Her parents were Stephen F Austin Staggs and Anna Cora Jackson per death certificate.
It is unclear exactly how many marriages Ruth had the one known was William Lafayette.
I am not convinced that the Ruth Shephard that married
G E Johnston was in fact her. If that is true then she obviously married an unknown Shephard prior to both marriages which would have made her very young at that time.
Note: There is conflicting information on the DOB - birth certificate has Feb 18, 1894 and death certificate Feb 22, 1893. I have used death certificate date until further evidence is shown or direct descendant should know please advise.
