      From Lola Thompson:
      Reuben and Della Donohue moved to Athens County, Ohio between 1908-1910. They separated about 1927 in Mahoning County, Ohio. Della filed for divorce but it was never granted. I don't know what happened to Reuben. I never knew him. He must have died before 10 Mar 1940 because Della married Walter Woods on that date; then after his death she married John Babington in 1945. She moved to Alliance, Stark County, Ohio after 1940 and lived there until her death on 7 Sep 1954.
