We don't know what Reuben was doing in Texas when he died - but he was traveling, and living in Arkansas in 1900. Obit. from the Evening Times of Beatrice, June 6, 1901. Reuben L. Blodgett was born in Prattsburg, New York, March 13, 1832, and died in Alvin, Texas, May 29, 1901. His youth and early manhood was spent in Ohio and Illinois. At Sandwich, Ill. he was married to Sarah A. Gibson, Sept 24, 1861. His wife and ten children survive him, all of whom live in or near Beatrice, except for one son, William, who is living in Keener, Ark. In July, 1867, Mr. Blodgett moved with his family to Nebraska and took a homestead seven miles north of Beatrice. He endured many of the privations of early pioneer life, among which he sorely missed his former church prileges, the only services here being preaching occasionally in the school house. Some Sundays, after his long ride of seven miles, he found no services here at all. The following is copied from the church record: "A letter written by Reuben L. Blodgett and published in eastern papers called the attention of the church at large and the Home Mission Board to the needs of the field and resulted in the organization of the First Presbyterian church of Beatrice, Neb. March 17, 1869." "Mrs. Sarah A. Blodgett was one of the five original charter members and Reuben L. Blodgett one of the first trustees appointed and Rev. B.F. McNeil was the first minister sent to the field and preached his first sermon in the small frame shool house on the site of the present High School building." Although Mr. Blodgett did not unite with the church himself or make any public profession of religion. those who knew him best never doubed his being a sincere and conscientious Christian.
