- "Death of Rueben Coe
Rueben Coe died at his home near Brock, May 21, 1907, aged 76 years. Deceased had been seriously ill only a few weeks, but prior to that time, and for years past, he had been in poor health. There had been a letting down of physical and mental forces years before his last illness. Ever after this attack his reason had been clouded. When death came to him it was surely a release. He came to this county in 1856 and resided here continuously up to the of death. Before he was stricken with physical and mental ailments he was a model citizen, a true type of a christian manhood. Idolized in the home, honored by his neighbors, esteemed by every citizen of the county who knew him and beloved in the Church as an earnest faithful worker. He will be missed and mourned by many friends. He leaves a wife, daughter, three brothers and two sisters. Funeral services will be held tomorrow at the Brock Church, W. C. Harper officiating, after which interment will be made in the Brock Cemetery."
Reuben Coe married Susan Hyde on 24 Aug 1854 in Hocking, Ohio. They were the parents of three children: Ellen, Irene, and Charles.
