On September 16, 1925, Ruby Mabry was appointed as a clerk in the Ordnance Department at the Augusta Arsenal, Augusta, Georgia. She served in this capacity and later as Secretary to the Commander and Public Information Officer for over 29 years.

As part of her job duties as Public Information Officer, Ruby M. Pfadenhauer served as Historian and Special Writer of Augusta Arsenal. She reviewed all files of incoming and outgoing correspondence, reports, etc. and made decisions as to the importance of contents with respect to their incorporation into historical and statistical reports as well as to their retention in the permanent historical records. The arsenal records she preserved date from its establishment in 1816 to its closure in March, 1955. Mrs. Pfadenhauer used this documentation and additional research on the history of the arsenal in preparation for writing her histories.

This particular cache of papers was donated by Mr. Herman Pfadenhauer in the summer of 2003 when he moved to South Carolina. This finding Aid was compiled by Jillian C Rumbaugh.
