Young black child actress who was a performer with The Cabin Kids. She was not related to the others, who were all siblings: Helen 'Precious' Hall, James 'Darling' Hall, Winifred 'Sugar' Hall and Frederick 'Honey' Hall. Ruth was not related to the other Cabin Kids; her actual parents were friends with the mother of the other four Cabin Kids. [note: this is mentioned at the top of the Cafe Roxy link] However, Helen's obituary makes mention of Mrs. Ruth Patterson (her married name) being her "foster sister" -- as does father James K. Hall (d. 06 Feb 1972)'s obituary, which mentions Ruth as his "foster daughter" -- and the obituaries for Frederick, James and Winifred also mentioned her as a sister. |
