He was married on January 10, 1878, in Dodge county, Wisconsin, to Mary A Montague, who survives him, and to the marriage three children were born. The son, Frank, died eleven years ago.

Two brothers survive him. They are John Ruane of Saxe, Minnesota, and James Ruane of Slayton, Minn., the latter of whom was present at his brother’s bedside. During his residence in this community, the deceased made many true friends, who admired him for his sterling manhood and good qualities.
