Alfred and Betty Ruth were married for 45 years and had four children together. She passed away less than 24 hours after he did.
Betty Ruth was my (half) 4th cousin. Our direct ancestor was Canneth Swain (1770-1831).
These types of articles offer lots of information for the family tree. They provide the bride's maiden name; the names of the parents of the couple and where they are from; the address of the both the bride's and groom's parents; how the couple met; where they each attended school; where Alfred was employed; and that he had served in the military during World War II. Because of the great information they provide, I save all engagement, wedding, and marriage announcements I find.
