====================================================
Ruby and Clifford were married in Hodgenville, Kentucky on Water Street on 24 July 1943. They were married at the home of C. C. Omer, a preacher at the time. They had a short one-night-honeymoon, staying with Ruby’s sister and brother-in-law. Being able to travel much then was almost impossible. The War effort took most supplies, including fuel and rubber for tires. A Short time later, Clifford enlisted for military service. They had a 6-month old baby girl (Wanda June) then and Clifford was stationed at Fort McClellan, Alabama. Ruby made the ride on a Greyhound bus with their infant daughter to see Clifford as a surprise.
Clifford spent 14 months in the U. S. Army 77th Infantry division, during which he spent time in Japan with the Occupational Forces.
Along came the children: Mary Lois, 1947; David Norman, 1948; Connie Sue, 1949; Doris Elaine, 1950; Angela Rose, 1952; Robert Neal, 1955; Martin Lynn, 1956; and Daniel Aaron, 1958.
Ruby spent many of her years raising the children, cooking for farm hands, mending clothes and other duties that a wife carried out in those times. To make ends meet, Ruby would can as many vegetables and fruits as possible, sometimes picking blackberries with babies in tow.
In the 1950s they ventured into dairy farming. When the children got older and were enrolled in school, Ruby went to work in a sewing factory before turning her attention to helping others. She began Nursing school and went on to work at Sunrise Manor Nursing home in Hodgenville for 12 years.
The couple did quite a bit of traveling over the years – smaller trips in the beginning with the children. In 1974, they began making bigger trips. Clifford built a motor home and traveled all over the country, they visited all 50 states including visits to Alaska and Hawaii.
