| 1. | Ruth Wandyne DE CILLO was born 14 Jul 1904, Keokuk, Lee, Iowa; died 28 May 1996, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. Notes:
Ruth 'Chita' O'Connor wrote in June 1976 in the Orange County Genealogical Society Quarterly that her father was "Charles Elmore Cosby (changed to Charles E. De Cillo ca. 1901)," and her California Death Certificate from 1996 reads, "Mother's Maiden Name: Decillo, Father's Surname: Cosby."
Ruth, writing in 1983, told the story of Susannah North, an ancestor she traces through Keziah Chase, wife of Amos Hobart b.1774. According to Ruth, Susannah was found guilty of being a witch in Salem Village on 2 May 1692, and hanged on 19 July 1692 on Gallows Hill. She was buried on said Hill, because witches could not be buried in the church cemetery.
Ruth married August Joseph O'CONNOR 16 Jun 1923, Pima, Arizona. August (son of Frank O'CONNOR and Rosario M. LNU) was born 27 Aug 1900, Mexico City, Mexico; died 5 Jul 1984, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California. [Group Sheet]
