The handwritten note behind this photo reads:
Ruby SherrI believe this photo dates to the same day as the one of the home guard band.
June 1918
At Old Base Ball Ground
In the background, right of Ruby, you can see what looks very much like a brickyard stack spewing out smoke.
Checking the 1920 Census, I find a likely candidate in Ruby Shurr, 21 years old, living in Porter Township, Porter County. Her parents, Andrew and Clara, farm their own land. You can see the Shurr farm on this map, if you really want to.
