Reuben was a son of Albert T. and Elsie Beatrice (Fell) Mahan. He was a brother of Frederick L. and A. LeRoy Mahan. He may have had a stillborn sister. Reuben and wife Cora were parents of Clifford and Alma. Although Reuben and Cora separated, they never divorced; Cora was the legally recognized widow at the time of Reuben's death. He had five grandchildren and lived to see most of his eleven great-grandchildren.
Day of Funeral: Snow was on the ground that cold January morning. White mounds were piled at the gravesite where Reuben's children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren gathered to remember his life. His widow, Cora, did not attend, as they had been separated for many years. She remained quietly at home that day and later sat down with a granddaughter who shared the description of Reuben's funeral. Cora reminisced about the good times, along with other life events that led to their separation. Cora knew that through it all, she was blessed with two loving children: a son and a daughter, as well as five grandchildren and quite a number of great-grandchildren.
The family of Reuben and Cora knew of the circumstances and the sadness but have been ever grateful for the lives that were created as a result of the marriage. There are now more than twenty beautiful great-great-grandchildren.
