July 20, 1900, Hollister Freelance: Suit for Divorce -- Olive E. BUCKLEY has commenced suit in the Superior Court against William H. BUCKLEY for a divorce, alleging that defendant has deserted plaintiff and their child from more than a year past. BUCKLEY is said to be residing at Redding.

Sept 7, 1900, Hollister Freelance: Mrs. Olive BUCKLEY was granted a divorce last Monday afternoon in the Superior court, from Wm. H. BUCKLEY on the grounds of failure to provide and desertion. From the evidence adduced it appears that defendant desired plaintiff to mortgage her property for $200 in order that he might go to the Klondike. She refused to do so and the hard feeling engendered by her refusal finally culminated in defendant packing up his belongings and leaving the house. With the exception of the sum of $5 which he sent plaintiff on 1 occasion, he has never contributed to her support during his roamings in different parts of the State, for the past 2 years?she was awarded custody of the minor child.

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.
