About Rubey Roach


Margaret’s mother, Rubey, lived in that house after she was born in 1903. Margaret interviewed her about the boarding house before she died in 1997, and donated a copy of the recording to the Chickasaw Historical Society. Her mother’s family may have been prosperous at one time—Rubey attended the prep school of the Oklahoma College for Women in Chickasha. But her mother was bilked out of her allotment and by the time Rubey married Diamond Roach, the couple had few assets except for their educations, and then their children, Lawanda born in the 1920s, Robert, in the 1930s, and Margaret in the 1940s.
