PROVIDED A LOVING AND EFFICIENT HOME FOR HER HUSBAND, JOHN GRUBB, AS HE TOILED IN THE COAL MINES WHICH PROVIDED OUR NATION WITH COAL NECESSARY FOR THE WAR EFFORT. SHE GREW AND CANNED MUCH OF THEIR FOOD, SEWED CLOTHING, AND ECONOMIZED IN ORDER TO COMPLY WITH THE NEED TO RATION GOODS FOR THE DURATION. WITHOUT HER UNFAILING SUPPORT, HE WOULD NOT HAVE BEEN ABLE TO WORK SO DILIGENTLY IN THE SERVICE OF OUR NATION AS A CIVILIAN WORKER.
