The Davenport Times  Wednesday Evening, Jan. 4, 1899 pg. 3

This morning at 5 o'clock, at the home of his parents, 1206 West Sixth 
street, occurred the death of Leo Ruhl, the third eldest son of Mr. and 
Mrs. Fred H. Ruhl.  The cause of his demise was rheumatism of several 
months duration, although it was but three weeks ago that he was compelled 
to take to his bed.  The lad suffered much, but bore it all with fortitude, 
and in the acute stages of the malady, which finally reached the heart, 
he had endeavored to cheer the sorrowing relatives with the hope that restored 
health would come with the future.  He was nineteen years of age and was a 
bright and promising young man who's death  will be long regretted by those 
near and dear to him.  Beside the bereaved parents, he is survived by two 
brothers and three sisters.  The funeral will be announced later.
