Memories of my Aunt Ruby
By her nephew Richard Lee Gleason

Like most of my Ohio relatives it wasn’t often that I got to visit with my Aunt Ruby and her husband Charles. But I do recall the several times that my mother and I visited their home during our infrequent trips to Ohio. I loved going to Ohio. It was a real treat to visit with this branch of my family that I didn’t see as often as those in Pennsylvania.

Aunt Ruby and Charles had a fairly large two-story home with a basement in Canton, Ohio. It included a huge spacious backyard, and plenty of room for a young boy to play. Inside their home in the dining room hung a “paint by numbers” painting that my mother spent numerous hours creating. It was a recreation of Leonardo Divinci’s “Last Supper.” I’m sure my mother thought it especially appropriate for her church-going, Bible reading, Gospel preaching, Christian sister Ruby.

Uncle Charles was a devoted hunter and I’m sure, typical of most of the men in my extended family, spent many hours with his own sons enjoying the sport and outdoors. He owned a large gun collection. I liked Charles a lot as he was a good man who always treated me well and I envied him for the large family that he had.

Ruby and Charles’ life was not without tragedy. In the early 1960s their oldest son Chuck died in his thirties from cancer. Late in the same decade their youngest daughter, nineteen year old Cheryl, would be killed in an early morning New Years car accident on January 1, 1968. I don’t know the circumstances surrounding Charles’ death.

My Aunt Ruby late in her life suffered from Alzheimer’s disease. For several years she lived with her daughter Bertha Lee and eventually had to put in a nursing home, where I believe she lived a year or two before her death.3
