1930 census has a Ruth Brough, 31, Divorced, b. MN to Swedish father, MN mother, living in Seattle with her mother Carrie Norgren, widowed, age 59.

in 1910, Ruth is Ruth A Norgren, living with her widowed mother in Spokane, WA

In 1920 she is still Ruth Norgren living in Spokane with her sister, Hazel. Her mother is listed as Carrie Baker.

So Ruth must have married [?] Brough and then divorced him between 1920 and 1930.

Ruth was found in 1900 with her parents in MN
Father, Andrew G, b. May 1866, Sweden,
Mother, Carrie A, b. Oct 1868, MN, m 7 yrs
Ruth A, b. Oct 1898, MN


The N in Ruth N Brough is probably for Norgren.
