II-52): 
   http://files.usgwarchives.net/va/southampton/cemeteries/miscvol2.txt 

That list gives only one name, similar to her father- 
   Samuel B. COUNCIL SR. (Died 193?).

An abstract of his death certificate (1935-1418-2687) is posted at:

Both give his wife as Sally Judson Councill. 

Ruth's husband's name was gleaned from the SCHS Cemetery Project.

   in Tucker Swamp Baptist Church Cemetery.
