From the 1920 Alliance Semi-Weekly Times, Alliance, Nebraska:
Tuesday, February 24 - "Mr. and Mrs. Ed Marshall are the proud parents of a daughter, born Wednesday. Dr. McEwen of Hemingford was in attendance..."
Tuesday, November 9 - "Ruby, the nine-month old baby of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Marshall, died about 11:30 Friday night from the effects of whooping cough."
Tuesday, November 16 - "At the request of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Marshall who buried their little girl last Sunday, we wish to thank the many friends for their kindnesses in the hour of bereavement and for the many beautiful floral offerings."
In 2017, Ruby's older sister, three years old at the time, still remembered and told of the night her baby sister died. Her mother's heartbreak was etched in her memory for all time.
