Bio
HIGBEE NEWS (Randolph County MO)--1 Apr 1898--DAVID S. RULE DEAD--Died, at 9:50 a.m. on Saturday, March 26th, 1898, David Livingston Rule, who resided south of town. His remains were interred on Sunday at New Hope cemetery. Funeral services were held at the church. Mr. Rule was an old resident of Howard county and was one of the best known men in the county. He is mourned by all his neighbors who openly proclaim that they have lost a close friend and a kind neighbor. This they attested by the large numbers who attended the funeral under the unfavorable circumstances of exceedingly bad roads. Mr. Rule was born in Franklin County, MO, April 2, 1838, and was, therefore, close on 60 years of age. He moved to his late residence 18 years ago and was married to MARY JANE HOLTZCLAW. The issue of this marriage was four children, two of whom are dead. His widow and two children survive him. He was perfectly reconciled to his death and was ready to depart to his Savior. He often expressed himself prepared to go and had only one regret--of parting with his family, whom he loved dearly. He was a member of the Methodist Church, South, for forty years. He suffered considerably for some time before his death from an illness of over a year's duration, but his end was quiet and peaceful. *transcribed by Kathy Bowlin* ************************** The following obituary was submitted by Findagrave Contributor Sherida (Riggs) Childers (#46624606).
