Bio
He married Addie Miller on February 5, 1895. The Columbus Daily Telegram , February 1, 1935 LISCO-- Death of Reuben Lisco - Reuben Lisco, 76, member of one of the pioneer families of this community and brother of R.Y. Lisco, of Columbus, passed away at his home at Lisco, Neb., Jan. 16, after an illness of several days' duration. Funeral services were held there Sunday, Jan. 20, and in conformance with his request, his body was laid to rest on his Garden county ranch near the village of Lisco. He was born in Iowa 76 years ago and came to Columbus in 1873 with his parents, the late Mr. and Mrs. William Lisco, who homesteaded the Lisco farm, adjoining what is now the Lincoln highway about two miles southeast of the city, where he grew to young manhood. In 1881 he went out to western Nebraska where he secured a job as a cowboy with the Rush Creek Land and Cattle company. He ultimately became part owner, vice president and business manager of the company, and at the time of his death was associated with the Wells Brothers, Chicago capitalists, in the ownership of that company and other land holdings, and also had extensive land holdings of his own. Mr. Lisco founded the town of Lisco, Neb., organized and managed for several years the first store in the town, and also organized the Lisco State bank, of which he continued as president until his death. Back in 1888, when Garden county was a part of Deuel county which was formed that year by separation from Cheyenne county, Mr. Lisco became the first sheriff of Deuel county, a position in which he served for four terms, but which he gave up to devote his time to his widespread business interests. He was one of the prominent and highly respected citizens of that section of the state. On Feb. 5, 1895 he married Miss Addie Miller, who had come out from her home in Michigan to visit relatives there. Besides his wife, he is survived by his brother R.Y. Lisco, of Columbus, who is himself in such feeble health that he was not informed at once of the death, and by two sisters, Miss Isabelle and Emma Lou Lisco of El Cajan, Calif.
