Carl Paul Ruby (1905 - 1983) spent his early years on the homestead his birth Father Carl Benjamin "Ben" Ruby (1877-1910) and his Uncle Richard Frederick "Fred" (1884-1955) built; it was a one-room sod house for Ben and his Wife Adele (born Schmale) Ruby (1878-1954) and their six children--Fred, Anna, Carl, Paul, Frank, and Bill.
Carl's birth Father Ben was killed in a coal mine near the homestead, and a couple of years later his birth Mother Adele married Ben's brother Fred, who raised Bill and his brothers and sister as his own.
Carl's Uncle Fred and his birth Mother Adele couple gave birth to six more children--Chris, Richard, Rose, Ruth, Emma, and May, all born in that sod house except May. Another baby, Adele, was stillborn and is laid to rest in the Ruby Family Cemetery next to Ben's grave.
Carl married Ruth Suzanna (born Anderson) Ruby (1906 - 1991) on October 8, 1938.
