My grandfather's youngest sister was Ruth L. ARNOLD born in Shelby County, IN in 1886.
Their parents were William Henry Arnold and Malissa Ann COBLER Arnold. My grandfather was
one of eight siblings and when their parents died, the two youngest children, Ruth L. and
her brother, George, were still minors. Their Uncle Nelson Cobler had charge of the
children and placed Ruth and George in the Shelbyville Sailors and Soldiers Orphans Home
where they were to stay and be educated until each became age 16. They were admitted into
the Home about 1897 or 1898. I have the records on that. I do know that Ruth married
Albert Anderson in Shelby County, Indiana on Aug. 3, 1902. This is all I know about my
great-aunt, Ruth. Does anyone have any information at all on her or her husband, Albert
Anderson? Did they stay married? Did they have children? Just any information at all would
be so helpful in learning more about my great-aunt's life and where she may have died
and was buried. Please!
help if you can. Thank you, RJ Arnold
