My Parents, Ruben Paul Faus, and Julia Rose Hibbs, were born at Range, Beaver County Oklahoma: March 15 1904, and September 20, 1911, respectively.
Daddy, Youngest son of George Faus and Sarah Davis Faus, his mother died when he was one year old and he was raised by his sisters, Effie (Cox) and Ella (Buschman). He worked at the Hansford Headlight setting type as a youth and went to Old Hansford School. Mamma, oldest child of Robert and Lura Luke Hibbs, attended New Hope and Waka Schools. They were married February 28, 1930 and six children were born to this union; Rosa 1930, Harry 1932, Jaunita 1933, Bertha 1935, Ruby 1937 and Phyllis 1944. I, Ruby Joyce, was born at the old Dennis place in Spearman. We moved to Amarillo in 1941 and I attended the first four years of school at McKinnley and Pleasant Valley. We moved back to Spearman in 1948. I left school, before graduating, for marriage and did not return until 1966 when I had the opportunity to attend secretarial school in Woodland Hills, Ca., and, receive a high school diploma at that time. I worked as Sr. Clerk-Typist for L.A. County and UCLA. My children and I moved to California in 1965, we lived in Canoga Park for nine years and moved to Oregon in 1974 where I attended Pacific University for one semester. I am presently enrolled at PSU at Goodwell, Oklahoma and looking forward to a degree next year in Business Administration. My children are; Jo San (Williams) Metz, born September 14, 1954 at Perryton, Texas, graduated from Canoga Park High School in 1973 and is now a dental assistant. She and George Metz have one child "Little" Georgie, born January 18, 1975. Julie Anne Williams, born October 19, 1955 in Hobbs, N.M., graduated CPHS in 1974. She has two daughters, Jessica Jewlyn Williams born September 1, 1975 in Port-land, OR. and Paul Rea Williams born July 31, 1979 in Sayre, Okla. Dixie Lynn (Williams) Burch born September 30, 1959 at Odessa, Texas, graduated from Spearman High School in 1978. She and James have one daughter, Rachel Irene, born October 30, 1979 in Spearman. David Malcom Oakley, born June 21, 1962 in Perryton, is a junior in high school and works at Excel Chevrolet. Jaunita Sue Oakley, born December 5, 1964 in Canadian, is a freshman in high school and is living with her sister Julie in Sayre, Oklahoma. We moved to Spearman in September of 1977. I have worked at the Stationmaster's House Museum since that time as director and part-time at Martin's Steak Garden. We are members of the Baptist Church.
