Mabel was born in a two-story log home on the corner of Summit and Michigan Roads, in Leonidas Twp., St Joseph Co, MI; she referred to this location as "Johnny Cake Hill". Her parents later lived in a farm house in front of the log house.
She was not assigned a middle name at birth, but liked the name "Ruth", so adopted it. Hence, there is an "R" on her grave marker and "Ruth" appears as a middle name on her death record.
She was a member of the First Church of the Nazarene.
