Day of Funeral: Snow was on the ground that cold January morning. White mounds were piled at the gravesite where Reuben's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren gathered to remember his life. His widow, Cora, did not attend, as they had been separated for many years. She remained quietly at home that day and later sat down with a granddaughter who shared the description of Reuben's funeral. Cora reminisced about the good times, along with other life events that led to their separation. Cora knew that through it all, she was blessed with two loving children: a son and a daughter, as well as five grandchildren and quite a number of great-grandchildren.
The family of Reuben and Cora knew of the circumstances and the sadness but have been ever grateful for the lives that were created as a result of the marriage. There are now more than twenty beautiful great-great-grandchildren.
