from the Bryan Press, Oct. 2, 1924, page5/col.6
-----------------------
Ruth married William Garloch on December 24, 1856 in Gratiot, Ohio..
Wm. was also known Wm. Garlow.
They then moved to Bryan, Ohio.
William enlisted in the Civil War and had been wounded in 1864 at Spottsylvania, VA..
Not having children, they adopted an infant daughter, Ellen Hulbert, born in 1870.
Ellen's mother had died not too long after her birth. Possibly her father thought it best for her to be raised by the adopting couple, than just by himself, being newly widowed.
As Ellen's (Ella), middle name is Amanda,
it is possible that the middle name was given to her, due to William's adult sister, Amanda Garlow, who was living with and being taken care of by Wm. and Ruth, at the time of Ella's adoption by them. (Amanda Garlow had some disabilities.)
Years later. Ella and her husband, Samuel Wirick, help take care of elderly stroke-paralyzed William, until his death.
