PULLIAM-NEVERS WEDDING IN PIEDMONT

One of the interesting weddings of the past week was that of Mrs Belle Nevers and Roy Pulliam, both of this city, the ceremony having taken place last Tuesday evening at the home of the bride's sister Mrs. G Abbott in Piedmont in the presence of about 40 friends and relatives.

The bride, who was given into the keeping of the groom by her brother, Lawrence Brackett of this city, wore a handsome gown of coral brocaded velvet caught at the side with pearls, while further trimming was of ostrich feathers. She carried a bouquet of rosebuds.

Mrs W. J. Simpson of this city, who served as matron of honor, was beautifully gowned in a blue brocaded velvet with trimmings of silver. She carried a bouquet of Columbia roses.

F. Lyons of San Francisco served as best man.

The beautiful home was attractively decorated with baskets of roses and gladioli in the shades of pink. Immediately following the wedding a dinner was served three large tables seating the guests.

Caught On Fire Out At Sea

The Steamer "Michigan" Arrives in Port with a Hot Cargo

A Lively Race for the River

Considerable excitement was created in this city early yesterday morning when a dispatch was received from Ft Canby announcing that the steam schooner Michigan was coming in on fire. E. A. Noyes, agent of the Union Pacific Company which owns the vessel, at once dispatched tug boats to meet the incoming steamer. The boats picked the distressed vessel up at the mouth of the river, but Captain S. F. Graves, who was in command of the Michigan, said that all he required was for the tugs to stand by. He reported that his vessel was afire in the forehold and had been burning for several hours. He had the hatches all battened down and the fire smothered in such away that he could make port and turn her over to the agents and underwriters. The tugs stood by and escorted the vessel up the river.

The scene was an exciting one. Wild reportsliad proceeded the arrival of the Michigan, and hundreds flocked to the wharves to see -the burning vessel come up. The crowd was disappointed for save for puffs of smoke issuing from the seams at the bow, through the forward hatch and through the dead light holes of the freight deck, no fire was visible.

The vessel came up the river at full speed, and by 12 o'clock had a line ashore at the Union Pacific dock. The few passengers on board were landed, and then the underwriters' agent, Chief Stockton of the fire department, and others, together with the Union Pacific representatives, went on board. A consultation followed, and the result was that it was decided to scuttle the vessel forward, or rather to sink her by the bow and thus smother the flames. Lines were run out, and with the aid of a tug the vessel was Warped around into a position between the west end of the Union Pacific wharf and the old sturgeon wharf.

No. 1 and No. 2 engines were called out, but considerable delay was occasioned by the fact that the burning vessel was stuck in the mud, and the tugs made an effort to tow her off. This, it was found, could not be done, so orders were given and two lines of hose from each engine were put on board and the work of flooding the steamer commenced.

The hose was put down through the hatch and as the first stream of water struck the fire, a mass of thick black smoke accompanied by a strong odor of burning fish was wafted to the wharf. Throughout the afternoon the engines pumped water into the hold.

It was a veritable volcano. The fire was confined among 500 barrels of lime and 2,300 cases of salmon, with a lot of coal on one side to help it out The combined efforts- of the local engine companies told on the fire after several hours and at 7 o'clock last evening the fire was out.

The damage could not be estimated last night but it will amount to probably 15,000. The vessel is considerably damaged, and of the cargo, the 2,300 cases of salmon, which belonged to Morgan & Sherman, are almost a total loss. The fish was insured for its full value, about $9,000. The lime, to which the origin of the fire is attributed, is also a total loss, but outside of this and the damage to the ship the loss is comparatively small.

Captain Graves, master of the Michigan, stated that the fire was discovered about 2 o'clock yesterday morning when the vessel was about fifty miles off the entrance to Gray's Harbor. The hatches were at once battened down and all the ventilators turned. It was intended to kill the fire at once and the entire crew were summoned. The first attempt showed that this would be impossible, with the appliances at hand so the hatches were battened down again, the course laid direct for the Columbia river and the engineer told to open her wide. This was done, and the little steamer came along at a rate of speed she had seldom attained. The few passeugers were somewhat "frightened but they put their trust in Captain Graves and he saw them through. At first they insisted on the vessel being beached at once, but the skipper preferred to stay by his ship and get her into a place where if it was necessary to scuttle her he could find her again. Seeing he was determined, the passengers withdrew their objections, and the Michigan arrived here as state.

With the exception of the salmon, the lime and other cargo is destined to Portland.

608 From the Neodesha Register 11 Feb 1898:

Then and Now.

Tbe Citizen's '"Twenty-two Years Ago," column is to a few old cranks the most interesting part of the paper. We note in that portion of it chronicling Neodesha News, that "Ex-squire Rue is numbered with the new converts of tbe M. E. church", and that "The revival at the Methodist church has led to the conversion of about forty persons." What reminiscences are awakened in the minds of the old settlers when he sees the name of "Squire Rue." the fiery, redheaded giant, to whom every one gave the full half of the road. He settled on the place now owned by N. M. Tanquary, about 1868 and lived there until he sold out in 1881 to Mr. Tanquary. He went from here to California, and some time afterward took his departure from this world. He was a big grenerous man of fiery temper who feared nothing.

613 From the Rock Island Argus and Daily Union:

The Late Murder

Below we give the coroner’s verdict in regard to the murder of Henry Earley, at the Moline and Rock Island house. It was supposed the Earley was sleeping at the time he received the fatal shot, as he was found in an inclined position, his head resting upon a chair, and feet elevated upon another. His pockets were turned inside out, which led to the belief that he was murdered for money. Drs Truesdale and Knox held a post mortem examination and extracted the ball from Earley’s head. The jury returned the following verdict:

“That said Henry Earley, deceased, came to his death from firearms in the hands of some person to us unknown, and from the best of our knowledge and belief, do declare the killing of said Henry Earley to be an act of willful murder” 
EARLEY, Henry (I4648)

Byrne-Olmstead Wedding at Noon Today

The bride wore a gown of navy crepe meteor, and carried flowers.

620 From the Santa Cruz Sentinel, 3 Jan 1890:

A WOMAN'S DOWNFALL.

Mrs. Maggie Pray In Court Charged With Vagrancy.

Mrs. Maggie Pray, a confirmed "hypo" fiend and common drunk, was arraigned before Justice Pfister Tuesday afternoon on a charge of vagrancy preferred by Office Everhart. Mrs. Pray had been without her usual dose for several days, and presented a pitiable appearance. She was trembling in every limb and hardly able to stand on account or extreme weakness. Her mother was with her, the poor woman appearing almost brokenhearted.

When asked to plead Mrs. Pray burst into tears and stated that she had been sick on the night in question, and arising, had gone up town to procure medicine. Becoming tired and sick she had sat down in a stairway and had been there but a few moments when tho proprietor called a policeman and had her arrested.

"How many times have you been before me?"

"This is the first time"

"You forfeited $5 twice for drunkenness, did you not, and have been taken up in San Francisco several times?"

Mrs. Pray admitted that she had been arrested as stated, but being I almost unable to walk nn account of rheumatism in her limbs, she was often thought to be drunk when, in fact, she had not imbibed anything. A plea of not guilty was entered and trial set for Januarv 3d at 3 p. m. Her mother promised to keen her off the streets until that time, and she was discharged with that understanding. -- San Jose Mercury

623 From the SF Examiner, 18 Jul 1889:

RUINED BY MORPHINE

A Once Beautiful Woman Found Lying in the Street

HER PATHETIC STORY.

She Spends Her Last Cent for Whisky and Begs for a Bed.

"Help! I'm poisoned"

It was 1 o'clock yesterday morning when Officer L. M. Benjamin heard the faint cry issuing from a little alley leading off McAllister street. Peering into the darkness he saw a frail little woman huddled close in the shadow of the building, She was in a helpless condition and moaned pitifully as he picked her up and carried her into the light.

She was elegantly attired in a gray walking-dress and wrap. A wealth of flaxen hair hung in disorder down her back. Her blue eyes were half closed and her face as pale as death.

The officers placed her in a cab and carried her to the City Receiving Hospital. On the way she told in a half-dazed way that she lived in San Jose. She had come to San Francisco for a purpose, and had taken ergot to accomplish it.

At the hospital she gave the name of Mary Brown. There was no odor noticeable of the pungent drug which she said she had taken, and upon again being questioned she said she had taken morphine and whisky. She was treated accordingly, and at 6 o'clock in the morning left the hospital with the matron to go to the Grand Hotel, where she said she was stopping.

PENNILESS AND HOMELESS.

On the way she said that her name was not Mary Brown, but that she had assumed it to hide her identity; that her family name was Riddell, and that her mother resided in San Jose; that she had been married to a man named Wainwrght. who was at present in Paris, but that her name was now Mrs. Pray.

At the hotel it was learned that she had arrived Tuesday afternoon and registered as Mrs. C. D. Bancroft. She was given a room and immediately ordered a bottle of wine. She left there late in the afternoon and had not been seen afterward.

When she presented herself at the hotel yesterday morning with the matron of the hospital she was refused a room,as she had no money. She opened her trunk in search of same, disclosing an elegant wardrobe and two empty whisky bottles. She then left the hotel.

Inquiry developed the fact that she was once a noted belle of San Francisco. Her parents were wealthy, and she, being an only child, enjoyed every advantage that money could procure. She drove about town in an elegant pony phaeton, her exquisite beauty attracting many admirers. About five years ago she was married to Fred. Pray, the photographer. For a time they lived happily together, but she had acquired a taste for liquor, which soon became uncontrollable. Her first offenses were condoned, but she became so additted to its use that her husband was compelled to separate from her.

HER LOVE FOR LIQUOR.

She afterward suffered from paralysis, and to alleviate her sufferings used hypodermic injections of morphine. It was but a short time before she was a confirmed morphine fiend, uing large quantities of the opiate. Since the separation from her husband, some two years ago, she has frequently visited San Francisco, and, free Irom the restraint of her parents, indulged in liquor and morphine until at times she has been on the verge of insanity.

Time and again has her mother scoured San Francisco in search of her unfortunate daughter and taken her to her elegant home in San Jose.

Long and patient have been her endeavors to wean the daughter from her devouring appetite lor liquor, and each time just when she hoped that her efforts were to meet with success has the daughter fallen.

Yesterday she wandered about the streets all day, hungry, tired, penniless and friendless. In the evening she went from one hotel to another in search of a bed, but always receiving the same reply, " We have none for you."

In her desperation she at last offered her only possession, a tiny silver hypodermic syringe, the instrument of her ruin, to which she had clung to the last, for a place to lay her head. 
RIDDELL, Margaret (I5460)
 
624 From the SF Examiner, 19 Sep 1889:

Mrs. Pray Deaf to Her Husband's Prayers Decrees and Alimony.
"In the name of all that is good and holy I have begged my wife to quit drinking," said Fred H. Pray to Judge Levy yesterday morning. "It was no use, though, for she was confirmed in the habit, and her excesses have driven us to ruin, financially and every other way."
Mrs. Maggie Pray, the woman accused, made no denial. She was arrested at the Grand Hotel a month aco for being intoxicated. It was disclosed to the court that Mrs. Pray is also addicted to the morphine habit, and a divorce was granted to her husband on tbe ground of intemperance.

Three years earlier, this strange item from the SF Examiner, 22 Nov 1886:

LOOK ON THIS PICTURE.

A Negative Photographer Twice Married but Not Mated.

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN-ON AND after this date I will not be responsible for any debts contracted by my wife. FRED H. PRAY.

San Francisco, November 17, 1886.

In order to ascertain the hidden meaning of this public avowal, an Examiner reporter yesterday called on Mrs. Redell, mother of Mrs. Pray. Said Mrs. Redell: " Well. I will not say anything about it, but I think a piece ought to be put in the papers, stating that he was not good for his own debts, even. Yes; the remnants of his photograph gallery have been sold at auction; he owed General Keyes about $1,500 rent; instead of supporting my daughter, she has had to pawn her jewelry and other effects for them to live on; some of her trunks are now at the Donohoe House, some at a lodging-house on Sutter street, and he owes other bills at hotels where they stopped as long as he could get credit. While they lived in Oakland, their gas bill was shut off twice, and he owes the butcher and the druggist.

Well, he left her about three weeks ago when his gallery was closed, and is traveling round the country, camping out. My daughter, Mrs. Pray, heard he was at Congress Springs, and so she and a lady friend went down there to see him. I would not go with her, because I think Mr. Wainright is the proper husband for her. Mr. Wainright was her first husband. He is from Pittsburg, Pa., and is quite wealthy. They came here several years ago; I lived at Gilroy you know. Mr. Wainright,
his initials are J. G., got a divorce from my daughter and went East keeping the decree in his pocket, not recording it in order, I suppose, to keep my daughter from marrying. But she married this man Pray. Then, when Wainright returned, he recorded the divorce, and so the marriage was celebrated over again, she being twice married to Mr. Pray. We thought her first marriage to him was not legal because the divorce had not been recorded. No; I do not know whether there is another woman in the scene or not. I cannot imagine what Pray did with his money -- he did not properly support my daughter, and it is not likely any one will credit him, so there is no danger of her running up bills in his name."

625 From the Sidewalk Companion to Santa Cruz:

Walter Graves Byrne (1891 - 1949). Walter Graves Byrne was born in San Francisco, the son of George Griffin Byrne and Helen Graves Byrne. Approximately three years later, the Byrne family, formerly of Jackson, Michigan, settled in Santa Cruz.

Walter Byrne attended the University of California, Berkeley, when the Craftsman aesthetic was prevalent there, graduating in the class of 1914. While a student, he did drafting work for Julia Morgan and John Galen Howard. The Craftsman preference for simplicity, a preference which allows material to become important as design elements, is evident in the buildings in Santa Cruz which can be assigned to him: The Walter Charles Byrne house, 1912, and his own home, 1919.

On returning to Santa Cruz, Byrne found that there were not enough commissions available to support him as an architect. Consequently, he became a teacher of mathematics and mechanical drawing at Santa Cruz High School in 1918. During the years 1921 to 1923, he was a junior partner of architect Allen C. Collins. Their office was located in the New Santa Cruz Theatre Building at the northwest corner of Pacific and Walnut Avenues.

In 1923, Byrne moved to Los Angeles, where he associated with the firm of Ross Montgomery and that of John C. Austin, architect of Los Angeles City Hall, Shrine Auditorium, and the Griffith Park Observatory. Byrne's most important project was the California State Building in the Los Angeles Civic Center. Byrne left Southern California for Oakland in 1942 and worked for Kaiser Industries during the war. He was afterwards employed by John J. Donovan, architect of Oakland Technical High School, the Ina Coolbirth Library, also in Oakland, and a consulting architect for the San Francisco - Oakland Bay Bridge. At the time Byrne also designed an addition to the building which housed Oakland's Little Sisters of the Poor. He continued to practice until three years before his death in 1949.


Also:

Designed home for Walter Charles Byrne and Mabel Drennan Byrne family at 332 Union Street, Santa Cruz (originally 28 Union Street). Family lore had it that this was a project while he was studying architecture at UC Berkeley, which would fit with his having graduated in 1914 and the home was built in 1912.

627 From the “Los Angeles Times” 30 Apr 2015:

Adams' works go to Huntington

The Huntington Library, Art Collections and Botanical Gardens in San Marino has acquired a series of limited-edition Ansel Adams photographic works seven portfolios containing 90 images from throughout his career, representing what he once described as "an excellent cross section of my work."

The California photographer helped to define 20th century landscape photography with his elegant black-and-white portraits of the American West: the geologic face of Yosemite's Half Dome, the stark beauty of his New Mexican churches, the cotton-y forms of billowing clouds floating over scrub-covered hills.

The portfolios were a gift of George Melvin Byrne and Barbara S. Barrett-Byrne. George Byrne, a doctor and amateur photographer, had acquired the portfolios from Adams after becoming acquainted with the artist via one of his photography workshops in Yosemite. Huntington photography curator Jennifer Watts reports that the portfolios were in storage for decades.

Particularly striking are L.A.-area images, such as an image of a cemetery angel surrounded by oil derricks in Long Beach a surreal image of industry and beauty.

Separately, the Huntington announced it also had acquired two 1936 paintings, "Burlesque" by Milton Avery and "Irises (The Sentinels)" by Helen Lundeberg, as well as a sculpture by Sargent Claude Johnson.

629 From Valentines in America

Hempstead was originally one of the largest towns in territory on the Island, extending from the Sound on the north to the Atlantic on the south, and from Oyster Bay on the east to Jamaica on the west. The first division of land among the sixty-six proprietors of the town took place in 1647, hardly a quarter of a century after the Pilgrims at Plymouth, and the ad- vent of the Dutch in New York. Among these was

RICHARD VALENTINE,

then probably a young man of twenty-five or thirty years of age, but whether married or single I have no means of knowing. He was of English origin, and, from the fact that some of the company came from that section, as well as the identity of name, it is not at all improbable that he was a lineal descendant of Richard Valentine of the parish of Eccles in Lancastershire, the undoubted ancestor of the New England Valentines, more fully mentioned in another chapter— which, if my conjectures are correct, would seem to prove that these two great branches have one common origin.

Of this first American Valentine, but little is known, for the public and private records of those days were but imperfectly kept. He must have been married soon after immigrating if not before, for, in 1685, he had four sons, and perhaps more, who were freeholders. In a tax laid that year, Widow Richard Valentine is assessed for 40 acres, Obadiah, 44, William, 40, Ephraim, 40, and Richard (Jr.), 71 acres. Besides these. I find from the N. Y. Calendar of Hist. MSS., that in Feb., 1679, Jonah Valentine of Hempstead petitioned the Governor for a grant of 100 acres of land. Moreover, I find from the same source that in 1679 Richard Valentine (Jr.), "one of the Hempstead rioters," asks to be exempted from punishment "on account of his youth and ignorance." As mention is made of Richard Valentine (Sen.), in 1682, and of his widow in 1785, it seems clear that he must have died between those years, leaving at least five sons, and several daughters. There is a tradition in the family that the farm of the original Richard contained 600 acres — which probably included some "out-lots" or wild lands, as well as the homesteads named in the foregoing list.

But if the young Richard came to grief from his " sky-larking " propensities, his paternal ancestor could hardly reprove him, for he, too, had his own troubles. In the "Colonial History of the Slate of New York," Vol. II., Page 728, I find that "the Marshal of the town of Hemstede, Richard Valentyn by name," is complained of before the [Dutch] Governor- General and Council of New Netherlands, July 7, 1674, for refusing to put in execution a judgment against one Jeremy Wood, and " for uttering these seditious words: ' Is it in the name of the King of England? for I will do nothing in the name of the Prince or of the States of Holland,' " &c. True to his English origin, the Marshal found the Dutch Government a galling yoke to bear. It would seem, however, that neither father nor son received any severe punishment, or some mention would have been made of it.

In the stirring events of that period, the Valentines appear to have taken an active part. Thus, in 1702, Richard Valentine was one of the Grand Jury raised especial!}- to indict Samuel Bownes, an itinerant Quaker preacher who came to that region ; but instead of doing so, the jury endorsed the paper “Ignoramus" and returned it to the Judge, utterly refusing to have anything to do with such dirty work. Many of Richard's posterity afterwards became " Friends " them- selves, and some remain such to this day.

In 1726, Obadiah Valentine was one of a committee to put a stop to the " wicked and wanton burning of Hempstede Plains."

Of this family of Richard Valentine and his five sons, there is not, so far as I can learn, any continuous and authentic genealogy in existence; but it is certain that nearly all the Valentines of Long Island, except those in the city of Brooklyn (and even many in that city also), have descended from these. The family name soon extended to adjoining towns, especially to Oyster Bay, Jamaica and Flushing, until finally it was common in every town in Queens County, and was occasionally found in the other counties of Long Island, Kings and Suffolk. 
VALENTINE, Richard (I1224)
 
630 From Valentines in America:

David Valentine, of Hempstead, L.I., was born in May, l689, and married, about 1716, Charity, daughter of Nathan and Rachel Coles, of Musketo-cove (now Glen Cove, L. I.). Charity was born Sept. 1, 1695. Shortly after marriage he must have removed to Glen Cove to live, as on the 11th of March, 1719-20, he bought of his father-in-law property described as follows : "All that certain messuage or homestead where I ye said Nathan Coles now dwelleth in Musketo-cove," &c., paying therefore 500 pounds. This place has never passed out of the family, being now in possession of the daughters of the late Ellwood Valentine. The will of David bears date Oct. 6, 1743. In it he mentions "daughter Sarah when she shall be 21," his wife Charity, and son Jacob ; also granddaughter " Phebe Coles;" They had one son and four daughters.

631 From Warren County Ohio Obituary (believe it is Western Star, May 28, 1908):

Suddenly the Summons Came

Lafayette S. Rue Killed by a Fall From a Tree

Prominent Citizen and Retired Farmer Meets Death In His Own Door Yard Last Sunday Afternoon

Death came quickly to Mr. L.S. Rue, a prominent retired farmer, at his home just south of town last Sunday afternoon. His son, Mr. P.H. Rue and his family, were spending the day at the old home as was their frequent custom, when the bees which are hived in the barn-yard swarmed and alighted on a bough of a tree standing near the house. Mr. L.S. Rue noticed the bees and against the protest of his son insisted upon climbing the tree and removing the bough. A ladder was procured and set up in the tree, Mr. P.H. Rue steadying it while his father ascended. In clutching the limb Mr. Rue lost his balance and slipped from the ladder. He held the bough and his son called to him asking if he could hold on while he shifted the ladder. He replied "Yes, for a minute." Those were his last words as the bough gave way and he fell to the ground, a distance of fifteen feet. He struck the ground full length and with a gasp expired, evidently killed by the shock which stopped his heart.

Dr. H. J. Death (sp?!) was summoned at once but his family realized that nothing more could be done. Mr. Rue had led a long and active life, he was always industrious and his death came almost as he might have wished it, swiftly and suddenly even while he was at work. To have lain for months with a broken and bruised body would have been a sore trial to a man of his temperament.

He was a prominent member of the Franklin Farmer's Club, and enthusiastic member of the Men's Club of Franklin, Vice President of the recently organized Citizen's Bank, of Miamisburg and a stockholder in one of Lebanon's leading banks.

The funeral was held from the late home yesterday afternoon at 2 o'clock and was largely attended. The services were conducted by Dr. B.F. Clayton, a former neighbor and personal friend of the deceased. The burial took place in Woodhill cemetery.

Lafayette Schenck Rue, son of Theodorus C and Sarah Ann Rue, was born September 8, 1829, and died May 24th, 1908, being nearly seventy-nine years of age.

There were two brothers, Garrett C and William J. Rue, and one sister, Maria Brininger, all of whom he survived.

He was married to Mary Ann Pugh, on August 27th, 1856, and this union ended with her death on October 29th, 1907. There was born to them three sons and three daughters, two of the former and one of the latter having died in early childhood, and there being still living two daughters, Minnie and May Rue, and one son, Perry H. Rue. He leaves also three grandchildren, being Mary C., Allen P. and Milton C. Rue, children of his surviving son.

The birthplace of the deceased was at the farm known as the "Ben Morgan" farm, in Butler County, Ohio, and his early life was spent in that locality. His only opportunity for education was a few short terms at the country school, and his learning there was of the most elementary kind. His vocation was that of a farmer, until about the year 1869, when he became an extensive manufacturer of drain tile, his first factory being located on the farm now owned by Mr. John S. Stoutenborough, about one mile south of Franklin, Ohio, at which place he resided from about the time of his marriage, until the year 1881, when he moved to the property formerly known as the "Hugh Death" homestead, and resided there until the time of his death. He there continued the business of manufacturing tile until about the year 1886, when he resumed farming for a few years and then retired from active labor.

632 From Warren County Ohio Obituary for Perry H. Rue:

P.H. Rue Funeral

The funeral services for the late P.H. Rue Franklin attorney who died last week suddenly at his office were held at the home at Franklin Thursday afternoon. Many from Lebanon, including members of the Bar attended the services as a mark of tribute to his memory.

Perry H. Rue was a graduate of the Franklin high school, being a member of the class of 1877. For many years he has been a respected member of the Warren County Bar Association and was Franklin's leading attorney. When he had finished his course at old Franklin High he went to Ann Arbor, Michigan, and studied for one year in the literary course. He then entered the law office of Craighead & Craighead in Dayton and read law. He was admitted to the bar in October, 1880. Next he entered the senior class of the Cincinnati Law School, from which he also graduated and was again admitted to the bar. He then opened an office in Cincinnati and in 1883 he came back to Franklin and opened an office which he has steadily maintained until the time of his death. Thus for more than forty years he had served the people of Franklin as a conscientious and diligent adviser in matters of the law.

Ever since 1883 he has been one of Franklin's busiest and most respected citizens. When the Mackinaw Railroad declared its intention of extending the road to Franklin the officials appointed him their attorney for the purchase of the right of way and other matters. Soon after this he was made Secretary and Treasurer of the Franklin Electric Light Company, and a little later he became the Secretary of the Miami Valley Fair Association. He also served as Secretary of the Franklin Hydraulic Company and as Secretary of the Franklin and Carlisle Railway Company. All these corporations brought to his desk a mass of detail work but little in the way of financial remuneration. He gave splendid service to the Mackinaw Improvement Company and was instrumental in the development of the West Side residential. As secretary and Treasurer of the Mackinaw Improvement Association he signed every deed that is held by the the original purchasers of lots on the West Side.

In 1884 he was elected Mayor of the village to fill the short term after the resignation of John M. Dachtler. In 1885 he was reelected to the same office for the full term.

On October 30, 1890 he was united in marriage to Miss Anna Colcher, and shortly after moved into the home on Park avenue, which they have occupied ever since. Three children, two sons and a daughter were born to them and with the widow, remain to mourn the loss of a kind and indulgent father.

In later years, he was interested in the formation of the Franklin Wheel Company, and served as its Secretary and Treasurer, being also a stockholder and director of the Garrison Spoke Company. As an attorney he had many clients among the corporations and business men of Franklin and was a stockholder in a number of enterprises. At the time of his death he was the attorney of the Franklin National Bank and Miami Valley Building and Loan Association. IN all these positions of trust his integrity was above question and his dependability recognized by all.

He was one of the charter members and founders of the Franklin Rotary Club, being familiarly known to his associates as "Chief."

As the recognized head of the Peru Island Fishing Club, he was widely known among the natives and guides of the MacGregor Bay and country of Ontario. Years ago he began making vacation trips to this beautiful region and when an island was purchased and a house built by local fishermen, the organization was called the Peru (P. Rue) Island Fishing Club, in his honor.

Mr. Rue is survived by his wife, two sons, Milton of Potsdam, N.Y., Allen, of Detroit; one daughter, Mrs Mary Rue Shepperd, of Chicago, Ill., and two sisters, Miss Minnie Rue, of Dayton, and Mrs. Charles Noggle, who, with her husband is now on a year's tour through the west.

694 He married (first) Lucy Catherine Ware, in 1833, who had issue several children of whom only one daughter lived to maturity Family: MCGUIRE, Dr. William David / WARE, Lucy Catherine (F2752)
 
695 He met Bishop Carroll, of Maryland, who persuaded him to come to America. He was in Frederick county, Virginia, before 1747, the date of his first land grant MCGUIRE, Edward (I962)
 
696 He was a successful and distinguished lawyer; was in the State Legislature; noted for eloquence and power as an advocate; espoused ardently the anti-masonic side in the bitter controversies of the period from 1830 to 1836 RIDDELL, John (I5464)
 
697 He. came to this county in 1840 and began the practice of law WHITE, Nathan Smith (I695)
 
698 Headstone had year of death obscured. Verify year. COLES, Elizabeth Birdsall (I3788)
 
699 Headstone incorrectly reads 1841, and was placed at some point in the 20th century, probably by either daughter Susan or Josephine, who have similar markers, and died in the early 1960s BYRNE, George (I341)
 
700 Headstone notes “In her 48th year”, but all accounts other than that (i.e newspaper notices of the time, such as in the Hartford Times ) cite her age as 43. This would make sense, as had she been born in 1790 it would have pre-dated John Byrne - Anne Powers marriage by four years. BYRNE, Betsey (I1677)
