Ruth was a liberated woman
long before the term was
coined. She was one of the first
women in the community to
drive an automobile and said
from that time on she was
completely independent. She
could go any place and do
anything she pleased any time
she desired. She could and did
maintain the family automo
bile in the days of vacuum
tanks and clincher tires. She
was undaunted by trips as far;
as Yellowstone Park in the
days before service stations
. and paved roads.
She has been referred to by
George Tucker, long-time pri
ncipal of lone schools as "the
most dynamic woman I ever
met." She served as member
and chairman of the lone
School Board for more than 20
years and was extremely
interested in youth activities.
She was a charier member of
Locust Chapter, OES. and
having filled all the offices of
the chapter, she served as
secretary for at least 20 years.
She was chosen as grand
mother of the lone Chapter,
Rainbow for Girls.
She was a member of the
lone Topic Club, the Cecil
Grange, and the Daughters of
the American Revolution. Aft
er moving to Oak Grove, she
became a member of the Oak
Grove Methodist Church and
sang in their choir.
Other than being an avid
reader and lover of poetry, her
interests were mostly outside
the home. She loved camping,
fishing, travel, golf and base
ball. She maintained her own
official score book and kept an
accurate record of every
game the town team played
during her residence here.
