==Personal life== | |||
Frederick Santee was married twice: first to Edith Rundle, who was 20 years older than him. Santee later claimed that he felt pressured to marry her and only did so out of kindness, not because he was in love with her. They adopted a daughter, Ruth, while living in Nashville in 1930. | |||
He later married Betty Addis of Philadelphia. They remained married for 21 years until her death at the age of 57. | |||
===Daughter=== | |||
Santee's only child, Ruth, married an older man as soon as she turned 18. She divorced him shortly after marrying and then married Juan V. Zaragoza. Her marriage to Juan was extremely difficult due to his violent outbursts which were so extreme that the police became involved numerous times. They had a daughter together, Rebecca Zaragoza, and divorced in 1962. | |||
Ruth then married her third and final husband, Alfred Jenanyan. Together, they had one daughter, Sheila Kathlyn Jenanyan, in 1953. Ruth died in 1965 at the age of 33. | |||
