*********************************
I was unable to find Rufus in 1880 or 1900, so his father is still a mystery. The birth
record in 1896 indicates he was living in Huntington Co., IN. I also was unable to find
any marriage records for either of Rufus' marriages or a marriage for his mother,
Susan Jones to a Helms. I hope this helps.......Karen
