Ruth Anvaleen Ellis' middle name, Anvaleen, came from her maternal Aunt Anvaleen Worsham.
Ruth first married L. Albert Zirschky on Nov. 19, 1911. Their marriage lasted twenty years. After her husband Albert's death in 1932, Ruth then married second to Marion Zirschky, Albert's older brother, on Sept. 3, 1933.
Ruth kept chickens and sold the eggs, helped milk the cows and gardened as long as she was able. She also quilted and was a very good cook.
Ruth lost her life's savings when the banks closed during the Depression, but she and her children farmed and got by. The children went to Logan School and attended church at Rock Springs and Cedar Valley. After she married Marion Zirschky, her grandchildren enjoyed visiting them as it was like stepping back in time. They didn't get electricity until the mid 1960s and never had a TV. She cooked on a woodstove and kept milk and butter cool by placing it in a tub of cold water in the well house. After Marion died Ruth stayed on the farm with her son Warren, until 1976 when she became ill and was confined to a nursing home where she remained until her death in 1979.
Ruth's obituary gave her middle name as Angeline. A different obituary spelled her name as Anveline.
Ruth A. Ellis Zirschky died at the age of 86 years, two months and 28 days at the Thomas Manor Nursing Center after a long illness. (Thought to be in Missouri, maybe Texas county) She had lived at Bendavis, Missouri for a time.
Suvivors were two sons, Warren and Howard Zirschky, three daughters, Jeanetta, Thelma and Fay, one step-son, Audley Zirschky, State of Idaho, six step-daughters, Mrs. Pearl Leighty of Fairview, Missouri, Mrs. Opal Black of Dawson, Missouri, Mrs. Mabel Hopping and Mrs. Cora Crisp, both of Mountain Grove, Mrs. Nora Crisp of Manes, Missouri, and Mrs. Hazel Black, of California, eight grandchildren, four great grandchildren, several step-grandchildren, numerous nieces and nephews, other relatives and many friends.
