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.

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.

From Neodesha Citizen 26 Jan 1872:

Mr. L.S. Rue of Franklin, Warren county, Ohio, a brother of G.C. Rue of Neodesha, has been visiting in this vicinity for a few days past with the view of beholding the advantages and prospects of this part of the country. He expressed himself as much pleased with the outlook, being favorably with our town and country. He thought Neodesha, with its forests of timber, numerous water powers, and general suitableness for the purpose, could be made a manufacturing point of unusual consequence. Mr. Rue thinks of moving to Kansas - this part of it. He says that in his section of the Buckeye State the Kansas fever is raging, and the during the year many will immigrate hither. Should Mr. Rue come he would be followed by large numbers of his neighbors and acquaintances.

KILLED IN AN ORIENT WRECK

Rue and Fieland Yield Up Their Lives at the Post of Duty

One of the worst wrecks in the history of the Orient railroad occurred near Braithwaite a few miles south of Clinton, Saturday afternoon at 5 o'clock, when a south bound freight train turned turtle and went into the ditch, killing two members of the train crew, and dangerously injuring two more.

The wrecked train was a freight, made up of engine, tender and six coal cars Saturday morning a crew was ordered out to take an engine to Clinton to have the flues of the boiler washed out, and as all the regular crews were out on their runs, a special crew Was made up of the switch gang in the yards. They made the run to Clinton, washed the boiler, and while preparing to return were ordered to take back a train instead of running light

Everything went smoothly until the village of Braithwait was al most reached, when suddenly the engine turned over and the cars left the track It is thought that either broken or spreading rails were responsible for the wreck Foreman C W Rue, of the switching crew was instantly killed, also Mr Fieland, who was acting as helper. Engineer Jack Trumbolt's knees were crushed, and he received other injuries which will render him a cripple for life Fireman Walter Barker received painful injuries, his back being scalded by escaping steam, and he was badly bruised .

Trumbolt was taken to Wichita Kas , and the body of Fieland to Kansas City. C W Rue and Freman Barker were both brought to Altus, where they reside Both are under the care of Dr Miller, the company's surgeon at this place They are getting along as well as could be expected The train crew are all well known in Altus, and the accident has cast a gloom over all their friends The injured men are receiving every attention, and it is earnestly hoped that they may recover

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.

Perry married COLCHER, Anna M on 30 Oct 1890. Anna was born in 1868 in Ohio. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
