Rebecca Bertram married twice. First she married William "Bill" Rule on 22 Aug 1862. She was age 19 and he was about 21. He was murdered on 11 Oct 1862, a civilian casualty during the Civil War. Their only child, Ruthie Alice Rule, was born 24 Aug 1863, after her father's death.
Here are details about the death of William "Bill" Rule. This is from the notes made in 1939 by Bertram historian, Myrtle Tennessee Bertram Dalton, during a visit with her grandfather, Elza L. Bertram, in Sunnybrook, Wayne County, Kentucky.
"Grandfather's sister Rebecca married Bill Rule, Aug. 1862. Two months later, Bill went to Overton County, Tennessee on a visit to his uncle, Jacob Bertram. He was killed Oct. 11, 1862, by guerillas of the Company of Tinker Dave Beaty. (11) Seven of the guerillas were killed by Jim Hawey, a cousin of the Bertrams. The night Bill was killed, Rebecca was at home with her mother. She tho't she heard Bill's voice calling her the third time. So positive was she that she had heard him calling her that she got out of bed and went out in the yard and around the house three times, believing he was there somewheres."
Second, Rebecca married George Washington Guinn about 1868, when she was a young widow, about 25 years old. She is buried near her sister, Jane (Bertram) Brown, but in the next row, at Pleasant Hill Cemetery.
