It seems the original profile that was downloaded was for John Anton Ruth, Jr. John already has a profile, John Anton Ruth, Jr., and this profile should be merged with his in my opinion.
Over the years, the profile has changed and become more conflated.
The birth and death dates on the profile now do not match.
I can't find a John Ruth with this birthdate. The closest I found was a birth date of June 4 1933.
I can find the death date, but the birth doesn't match it. (should be December 8 1897)
Wife Regina Walstrum, I can't find a record of her marriage. Her social security record does list her married name as Ruth, but not the name of her huband.
Wife Mollie, I found a Mollie married to a Jacob Ruth, and one married to John Sylvester Ruth
This biography is impossible as the father was dead long before the person of this profile was born.
John Jr. was a paternal Uncle to famous baseball player George Herman "Babe" RUTH.
John Jr. had at least 5 children.
1932 John Jr. was buried at MD,Baltimore-Co,Baltimore-City,Loudon-Park-Cemetery.

According to the BIO this is the uncle of Babe Ruth. However, that person already has a profile Ruth-633, which means the exact dates listed here are for someone else.
Babe Ruth's was married to Mary E. Bell. She does not match either of these wives, hence the parents (Father Ruth-6) have been removed as well as the sources attached which range from teh year 1870 (Before the birth of the person in this profile). By working on the wives of this profile perhaps we can find out who he is.
Is this person a merge of two John's information? His parents were born in nearly 100 years before him and his birth date has been changed from 1866 to 1932 at some point. The 1932 date seems to be the death date from the FAG memorial listed, the FAG memorial also matched his brother John Anton who married Mary. Not sure where these wives are from. Good luck!
