Mattie Ruth Proctor

Mattie Ruth Proctor, also recorded as Ruth Proctor Lamm and Mattie Lamm, is represented here by every currently assembled site evidence object that directly identifies her or materially documents her life with Matthew Spurgeon Lamm. Shared records remain the same evidence objects used on the other people and collection pages.

Recorded information

Birth-date conflict: the existing People data gives 24 July 1919, while compiled genealogy material in the collection gives 24 July 1920. The 1936 marriage certificate records her as age 22. The conflicting values are preserved rather than silently reconciled.

Family recollections — page 55

Compiled family history containing Janice's recollections of Uncle Spurgeon and Aunt Ruth, their daughter Geraldine, and the wartime separation. Interpretive medical commentary on the page is the compiler's opinion, not an established diagnosis. Open page 55.

Family history continuation — page 56
