She walked under the sun and moon... on sod and stone... and yearned for heaven...

Ruth Jackson married Major League Baseball star Charles Frederick "Red" Lucas in 1924, at the beginning of his long career, as a pitcher and celebrated pinch hitter in the National League. Ruth had four children with Red, the "the Nashville Narcissus":

Charles Frederick, Jr. 1/11/1926-12/11/2000
Bobby, who died in infancy 12/17/1927-12/19/1927
William Robert bc 1930
Nancy Jackson 12/31/1939-1/17/2019

Ruth's grave marker information doesn't quite match certain historical records, which report her middle initial as "R" and her birth year as 1897, but this stone almost certainly marks the resting place of Red's wife Ruth who rests near her husband.
