| Note | Howard O. ‘Nun’ Ruhlman had some conflict with his father, John Jacob Ruhlman II, of Niagara Falls, New York. He worked for a while on a ship on the Great Lakes and then joined the U.S. Army. He was stationed in Laredo, Texas at Fort McIntosh. There he met a lady of Spanish decent named Carlota ‘Lottie’ Dovalina. They were married in Laredo in 1929. Lottie’s great-grandfather? was a very honorable man. He was deeded a huge land grant by the Spanish government extending about 50 miles East and North of Laredo. At the end of each year he would 'settle up' to the merchants for all his debts for farm equipment, etc. On those occasions he would deed vast acreage to pay his debts for perhaps the equivalent of 10 cents per acre! (see notes about Capt. Don Jose Vasquez Borrego, Lottie’s Ancestor). Their son, son, Howard (Harold) tells the story of his father: 'Howard Sr. had a small business in Laredo. He delivered potato chips, pickled hot dogs, etc. to many bars and restaurants. One day, a big tough man in a bar called him an SOB. Howard Sr. laid his glasses and sales order forms on the bar and proceeded to punch the name caller in the face until he 'slid down the wall calling for mercy' ---'Now just stay on the floor until we leave. That’s where snakes belong!' Howard Sr. and his son Howard, proceeded to slowly and deliberately drink their orange drinks while their intruder still whimpered on the floor. 'Now if I ever see you again in the street, you cross the street to the other side when I come by --- that’s how I treat a snake' said Howard Sr. -- Howard Ruhlman, May, 1996 Howard’s daughter, Lee Ruhlman Terry had wonderful memories of her father at the Ruhlman Family Reunion in Redding, Shasta Co., California, July1995: 'My dad was Howard Ruhlman, the second oldest in John Ruhlman II family. He joined the U.S. Army and came to Texas via Galveston. Dad married my mother Carlota ‘Lottie’ Dovalina, a seventh generation Texan in 1929.He was very well known in Texas --- and was a friend to everyone. He was on the Laredo Police Force while I was growing up and everybody called him 'Sarge'. He was third in command when he left the police force to work for himself. He owned 'Atomic Sales' and sold potato chips, Roncomacaroni, etc. He owned a potato chip factory at one time and also owned the first bowling alley in Laredo. Dad was self-educated. He didn't speak Spanish when he married mom, but realized he needed it in business, so he taught himself and later spoke it fluently! I didn't realize how well known Dad was until I left Laredo. When we moved to Freeport, Brazonia Co., Texas, Bunny Gray (a BISD school board member) and I were visiting. When she heard I was from Laredo, she asked if I knew Howard Ruhlman. I said 'that’s my dad'. It seems he had come to Freeport when he was President of the Lulac’s League of the United Latin American Citizens. He started the 'Escuelitas' schools for underprivileged Latin children. He was the first Anglo President of that organization. Another time, my husband and I were at the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo with a group from La Grange. Sheriff Flournoy from La Grange who was made famous on the stage and screen in 'The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas' was sitting next to me. When he heard I was from Laredo, he asked 'Do you know Howard Ruhlman?' I said, 'That’s my Dad!' He had met Dad at Pistol Meets. Dad was a sharpshooter and traveled all over Texas and Mexico on a Pistol Team. Dad was a very happy man. He loved his family, loved to fish, golf, play cards, play dominos, play pool -- he excelled at everything he did. He converted to Catholicism and is buried in the Catholic cemetery in Laredo. There is a Ruhlman Drive in Laredo that my brother Howard and sister-in-law Julia have named in their Industrial Park. The Ruhlmans are also remembered in the brick paving at St. Augustine Cathedral were Mother and Daddy were married and my brother Howard and I were baptized and made our first communion. He was so proud of his sisters and brothers. Uncle Johnny, (John Jacob Ruhlman III) visited with us before he married Aunt Kathryn. Aunt Florence and Uncle Carl Wheeler made several visits to Laredo and so did Aunt Dorothy and Uncle George Moore. Also, Uncle Dick and Aunt Clara Riffle and Aunt Helen and Uncle Al Eisenhart visited us in Laredo. Aunt Grace Yaxley never came, but we heard from her often. I saw Grandpa Ruhlman (John Jacob Ruhlman II) once, and all I can remember is that he wanted to buy me some ice skates -- I said 'it never snows in Texas!' Uncle Johnny (John Jacob Ruhlman III) spoke at Dad’s funeral - it was like seeing a younger version of Dad. They were eleven years apart. --Same smile, same gestures -- and that’s what I find here at this wonderful Reunion! I see my children and grandchildren’s faces in my cousins and aunts! The Ruhlman blood lives on! It has been a privilege being here. I thank you for the opportunity to share a little part of my Dad’s life.' --- Lee Ruhlman Terry, July,1995. |
