Ruby Ellen "Pete" Melton
     Ruby Ellen "Pete" Melton was born on 13 June 1916.2 She was the daughter of Benjamin Adley "Jinks" Melton and Josie A. Hayes. Ruby Ellen "Pete" Melton died on 29 April 1987 at age 70.2
     Ruby Ellen "Pete" Melton was adopted. Ruby never married. She was 9 years old when her dad shot himself to death, and her mother died of asthma about 6 months later. Of the children's grief for their parents, Pete once said to me "Ene, we never went through that; I guess we just all knew that Mom loved us so much we were all right." A Registered Nurse for over 40 years. At Walgrove, Brent (her brother) once broke his leg when Mom was in town. Pete directed Jin (Virginia) and the two of them "set" the break. Pete was a rock for all of us. She and Jin were especially close.1,2
