M, b. September 18, 1809, d. September 17, 1881
     Thomas R. Rule was buried at New Hope Church Cemetery, Fremont Co., Colorado.4,5 He was born on September 18, 1809 at Bath Co., Kentucky.1,3 He married Eliza Jane Gray, daughter of Edward Gray and Nancy Akers, on October 8, 1855 at Missouri.1,3 Thomas R. Rule died on September 17, 1881 at Wetmore, Custer Co., Colorado, at age 71.1,3,5 He Thomas R. Rule was born in Bath County, Kentucky, Sept. 18, 1809, emigrated to Clay County, Mo., in 1827, where in 1832 he was married to Miss Clarisa Pense. Previous to this he had obtained a hope in Christ and united with the Baptists at Liberty Church. Though having evidences that he was called to preach at this time, he kept it concealed from his bosom of friends for five weary years, when the burden became so toilsome and the manifestations so plain, he consented to serve his Lord in the capacity as a minister, which he faithfully fullfilled up to his death, filling his last appointment a few days before his departure. He moved from Clay to Jackson County, Mo., where he entered considerable land, and his first wife having died, he married Miss Eliza Gray. In 1861 he began freighting across the plains to Colorado and New Mexico, which occupation he followed for four years. In the mean time his second wife had died, and in 1865 he was married to Mrs. Margaret Staten, Eld. Henry Hill. The same year he moved to Colorndo and began stock raising in Custer, Fremont and Elpaso counties, which occupation he followed successfully up to his death. He had thirteen children by his three wives, seven by the first, four by the second, and two by the last. Ten of them, and his last wife, survive his death, which took place on the 17th of September, 1881, being buried on the day he was 72 years old. The day before his death he said that his birthdat would be within three days, but he would not live to see it. Brother Rule had stood on the walls of Zion forty-five years, proclaiming glad tidings to the poor, never shunning to declare to the whole counsel of God. His death was caused by valvular disease of the heart, hastened by the kick of a horse on the breast, on the second of July last. Yours in hope, Jos. B. McGinty, Wetmore, Colorado, Dec. 3, 1881. on December 3, 1881.3
