• Notes

  Ruby Ione Smith Johnson was the eldest daughter of Judge John Tyson Smith and Nancy Melvina Skaggs. She was graduated from the University of Texas in 1907. She came to El Paso as a school teacher, where she met her husband at the First Baptist Church. Pascal was a widower with two daughters. Ruby raised those two daughters, her own daughter Charlotte, and a niece, Jane Wood. Ruby's second daughter died in delivery in 1925, and is buried at Evergreen Alameda with Ruby and Pascal, but the baby's headstone has been lost over time. After her husband's death in 1940, Ruby became a private tutor of pupils who needed help in reading and mathematics. She helped hundreds of students over more than forty years, retiring only when her eyesight failed after age 90. She lived until 1979 in the home her husband built for her when they were married.
