    Notes 
    • Ruby was named after her maternal great grandmother Louise Ruby, the wife of Valentine Wertz. [6]

    • Ruby Lines, little daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Lines, was badly burned on the shoulder last evening about ten o’clock, with some boiling milk, which Mrs. Lines had prepared for the baby. [7]

    • Ruby had to quit school in the 4th grade to help with her siblings. [8]

    • Mom always had a special place in her heart for [brothers] Melvin and Monroe.

      If I remember right grandma Lines [Ruby's mother Nora] was not doing well physically and my mom took care of them. Much like quiting school in the 4th grade to care for her siblings. Have often wondered how different my mom's life would have been if she could have finished her education, but then I might not have been born. [9]

    • Ruby broke her hip in November 1992 at the age of 85. [10]

    Notes 
    • Memories of my Aunt Ruby & Uncle Charles
      By her nephew Richard Lee Gleason


      Like most of my Ohio relatives it wasn’t often that I got to visit with my Aunt Ruby and her husband Charles. But I do recall the several times that my mother and I visited their home during our infrequent trips to Ohio. I loved going to Ohio. It was a real treat to visit with this branch of my family that I didn’t see as often as those in Pennsylvania.

      Aunt Ruby and Charles had a fairly large two-story home with a basement in Canton, Ohio. It included a huge spacious backyard, and plenty of room for a young boy to play. Inside their home in the dining room hung a “paint by numbers” painting that my mother spent numerous hours creating. It was a recreation of Leonardo Divinci’s “Last Supper.” I’m sure my mother thought it especially appropriate for her church-going, Bible reading, Gospel preaching, Christian sister Ruby.

      Uncle Charles was a devoted hunter and I’m sure, typical of most of the men in my extended family, spent many hours with his own sons enjoying the sport and outdoors. He owned a large gun collection. I liked Charles a lot as he was a good man who always treated me well and I envied him for the large family that he had.

      Ruby and Charles’ life was not without tragedy. In the early 1960s their oldest son Chuck died from cancer at the age of 32. Late in the same decade their youngest daughter, nineteen year old Cheryl, would be killed in an early morning New Years car accident on January 1, 1968.

      My Aunt Ruby late in her life suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. For several years she lived with her daughter Bertha Lee and eventually had to be put in a nursing home, where I believe she lived a year or two before her death. [17]
