Born in Minnesota Falls Township, YMC
Husband: Hugh Jacob "Ossie" Oswald
"Our family called her husband Ozzie. When he died he was cremated. Aunt Ruth
spread his ashes around a tree in Pier Park. It was a place he loved to go to
watch the kids play ball. She showed it to me three years after she had done it
and you could still see where they were. A few years later that tree died and
when they removed it they took lots of dirt also. With her typical sense of
humor she said, 'Now I don't know where Ozzie is!'"
