Bio
Farmer Huntington County, Indiana History and Families 1834-1993 page 350 Jonathon Ruble & Ruth (Ruse) Jonathon Ruble was born Nov. 9, 1816 in Clinton County, OH near Wilmington. He moved with his parents, Walter and Sara (Wright) Ruble to Randolph County, IN in 1824. He returned to Clinton County, OH to marry Ruth Ruse on April 28, 1842. Ruth was born Feb. 13, 1823 to Thomas and Margaret Ruse. In 1848 Jonathon and Ruth moved to Salamonie Twp., Huntington County, IN. They settled on a 100 acre farm one mile south of Plum Tree that they purchased from Hiriam Phillips for $220. It was a wilderness. One day when Jonathon went on an overnight trip to town for supplies, Ruth heard a terrible commotion outside. When she went to investigate, she found a big black bear trying to get into the rail pen to get their young calves. Jonathon's useful labors helped to broaden the scope of cultivated land in Section Nine and he developed it into the Glen Locust Farm. He was a man of influence and fine character. Ruth united early in life with the Friends Church. When they moved to Indiana, they became active in the Methodist Church at Plum Tree. The faith which they possessed, they carried into their daily activities and their home was not only noted for its hospitality to friends, but also for its kindnesses. They had 10 children and when Jonathon died on Jan. 20, 1872 at the age of 55, he still had three boys and three girls in the Foreman Grade School. It was just across the corner from his house. Their children were: Mary J. (married Levi Williamson), Aaron (married and moved to Jefferson Twp.), Sarah, Ladonna (Doni) (married Phillip Shafer), James W. (married Bertha Tharp and moved to 3364W. Shafer Road), and Thomas Allen (married and moved to the ole Beard farm one-half mile east of Warren; later is was part of the Jones farm),Emma moved to Indianapolis. The last few years of Ruth's life she spent in Aaron's home, where she died April 21, 1907 at the age of 84 years, two months and eight days.Funeral services were held at Plum Tree Methodist Church.
