Looking for information about my aunt Ruby Gerlene CARR (b:1897, TX). Ruby probably was
born at or near Stephenville, Huckabay, or Thurber, Erath County, TX. Her parents were
John Bennet CARR (b: 1871, AR) and Idella NORRIS (b: 1876,TX). Her parents lived in
Thurber, TX in 1901. Later Ruby lived in Stephenville, TX with her mother and brother,
Bill CARR, until about 1916. Ruby attended a Baptist church in Stephenville where she did
a Graduating Musical Recital in 1915 with Lena WILLIAMS assisted by Katie PICKARD. She
then married a RAY, maybe Dee Ray?? from Post, Garza Co, TX. She died at age 20 years
about two weeks after child birth in 1917/18 and was buried at Terrace Cemetery, site 463,
at Post, TX. I believe the baby died within a couple of years after birth.
