Durrill Abstract This study examines changes that Kentucky’s white middle class made to marital ideals in the middle decades of the nineteenth century. It demonstrates that this developing class refined an earlier ideal of companionate marriage to better suit their economic, social, and cultural circumstances in an urban environment. This reevaluation of companionate marriage corresponded with Kentucky’s escalating entry into a national market economy and the state’s most rapid period of urbanization. As it became increasingly unlikely that young men born to Kentucky’s white landed settler families would inherit either land or enslaved labor, they began to rely on advanced education in order to earn a livelihood in towns and cities. Because lack of land and labor caused a delay in their ability to marry, the members of Kentucky’s middle class focused attention on romantic passion rather a balance of reasoned affection and wealth in land when they formulated their urban marital ideal.

Not to worry—the real thing is readily available because Rebecca-Ruth, the company Booe and her friend Rebecca Gooch founded, is still going strong. In 1919, dissatisfied with their poor-paying jobs as substitute teachers in Frankfort, Ruth and Rebecca decided to change careers—from teaching to chocolate. It was unusual in those days for women in their twenties to become entrepreneurs, but these two had uncommon nerve and imagination. They marketed their candy by staging loud conversations about how wonderful it was in theater lob- bies and on busy street corners.They also bought a used car, stripped it down to a racer, mounted Rebecca-Ruth signs on the sides, and drove it all over central Kentucky. Rebecca-Ruth prospered, but Ruth left the business in 1924 when she married Douglas Booe.
