| Ruben,
standing left, and Thomas
"T.A." Breeden standing right,
are photographed here in Rogers Co.,
Oklahoma. Born in Virgina, Ruben moved
to Missouri sometime before 1860. After
living in Cooper and St. Clair counties,
he moved for a short time to Fort Bend
Co, Texas where his wife Amorett (Wait)
died in 1898. After her death, he
returned to St. Clair Co., Missouri and
married his brother Samuel's widow,
Elizabeth Dean Breeden, in 1900. The
marriage, however, did not last and in
1900 or 1901, Ruben moved with some of
his children to Oklahoma where he lived
the remainder of his life. He died on 10
Mar 1915 in Claremore, Rogers Co.,
Oklahoma and was laid to rest at the
Sandridge Cemetery.
His son,
"T.A." (Thomas Albert), was
born in 1884 while the family lived in
Tiffin, St. Clair Co., Missouri. He later
removed to Montana, and then to Lane Co.,
Oregon. He passed away in Eugene, Lane
Co., Oregon on 03 May 1971 and was laid
to rest at Mount Calvary Cemetery.
