Two of Christie and Rosie Simshauser’s daughters married sons of Reuben and Sarah Matthews. Reuben Matthews married Sarah Russell on 29 April 1890 at Barraba, and they had a family of 11 children. It appears that they lived in the Barraba and Maules Creek district all their lives
Reuben Matthews lived at “Glendon” Upper Maules Creek from 1900 to 1919 (Ref. birthdates of his children). He died at “Glendon” on 14 November 1919, as a result of an accident when he fell from a tree. It is believed that he was lopping trees for stock fodder, was caught in a falling branch, plunged to the bottom of a cliff and was killed. It was several days before he was found and was buried close by. A wooden cross was erected at the time to mark the spot but it has since decayed.
