There's a high probability that this is the Ruby Watkins who was engaged to Cory at the time of his accident and whom he released in the hospital to "find a nice young fellow who is all there."
The woman in this circa 1903 photo is in fact named Ruby Watkins and she is confirmed by the living Watkins family as having lived in the area during that time. she married in 1905 but never had children.
We're trying now to confirm whether she had an association with Cory, but the odds are pretty great that she is the one.
