Biography
Ruth was born in 1892. She was the daughter of Robert Smith and Augusta Roach. She passed away in 1947.
Research Notes
She married 1) John C. Keel on 28 Apr 1912 in Calhoun County, Florida. This differs from the current information on the FamilySearch tree which identifies a John Henry keel marrying her in 1910. She and John Keel had a daughter Gussie.
FamilySearch gives a second husband of Charles Isaac Weatherly -- but the information there is contradictory and has no proof of marriage. Gussie uses the surname Weatherby at times.
Third marriage was to Verner Autrey.
