4. Rufus Attaway CRUMP, "Rufus Adam". (Rufus Jerome³,Hugh M.²,John¹) (6,7,8,9,10,11,13,15,16,17,18) Born on 12 Jan 1920 in Monroe, Union Co., N.C.(7,8,9,10,11,16,17) Resided at his family's home in Mathews, N.C., on 17 Apr 1936 at the time of his father's death.(6) Rufus A. left school after the sixth grade. He enrolled in the Civilian Conservation Corps in 1939, at which time he began using the name Rufus Adam (as he did throughout his life), and served in North Carolina as a cook. After his first six month's service, Rufus left and worked as a newspaper salesman until re-enrolling for further service in his home state. During his service he was several times disciplined for being AWOL. In his third term, he was sent to a camp in Oregon, where he continued this behavior. The final absence, lasting about a week, coincided with his discharge in 1941, though no punishment was brought. His reason for leaving was that he had accepted other work in the logging industry.(19)
   Rufus A.'s daughter, Lottie Mae, recalls being told that it was at this time he met her mother, Mary Ruth VINCENT,(9,10,13,15,16,20,21,22) daughter of Charles M. VINCENT, also engaged in the logging industry in Oregon, & Paz Silvas.
    Rufus A. and Mary Ruth, who was born on 4 July 1921, prob. in Coquille, Coos Co., Oregon,(13,16,20,21,22) were married on 10 May 1941 in Coquille,(10,13,16) where they were both living. At this time, Rufus was employed as a mill worker at A.C. Maddock in Myrtle Point, Oregon.(10) In 1942, the couple were in Monroe, N.C., where Mary Ruth submitted her Social Security name change application,(20) but had settled back in Coquille before the birth of their son, Rufus Frank, in 1945.(23) The family must have done pretty well in the logging business, as evidenced by the recollection of Lottie Mae that their family was the first in the area to own a television set, and the large number of properties they came to own along the Oregon coast. At one point, Rufus A. also drove a school bus.
    Eventually, Rufus A. became a Pentecostal preacher,and from his home in Coquille, he ran the Victory Tabernacle church, affiliated with the Pentecostal Church of God. One of the first memories of D.R. EVARTS, son of Lottie Mae and grandchild of Rufus A. and Mary Ruth, is that of playing in some berry bushes outside of a house in Coquille. Another was hearing his mother's side of the phone call informing her of her father's death.
    Rufus A. died in Salem, Marion Co., Oregon on 9 Mar 1981. While changing a tire on his truck on the side of the Interstate, he was struck by a drunk driver and died from the injuries he received. He was buried on 13 Mar in Fox Bridge Cemetery, Lee Valley, Coos Co., Oregon.
    After her husband's death, Mary Ruth moved to one of their homes in Florence, Lane Co., Oregon, where she spent the remainder of her life with her chihuahua, crocheting and grandfather clocks. She died on 14 May 1994 in Eugene, Lane Co., Oregon, and was buried alongside her husband in Fox Bridge Cemetery on 18 May.
