1882 History of Linn County, Missouri

BIOGRAPHY

REUBEN R. HAGUE                                                         Grantsville Township, page 857

    This gentleman was born in Athens county, Ohio, January 9, 1835.  His father’s name was Reuben Hague, Sr., and he was a native of Pennsylvania, born in 1794.  He at one time lived ten years in Linn county, Missouri, but went to California, where he still resides at an advanced age.  Reuben, Jr., was reared on a farm.  In 1856, on the twenty-first of August, he was married to Jane Patterson, who was a native of Morgan county, Ohio, and born March 25, 1838.  This proved a congenial union, and they have been blessed with six children, all of whom still survive.  Their names and dates of birth are as follows: Doctor C., born January 9, 1858; Charles A., born August 23, 1860; Julia, born January 7, 1864; Jacob, born March 10, 1867; Sarah, born June 8, 1869; Lucy, born November 18, 1874. 

     In the fall of 1856 Mr. Hague came to this county and lived in Grantsville township till 1861, when he went to Iowa, and, after a temporary stay, proceeded to La Salle county, Illinois.  He only remained six months, when, concluding Linn county, Missouri, was the best place for him, he returned to Grantsville township and there settled on a farm, where he has since resided.  His value as a successful farmer and good citizen is duly appreciated by all who know him.
