Ophelia, now known as Ruth O J Counsman, married Charles William Taylor on 13 Jul 1912, and they had two children, one named Glen William Taylor, the other unknown.
Ruth Ophelia Jane married second to William Fischer. The 1930 Census includes Ruth with William Fischer and her son Glen, now using the surname Fischer. Also Ruth's biological brother Clarence H Harney, was staying with them in Los Angeles, CA, at that time.
In 1940, Ruth Taylor is listed in Los Angeles, living alone. It appears she was using the Taylor surname at that time. She died two years later and the Social Security Death Index lists her as Ophelia Jane Fischer. She is buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale) Glendale, Los Angeles County, California, USA. Her grave is linked to her biological mother, Ada (Haack) Harney Manwaring and siblings.
