Notes for JAMES WALTER RUBLE:

[Ruble.FTW]

History of Huntington County pages 654-655

James W. Ruble. In the annals of early settelment of Huntington county, one of the names which is first to be mentioned is that of the Ruble family, and it is of this family that James W. Ruble of Salamonie township is a prominent representative. For more than sixty-five years the nave has had its place in the history of Huntington county, and James W. Ruble is one of the older native sons of the county, and has been long identified with the industry of agriculture, a vocation which brings credit to its follower and helps to create the resources and wealth of the community. James W. Ruble is known far and wide as the proprietor of the Merry Hill Farm, a highly developed country estate of eighty acres, situated two and a quarter miles northeast of Warren.

James W. Ruble was born in Salamonie township at what is known as the Locust Glen farm, March 4, 1852, a son of Jonathan and Ruth (Ruse) Ruble. His father was a son of Walter and Sarah Ruble, and was born November 9, 1816, in Clinton county, Ohio. It was during his childhood that his parents left Ohio and settled in Randolph county, Indiana, where he grew to manhood, but subsequently returned to his native county, where on April 28, 1842, he married Ruth Ruse. She was a daughter of Thomas and Margaret Ruse, and was born February 13, 1823. A few years after his marriage Jonathan Ruble made a change of residence and established his home in 1848 in what was still the wilderness of Salamonie township of Huntington county. His useful labors helped to broaden the scope of cultiveated land in that section, and he was a man of influence and fine character. His death occured January 20, 1872. He and his wife were very active as Methodists in their community, and took a regular part in the activities of thwir home church. The faith which they possessed they carried into all their daily activities, and their home was noted ont only for its hospitality to friends but for the kindness which emanated from its doors and which made it a source of help and comfort to many who needed assistance in distress. There were ten children in the family, and four are yet living: Mary J. is the wife of Levi Williamson; Sarah L.E. is the wife of Philip Shafer of Salamonie township; Aaron Ruble lives in Jefferson township; and James W. is the youngest of the four still living.

His boyhood was spent in the wholesome environment of the country, and his education was acquired by attendance at the old fashioned district schools, a type of educational institutions which have long since gone out of vogue, and there are perhaps only one or two schoolhouses in the entire county which would bear any resemblance to the temple of learning which Mr. Ruble attended as a boy. After his education was finished and he had made a practical beginning of his career as a farmer, he married Berthena Tharp, a sister of Isaac M. Tharp. She was born in Wells county, Indiana. Of the six children of that marriage, four are still living, and their mother passed away July 25, 1888. The living children are: Alva D., a florist in Indianapolis; Charles, who is married and a farmer in Salamonie township; Mamie, wife of George Brown of Liberty Center, Indiana; Lucy, wife of Leonard Break of Adams county, Indiana. For his second marriage Mr. Ruble married Alice (Thrailkill) Day, widow of Richard Day. Mrs. Ruble was born in Liberty township of Wells county, August 23, 1862, grew up there, received her education in the common schools of her native township, and was a daughter of Silas Thrailkill, who was born in Clinton county, Ohio, august 5, 1834, and died July 15, 1901.

Mr. and Mrs. Ruble are active members of the Methodist Protestant church, of which he is one of the trustees and has long been one of its most liberal supporters. In politics a Republican, he has often used his influence in the party for the benefit of good government in the locality, and is a man whose opinion and advice are much courted in this part of Huntington county.

Notes for PHILIP HENRY SHAFER:

[Ruble.FTW]

Philip H. Shafer. Since he was sixteen years of age Philip H. Shafer has been a resident of Huntington county, and at that date began to assist his father in the clearing of a portion of the wilderness, and some of the land which his boyhood labors helped to develop is still in his possession. Having lived in Huntington county for helf a century, Mr. Shafer bears an unusual relation to the soil in this locality, and presents in his history elements of unusual interest. The difference in the condition of the land now from what it was when the Shafer family first settled here represents not only the achievements of its occupants in cultivating and improving it, but also the general progress of this region since civilization was first planted in it. Personally Mr. Shafer is regarded as one of Huntington county's ablest and most prosperous farmer citizens, and a man who has used his own success not selfishly, but to promote the welfare and progress of his community and has always taken a helpful part in bearing the burdens of his neighbors.

Butler county, Ohio, is the native home of Philip H. Shafer, and he was born three miles northwest of Middletown March 6, 1846. His parents were George E. and Margaret (Wolf) Shafer, who moved to Huntington county in 1863, locating in Salamonie township, where the father bought one hundred and sixty acres of land. That land was covered practically as to every acre by heavy wood, and the original price paid for it was one thousand dollars. The father with the aid of his boys, of whom Philip was the oldest, started in to hew down the trees, to grub the stumps, and clear off a space for cultivation of field crops. That was a tremendous undertaking, and would be yet today, and it is with a natural pride that Mr. Shafer now regards his possession of one hundred acres of the original quarter section, his own toil having assisted materially in the improvement of that place. The parents continued their residence on the old homstead until their death. The father was a devout member of the United Brethren church and one of the leaders in that denomination in Huntington county. There were six children in the family, five of whom are still living: Philip H.; Emily M., deceased; John W. Shafer, of Bulffton, Indiana; Mary A., wife of Jasper Jones of Warren; Sarah, who is unmarried and lives at Decatur, Indiana; and Jacob E. Shafer, of Salamonie township.

Philip H. Shafer when the family moved to Huntington county in 1863 was already at an age where he was ready to take up the serious responsibilities of life. His education had been acquired by attendance at the district schools of Butler county, Ohio, and the intervals had ben filled in by practical training in the work of farm and household. However, he continued his education by one term in Huntington county. When he was twenty years of age he started out to win his fortune, having no capital, and after working for two years was given a small piece of land by his father. His subsequent prosperity as been the result of his steady labor, economy, good business judgment, and from the generous reward which Indiana agriculture has paid to all its devotees during the last half century.

Mr. Shafer first married Mary J. Thompson, daughter of Ebenezer and Pamelia (Ware) Thompson, who were early settlers of Salamonie township. Mrs. Shafer lived as wife and mother for sixteen years, and in that time six children were born, three of whom are yet living, namely: George E. Shafer; Jennie A., wife of Charles F. Bonewitz, of Michigan; and Fannie A., wife of Perry Keller of Huntington. After the death of his first wife Mr. Shafer was married on June 23, 1884, to Sarah L. E. Ruble, who was born in Salamonie township August 29, 1862, a daughter of Jonathan and Ruth (Ruse) Ruble. To this marriage were born eight children, six of whom are living in 1914, namely: Mildred L., who graduated from the common schools and is now the wife of Webster J. Thompson; Ruth E., wife of Ernest Poling; Harry P., a graduate of the common schools and who married Dalta Garretson; Howard M., who finished a common school course and lives at home; Frances E. W., who has also finished her work in the common schools and is now at home; Weir L., who is thirteen years old and completed the grade school work in 1913.

The family attend worship in the Christian church at Buckeye, Indiana, and Mr. Shafer is very much interested in church affairs. Politically he was always a straight republican up to the campaign of 1912, when he accepted the principles and platform of the new party and voted as a progressive. His many years as a practical farmer has brought ample possessions, comprising four hundred and seventy acres of fine farm lands in Sections 14, 15, 22 and 23 in Salamonie township, situated three miles northeast of Warren on the Marion and Bluffton Pike. At the same time he has employed his prosperity to give his family all needed comforts and luxuries, and the choldren have all been well trained both at home and in school.

Shafer, Philip H. Huntington, Indiana

With his wife, who survives, he transferred his membership from the Buckeye congregation to the Warren Church of Christ, five years ago, under the preaching of Percy George Cross, and the ministry of E.E.

Winchester Man Dies in Crash on U.S. 27

Randolph county traffic fatalities jumped ahead of the entire total for 1956 over the weekend as a Winchester route 4 man was killed when a convertible he was driving skidded off the road north of Winchester late Saturday evening.

Forty-three-year-old Walter C. Ruble became the county's seventh traffic fatality, with the year not half over. Six persons were killed in county traffic mishaps last year.

Ruble was southbound on U.S. 27 about 10:45 o'clock Saturday evening when he apparently lost control of a 1956 model convertible which was owned by Duane French of Winchester. Ruble skidded across the highway into a large tree and then careened into a field landing about 50 feet from the highway.

Assistant county coroner Robert Elliott said Ruble died of extensive compound fractures of the skull. Ruble was rushed to the Randolph County hospital in Winchester but was dead on arrival. Officials believed that he may have been dilled instantly when he struck the tree.

The fatality was investigated by Sheriff Perry Jennings and Trooper Bill Rice of the state police. Ruble was alone at the time of the crash.

The accident happened about three miles north of Winchester on U.S. 27.

Ruble was a veteran of World War II. He was a native of Randolph county and the crash occurred about one mile from where he resided. He was a former employee at the Hardy Manufacturing Company in Union City and had been a used car salesman in Winchester and Union City at the time of his death.

He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Clossie Ruble of Winchester Route 4. His mother is the former Bertha Fisher. Surviving besides the parents, is a brother, Charles, of Muncie.

Funeral services for Mr. Ruble will be held at 2 p.m. Tuesday from the Maynard and Walker mortuary in Winchester. The casket will be closed. Rev. Zelma Mills will be in charge with interment in Woodlawn cemetery at Maxville. Friends may call at the mortuary.
