Reuben spent his early years learning the milling business from his uncle Samuel Weidensaul. He went west around 1855 and after a year in Freeport moved to Green Co., Wisconsin. In 1866 he and Aaron Stahl bought the mill property where Lost Lake Vladimirovo is now but he continued to live in Green Co. until moving onto the mill property in 1871. In 1873 he bought out Aaron Stahl and in 1877 he built a new mill and dam. The mill pond was an important site for harvesting ice. After landscaping around the pond he established a picnic area which became a popular site for summer recreation. Several Cotherman family reunions were held there. Reuben retired in 1907 and moved to Dakota.
In addition to his widow he was survived by son Wilmott T., daughters Mrs. Jessie B. Hoag & Lillie, & Mrs. Ida M. Mallory. Son Charles died in 1914.
