*Rub Evans was known for his kindness to his fellowman. He loved music. He could play the fiddle, but his wife Arindia would not let him play it in the house. She said it was the devil's instrument.
He would go down the lane about 1/2 mile from the house and sit on the rail fence and play his fiddle. He would make up songs about each of his children and sing to them.
-"OUR LIVES", page 38

"At the end, Rub told Arindia it was time, he took a bath, put on his best suit, and lay down on his bed and passed away." – Memory, James Eclet Evans

Loreta helped with William Evans of Butler County "OUR LIVES", traveling back to Texas several times assisting Layana Rae Blankenship on interviews photos and layout.
