    Notes:

    Piecing together Garrett Rue's life, he appears to have been a troubled individual. He got off to a reasonable start, the son of a farmer in western Ohio. HIs father died when he was in his mid-twenties, and he was the executor of the estate, which appeared to leave very little to the descendants. His marriage to Sarah occurred only 5 months before the birth of his first daughter, Annie. Following his move to Kansas in the early 1860's, he appeared to be on a better track, serving as one of the first state legislators there. But he appears to have gotten into a number of legal disputes in Johnson County, mainly financial, and later moved to Neodosha. Once he and the family made it west to Hollister in late 1880s, more problems seemed to follow. His wife filed claims of assault against Garrett, and essentially divorced him. He ultimately hanged himself in 1890.

    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.

    Emigration:
    G. C. Rue and family, of Neodesha, left for Southern California on Monday, taking the Frisco road to Wichita. They go to California to make it their home. 'Squire Rue was one of the pioneer settlers of Neodesha-tp., and an old resident of Kansas. Prior to his removal to Wilson-co. he lived near Gardner, Johnson-co, and once represented a district up there in the legislature.
