Family Story passed down from Ferrell Alagood Ruble.
In 1913, when he was 31, he met a black-haired woman named Ora Alagood. When he saw the 19 year old for the first time, he told himself he had to marry her. On their initial date, he was brazen enough to give words to his dream - and she accepted the proposal. "I would have married her right then and there, " he said. "But I had to get an operation for an appendicitis. Had to wait a year to get married." They had six children; five boys and one girl. Mr. Ward would add a seat to the horse-drawn buggy each time a baby was born. Any more youngsters and the buggy might have become as elaborate as a car.
