John W Ruble was a cabinet maker by trade and said he could make anything out of wood, iron or leather. He was also a veterinarian. Some of the veterinary tools he made and used and a few pieces of furniture that he made are treasured keepsakes of his decendants.

When catherine died in 1858, John soon went looking for another wife. He found a willing candidate "Mary (Molly) Hughes." It is said that her answer was "When?" to his proposal of marriage. It may be added that at that time she was considered an "old maid."
