    Rube is obviously short for Reuben.  His grandson Bill Walker refers to the naem with this traditional spelling.

    "My great grandfather was William Walker Terry, I´m named after him. ... William Terry moved with the Wells family from Texas to Douglas AZ. ... There is a family grave yard outside of Douglas.  William Terry Sr [he means the original William Walker Terry, son of Nancy Connie and Lewis Terry] and my grandfather Reuben are both buried there."
    --  William W Terry, Jr, email to Orville Boyd Jenkins, 13 June 2013

    However, his name on the gravestone is spelled Rubuin, as one of th 1910 enumerations below.

    Reuben and the whole family were enumerated twice in 1910.  Besides the record from Cochise County in the southeast corner of the state, bordering Mexico and New Mexico, Ida and her children were also enumerated in the Gila County near the center of the state.  All the children and their ages match.  In the Gila County report Ida is the Head of the home, with no husband reported.  But she is reported as married for 13 years, not divorced as in the Cochise County report.

    Both enumerations took place on the same day.  This must mean some of the children, probably the older ones, were in one location, and Ida was in the other with the younger children.
