On this day in 1942..

On this day in 1942, Luther L. Bischoff married Donna Knowles in Zanesville, Ohio.  He was eldest son of Emma Brueggeman.   I found the newspaper story on their wedding..  Many of his Aunts and Uncles were expected to attend.  His father, Walter Bischoff, played the organ.

Ruth Ellen Bischoff, daughter of Emma Brueggemann

Ruth Ellen was born on this day in 1917.  Sadly, she died just before her ninth birthday in 1926.  I know children had a higher rate of mortality in those day but it would still be hard on the family.  Emma and Walter had five children.  When Ruth died, her sister Juanita was a baby.  Think about how hard it would have been for Emma caring for a small baby and grieving the loss of Ruth.

Does anybody know about the cause of death?  Was it an accident? A chronic illness? A sudden sickness?  Leave a comment if you have info.  Also, I would love to have a picture of her rather than the picture I have below.
