Edith Ligda and Ruth Griswold

Sisters Edith Griswold Ligda (b. 1883, d. 1974) and Ruth Griswold (b. 1876, d. 1965) are pictured at the Griswold Inn in this photograph. They were two of fourteen children of Worthington Franklin Griswold and Fondelia Ruth Griswold. The sisters were great-grand daughters of Worthington Pioneer Ezra Griswold, who built and operated the Griswold Inn adjacent to the northeast quadrant of the Village Green. The Inn was converted to a residence where Worthington F. Griswold raised his family. Ruth Griswold was the last occupant, leaving Worthington in January 1964 to live with her sister Edith in California before the building was razed. Ruth Griswold was a graduate of St. Luke's Hospital School of Nursing (Denver, CO). She lived most of her life in Worthington, Ohio. Edith Ligda married Paul Ligda and relocated to California.
