Read More	Published in The Rochester News-Sentinel Thursday, April 3, 1930 Reuben K. GILLILAND, aged 62, better known to his friends in this city and Fulton county as "Reub" and for thirty years the owner of a cigar store and billiard parlor in this city, died this morning at 8:10 o'clock in his apartment at 430-1/2 North Main Street after a 10 weeks illness caused by dropsy and heart trouble. The deceased had been bedfast but 10 days. He was unconscious during his last 24 yours. Reub during his lifetime had been seriously ill on many occasions but at such times he waged a hard battle against death, but the courage which he displayed in his other battles against disease was lacking in his struggle against dropsy. Death it would seem to those who knew him best came today as a pleasant relief to his recent suffering. In the passing of Reuben Gilliland this city lost one of its public spirited and charitable citizens. For many years no person ever gave more in proportion to his worldly goods toward any enterprise which was for the betterment of Rochester than did he, often giving to such undertaking to his limit. He never refused any person who asked him for help. In the death of Mr. Gilliland those who were close to him say there never was a truer or a more sacrificing friend. The deceased was born on a farm near Larwell on Oct. 9, 1868 and came to this city when he was 14 years of age with his parents, John and Mary GILLILAND. He finished the common schools in this city and after his sophomore year in high school started to learn the cigar makers trade under the late George VanSKYKE. Thirty-eight years ago Mr. Gilliland with William DEWITT, now of Ardmore, Okla., and Fred MILLER operated a cigar factory on the south side of the public square where they manufactured the "Town Clock" cigar. In a few years this became one of the leading cigars in this section of the state. Later Mr. Gilliland and his associates added other cigars to their line such as the "LaPlanta," "Koh-I-Nor," "Gilliland's Little Rose" and "Gilliland's Hand Made." The business of Mr. Gilliland and his associates grew to such proportions that they deemed it best to open a retail cigar store and billiard parlor in this city, accordingly they leased the room in the Brackett building at 709 Main street thirty years ago, where they opened a store and also moved their cigar factory to the flat nearby. In later years Mr. Gilliland bought out the interests of his associates. In recent years his business slipped away and a year ago he moved from the room in the Brackett building to one at 502 North Main street where he again opened a cigar store and billiard parlor. Mr. Gilliland was a member of the Knights of Pythias, Eagle and Moose lodges of this city. Survivors are two sons, Geiger [GILLILAND] and William [GILLILAND], two daughters, Mrs. Frank ALBER, and Alice [GILLILAND], all of this city; a brother, Arley [GILLILAND], also of this city, a half-sister, Mrs. Milton GRUBBS, of Montpelier, Ohio, and a half-brother, Ed KIME, of this city. The funeral services in charge of Rev. T. R. STOVALL, will be held at the Methodist church Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock. Burial will be made in the I.O.O.F. cemetery.
