She isn’t my blood relative but I’m documenting Elma Arna Maggart because—during research—I saw her parent’s “cousin marriage.” Perhaps another researcher did not see the connection? Why do I document “branches” that are on someone else’s tree? Answer: I see it, I add it, and hope I’ve helped a fellow researcher. (This is an extension of information from the obituary I documented yesterday.)

Happy 98th Birthday, Rhoda.

DAYTON, Ohio (WDTN) – Friends and family of Dayton resident Ruth Flory gathered at Marion’s Piazza Monday evening to celebrate her 100th birthday.

2 NEWS asked Ruth what her secret is to living a long and happy life, to which she said, “I think it’s having a good foundation. Your parents, and my husband, the one above, and just keep moving. You have to keep your brain moving and everything else moving.”

She says she keeps moving by staying active in her community.
