Mrs. Ruble had been in failing health for the past two years. For the last few weeks her family and friends had realized that the end was near. Death was due to internal cancer. Susan A. Ruble was born on a farm in Pleasant Valley, Jo Daviess county, Illinois, on December 16, 1845. She was one of a large family of boys and girls. Her mother died when she was nine years of age, and the care of the family was left to an elder sister, who brought them up well. In 1861, when the war broke out, her three elder brothers joined the army and marched south. Two of them found graves on southern battlefields. The other died a few years after the war. Susan, being a strong, healthy girl, was her father's mainstay on the farm. While still a girl, she was converted and joined the Methodist church at Willow, Ill. On November 27, 1867, she was married to John C. Ruble, and they settled on a farm in Illinois, where they lived for eleven years and then came to Plymouth county, making the trip across the state of Iowa in a prairie schooner. They located twelve miles west of LeMars, at where is now Ruble, and that has been their home since, with the exception of short periods when they lived in Akron and LeMars. Mrs. Ruble always enjoyed the farm and did not like town, where she decided there was not enough work to do. She worked through the grasshopper days when crops failed and times were hard. She was always cheerful and happy and made the best of things. In early days when there were no churches, she always had a room and a place at the table for the ministers when they came out to preach in the nearby school house. She was generous, hospitable and charitable and was never known to turn a tramp from here door without giving him something to eat. Only ten days ago, when she was not able to get out of bed, a tramp came at the door. She asked her husband who was there. He replied: "Only a tramp, I guess." She asked if he gave the tramp anything to eat, and he said no. Mrs. Ruble said: "You bet, if had been there he would not have gone away hungry, poor man." Mrs. Ruble enjoyed the best of health until two years ago. At that time, worried at her increasing weight, she decided to take something to reduce it, and ever since has been in failing health. For the past few months she realized that she was going to die and faced the inevitable with calmness, and resignation, and thanked the Savior for the long, happy life she had enjoyed. She was a noble Christian woman with many friends. Her kindly neighborly acts and friendly disposition will dwell in the memories of her family and those who knew her. She leaves to mourn her death her devoted husband, J.C. Ruble, one daughter, Mrs. Sam Maben, of Westphalia, Kansas, and one son, John W. Ruble, on the home farm, and seven grandchildren. She is also mourned by a brother and three sisters, John W. Ruble, of Armstrong, Iowa; Mrs. Henry Ruble, of Drumsville, Mrs. N.A. Gill of LeMars, and Mrs. Jane Lutz of Mostrider, Ohio. The funeral will be held on Friday afternoon at the home at half past one, and at the Methodist church at two o'clock.
