 1.Did she marry?

She is not buried with her parents at Sunsethill Cemetery Edwardsville Illinois, or have I missed information?
 Would appreciate help in finding her

Someone on A***y has Mary E Hopkins, daughter of William John and Mary E.  Mary's date of birth was 25 June 1909, born in Madison, Indiana.  Her stated date of death was 15 August 1989 in Indiana.

The 1910 census states her age as 1 (census taken in April 1910).  Entries on her family's page show exact months of birth for those under one year old.  (I hope that makes sense.)  If she was born in June, I wonder why her age was not written as 10/12?

According to the census images, the four children were born in Indiana.  However, I do not see them on the Indiana Births (1880-1920).  :-\

In 1930, the family was living in Granite City, Illinois.

Social Security index for deaths:
Mary E. Hopkins, born 5 February 1909, died 10 February 1988.  State SSN issued:  Illinois.
Last residence:  Granite City, Madison, Illinois.

Perhaps this is your Mary Esther?

Sending an address for Mary E. (by pm) from the public records index.  I don't know when the information was gathered.

Two of Mary's siblings are listed, if you don't have their exact dates of birth.

Indiana marriage: Wm J Hopkins and Mary E L Jones, Madison County.  Exact date of marriage is listed, if you don't already have it.

Indiana marriages
Wm J Hopkins married Mary E L Jones on 14 November 1903, Madison County, Indiana

Indiana births
Hopkins (no first name on record), born 1907.  Parents were John Hopkins and Nellie Jones. Madison County, Indiana.  (Will send exact date by pm.  I have one ancestor who lived to be 105 years old and we just lost a close relative this year who was 97 years old.  I don't like to post personal information even if there's just the slightest chance that the person could still be alive.)

Someone on A***y has a different birth date for Ruth.  Perhaps the information I posted regarding Ruth is not for "your" Ruth, but just a couple with similar names?
