"The son-in-law who served in the Civil War was Henry S. Ruthrauff, husband of Emma V. Matthews, the fifth child of George and Hannah Matthews. Henry S. Ruthrauff was born Oct. 10, 1837 in the town of Fayette, the son of Henry and Susan Seibert Ruthrauff, and moved to Seneca Falls as a young man. He married Emma Matthews at the Waterloo Presbyterian Church on Nov. 27, 1859, and enlisted at age 26 as a private in Battery D 3rd Light Artillery on Feb. 17, 1864. He was discharged from service on Aug. 27, 1865. The 1870 census lists Ruthrauff as being a grocer in Seneca Falls. The 1894 county business directory lists him as a contractor and builder, living at 123 Ovid St. in Seneca Falls. On Sept. 16, 1921 he resigned as superintendent of Restvale Cemetery in Seneca Falls after completing 22 years of service. He died on Oct. 16, 1925, and his obituary indicated that he had been a police officer for 10 years. The obituary also stated that he was one of the eight original members of the Cross Post of Civil War veterans still living in 1925 (out of the original 400 Post members). His wife, Emma V. Matthews Ruthrauff, died on Aug. 20, 1920; she and Henry S. had been married for more than 60 years."
