AMES 70th

Roy and Rubye Ames celebrated their 70th wedding anniversary with close friends and family.

The couple met and married near Fort Worth, Texas, on June 3, 1945. After Roy was discharged from the Army, he brought his bride back to Chewelah, Wash., where he had been born and raised.

Employment, church family and a bright future awaited them. Since that time, Roy has farmed and been employed at the local rock crushing plant and in Springdale, Wash., as the millwright.

Rubye enjoyed serving as a school teacher, nurse aide and medical secretary during her years of employment. They have been blessed with children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. At ages 87 and 95, they continue to live on their farm in the Valley, Wash., area as they have since 1963.
