  1937 - Marries Otis Wilson "Joe" Maphis, Oct 26, 1937, Cumberland, MD. Otis, who later becomes a country music star, went by the stage name of Joe Maphis.  Joe married Rose Lee Schetrompf (still living at age 98 in July 2021) in 1953, soon after his divorce from Barbara.  Joe and Rose Lee performed as a duet in country music circles.

Wikipedia article about Joe Maphis does not mention his first wife Barbara and eldest daughter Carol.  However, the family DID keep in touch.  Daughter Carol is mentioned in her father's obituary and Rose Lee Maphis is mentioned in the obituary for great grand stepson Matthew C Sartorio.

Obituary for Ruth Martin
http://sites.rootsweb.com/~wvtucker/eiobits07/M07.htm
Accessed July 7, 2021
Ruth Martin, 62, of Tunnelton, died May 8, 2007, in Ruby Memorial Hospital in Morgantown.

She was born Dec. 28, 1944, at Fort Ashby, a daughter of Kathryn White Arbogast of Levels and the late Opha Arbogast.

Ruth was a loving wife, daughter, mother, grandmother, great-grandmother and a foster mother to 13. She was loved and will be greatly missed by all in her family and community; she brought extra light and warmth to all she knew.

She graduated from Merced High School in California. She owned and operated Ruth’s Catering Service, was a dispatcher for five years for the Preston County Sheriff’s Department and the Preston County Volunteer Fire Departments, a member of Tunnelton Lions Club and a member of Queenstown, Md., Moose Lodge.

She is survived by her husband of 31 years, Terry Martin of Tunnelton; four sons and spouses, Kirk and Sally Martin of Severn, Md., Bobby and Charlotte Martin of Tunnelton, Ritchie and Ann Martin of Eastern Shore, Md., and Ray Martin of Wheeling; three daughters and spouses, Loretta and James Pharis of Moatsville, Rebecca and Eric Maxson of Glen Burnie, Md., and Tammy Rey of Severn, Md.; three brothers, James Leon Arbogast of Winter Haven, Fla., William “Bud” Arbogast of Elkins and Opha and Faye Arbogast of Levels; 15 grandchildren and two great-grandchildren.

She was preceded in death by two brothers and one grandchild.

Friends may call at Browning Funeral Home in Kingwood from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today and from 2 p.m. to 4 p.m. and 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Friday. Services will take place at 11 a.m. Saturday, May 12, at the funeral home chapel with the Rev. Mike Matlick officiating. Interment will be in Mt. View Cemetery. Browning Funeral Home of Kingwood is in charge of the arrangements. Personal condolences may be offered to the family online at www.browningfuneralhome.net.
  Children in the obituary above were mostly born in the 1960's.  Ruth did not marry Terry Martin until around 1976.  Therefore, the children mentioned above were most likely Terry's children from a previous marriage.  OR maybe adopted foster children???

Obituary for Troy E "Sonny" Arbogast
https://www.berkebilefuneralhome.com/obituary/Troy-Arbogast
Accessed July 3, 2021

Troy E. “Sonny” Arbogast, 71, of Bedford went to be with the Lord, on Saturday November 25, 2017, at UPMC Altoona Hospital.

He was born on June 18, 1946, in Cumberland, a son of the late Troy E, and Sarah Alice (Kerns) Arbogast.

On March 8, 1975, in Cumberland, MD, he married Gail (Atwell) Arbogast who survives along with the following family: two sisters, Dolores Gale Fleischhauer and husband Harry, of Fairfield, OH, Wanda Illene Hartung and husband Louis, of Cumberland, MD; one brother, Randall Blake Arbogast of Mexico Farms, MD; and many nieces and nephews. He was preceded in death by one brother Richard Stephens Arbogast.
Sonny was retired from the Kelly Springfield Tire Company Store and a member of the Everett Grace Brethren Church. He loved the Lord and his greatest desire was to witness to others of his salvation. John 3:16 says “For God so Loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Sonny wanted you to know Jesus saves. He was an avid yard sale and auction attendee. He enjoyed reading his Bible, fishing and hunting.

At the request of the deceased there will be no visitation or services. Arrangements by the Timothy A. Berkebile Funeral Home, in Bedford. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to the Everett Grace Brethren Church, 14 West Main Street, Everett, PA 15537 or Mom’s Pets, 1065 Acorn Lane, Janes Creek, 16657.
