According to the 1900 Calhoun Co., MS Census, William Kirkpatrick is the head of household. His wife is listed as Felice Kirkpatrick, 33 yrs, b: June 1866. They are residing with her 3 Children from a previous marriage, Lera, 11 yrs, b: Oct. 1888, MS, Arthur D., 9 yrs, b: Aug. 1891, MS, and Martha S. Ruth, 3 yrs, b: Nov. 1896, MS. This census also states that they were married in 1900, and that she is the mother of 5 children, 3 of whom are still living.

Added Note: Living next door to them is Susan Winter, wife of Jack M. Winter and mother of Ophelia (Winter) Ruth - Kirkpatrick. In the 1870 Township 15, Chickasaw, Mississippi Census, Jack M. Winter, 41 Yrs, b: 1829, AL., is living with his wife, Susan Winter, 37 Yrs, b: 1833, AL, and their 3 children: William, 14 yrs, b: 1856, MS., Patterson, 12 yrs, b: 1858, MS., and Phelia, 2 Yrs, b: 1868, MS.

According to the 1910 Beason, Chickasaw Co., MS Census,
William Kirkpatrick is the head of household. His wife is listed as Ophelia Kirkpatrick, 42 yrs, b: 1868, MS. They are residing with Ada L. Kirkpatrick, 9 yrs, b: 1901, MS, who is listed as their daughter. Also residing with them are Leah Ruth, 21, b: 1889, Ms and Sudie R. Ruth, 13 yrs, b: 1897, MS. Both Leah & Sudie are listed as step-children to William and daughters of Ophelia. This census also states that William & Ophelia have been married 10 years, and that Ophelia is the mother of 7 children, 4 of whom are still living.

Due to all the above info, it is my opinion that Felice and Ophelia are the same person.

Arthur & Edna Ruth had 9 Children:

Infant daughter, Gilman Winfield, Sarah Lavelle, Velma, Buren Thomas, William Charles, Leon Claudio, Grady James and Dorothy Faye Ruth.
