Rubye Lane Page 2
My mother, made this diary entry for Sunday, August 28 1927.
My mother was 12 years old at the time. The diary is for the summer of 1927, “The
Teenie Weenie Funny Book”, daily entries of the funniest thing that happened
that day. The entry reads:
Sun.- 28-We went over to aunt Mary’s. Mrs. Blackstock Ruby’s
Grandmother was there. Mrs. Blackstock said, “Ruby looks like you have more
color than you uster.” Ruby said, Grandmother I reckon I just got on a little
more rouge.” My usual color is white.” Everybody laughed. She sure was jolly.
Ha! Ha!
Aunt Mary is Mary Blackstock Lane, mother of Rubye. Rubye’s
father was my grandmother’s brother Robert Lane. Rubye graduated from nursing
school in Danville in 1927.
This picture from my mom’s album is labeled as “a nurse” and
“Rubye” and appears to be a graduation picture.
