| Miscellaneous Information |
1) The first time Ruth voted in the U.S.
Presidential Election was when she was 21 years old. Her father,
Erick, took her to vote. This was for the election of Herbert
Hoover, who served from 1929-1933. 2) I have a transcription of an extensive interview
I did with my grandma - Ruth Evelyn (Holum) Ward - October 2005. She
was nearly 97 years old at the time. 3) Newspaper
article regarding Ruth's 99th birthday celebration. 4) I have a
signed Christmas card
that my grandma (Ruth) sent me for Christmas 2008. 5) Photos from
Ruth's 100th birthday
celebration on 20 Jan 2009, Austin, Texas. 6) Newspaper
article regarding Ruth's 100th birthday celebration. 7) I have
