Second In Series
Collector May Open Flea Market
Mrs. Ruby Cade’s hobby of
collecting has been a life-time
effort which has paid off
generously. She laughingly
said, “I have never thrown
away anything in my entire
life”. That perhaps is the main
reason why she and her
husband, John Burl Cade,
wanted the biggest house in the
whole area. A long search
led them to purchase an old
building in Sandia and now
there is ample room for all her
treasures.
Displayed throughout the
enormous house is a collection
of 3,000 bottles, a 30-bushel
collection of shells, numerous
primitives and antiques, 264
fruit jars, which date from
World War I, a collection of 150
records for her old crank
Victrola, a collection of 1000
whiskey decanters, a collection
of 350 insulators for telephone
cables, and a collection of 100
vases and cookie jars.
Mrs. Cade’s energetic
manner does not reveal that
she has been a victim of seven
heart attacks. Nevertheless,
she can hold her own with the
best of us.
So full of vim is she, she has
been trading through a
Houston Flea Market for the
past several months. (At the
corners of Alameda, Genoa
and Radio—stalls 71 and 72)
Mrs. Ruby Cade and some of her collectibles.
With the help of two of her
daughters, Mrs. Sue Coultee,
who resides in Houston and
Mrs. Bobby Smith of Corpus
Christi, who travels to Houston
weekly, she not only deals in
collectables, but also in used
clothing.
The Cades have two other
children. They are Patsy
Cunningham, who is operator-
manager of Lafayette Place in
Corpus Christi, and John Cade,
who is employed by Corpus
Christi Electric Co. They have
15 grandchildren and 13 great-
grandchildren and two more
are expected.
Mrs. Cade was the oldest of
four girls and was raised to be
accustomed to hard work. She
obtained her first job early in
her life and retired from the
work force in 1974.
She worked for 16 years at
Ted’s Food Store in Corpus
Christi and later she and her
husband owned and operated
(seven days a week) Cade’s
Drive Inn on Leopard for many
years.
Since retirement, she has
been able to devote much of her
time to antiques and her varied
collections. Her future plans
include celebrating a 5oth
Wedding Anniversary and
opening a weekend flea market
in her home in Sandia.
Mrs. Cade can point out
many itmes in her spacious
home which would bring
wonder to the hearts of many.
She almost tearfully said, ‘as
bad as I hated to see them go,
my collection of 3,000 bottles
has been sold.”
Ex-Federal Group Report Events
Things have been happening
so fast there has been.no time
to report them.
April 28, 29 and 30 a group of
National Association of Retired
Federal Employees attended
the State Convention in
Houston. Those attending as
delegates were: Dan and
Lorene Coker, A. C. and Helen
Dawson, John and Ann
Morgan, E. J. and Jerri
Roberts and Joe and Ann
Morgan. This was a business as
well as an educational trip and
some of the N.A.R.F.E.
members are looking forward
to attending the National
Convention in Albuquerque,
New Mexico in the Fall.
May 22, N.A.R.F.E.
combined its business meeting
with a picnic at the Pavalion in
the State Park. Approximately
25 attended. John and Martha
Cronk presided as president
and secretary in the absence of
Bill and Ruth Cox, who were
out of town due to a death in the
family.
John Smith had the
misfortune to fall and break a
leg. The Lagarto Rescue
Ambulance was summoned
and in less than 30 minutes, Mr.
Smith was enroute to Corpus
Christi to receive treatment.
(Incidentally, those people
with the Rescue Unit certainly
know how to handle the
injured.) N.A.R.F.E. members
were very greatful for the
prompt service rendered in the
emergency. Mathis Rescue

Bible Class Meets
THE MATHIS NEWS, Thursday, June5,1980
The Ladies Bible Class met
Thursday, at 9 a.m.
The lesson for the week was
on Hannah, whose prayer will
live forever.
She was one of the two wives
of Elkahah. Trouble, heartache
and confusion was always
involved when a man had two
or more wives, even in Bibical
times. Usually one wife could
bear children and the other
wife couldn’t.
Hannah went to the temple to
pour her heart to the Lord.
Praying fevemtly for a son and
Vowing, “Then will I give him
unto the Lord all the days of his
life”, Samuel was born and her
prayer was answered.” You
can read about her in I Samuel
1:1-21.
If God does not hear prayer,
then he has created a
miserable assemblage of
creatures and left them to
grope their way through a
puzzling and sometimes
wretched existence to a vain
and pitiful end.
God does hear those who
meet the conditions of
acceptable prayer. Christ
taught that the heavenly
Father gives blessings to his
children in response to prayer
which would not otherwise be
given (Matt. 7:7-11). To have
assurance that the Father
hears us, we must be a child of
God, obey his law, pray in
Jesus’ name, pray in faith,
have the right motive and be
forgiving.
Ten ladies attended the
study.
