This article appeared in the Newark [OH] Advocate on 27 Aug 1927:
WOMAN MAY DIE AFTER BEING HIT BY AIREDALE
Mrs. Georgiana Franklin is in a critical condition
and is not expected to live at her home in the resi-
dence with Dr. and Mrs. J. H. Hornsby. Her condition
is due to a shock resulting from having been knocked
down by a larrge airedale dog belonging to F. J. Ruple
of 111 West Locust street. Mrs. Franklin was not injured
, but she was so badly frightened that due to her extreme
age she has been on the verge of collapse since the
occurrence and has been unconscious practically all the
time since Tuesday.
The happening was on last Monday evening while
she was walking west on Locust street and Charles
Ruple, aged 12 years, riding on a scooter and accom-
panied by his dog, came out of the yard as Mrs. Franklin
was passing. Police Officer Curtis Berry is investigating
the case, which was not called to the attention of the police
until yesterday.

By 1930, the family had returned to Ohio. Frank Ruple (37) and his wife, Marguerite (35) rented a home for $50 a month at 361 Granville St. in Newark, Licking Co., Ohio. Also living in the household were their children Margaretta (16), Charles (15), Jean (12), Myra (10), and Sally Ann (1), and unmarried brother-in-law John Milletan (38). Frank was employed as an automobile salesman. His brother-in-law was an automobile service manager. Everyone in the household was born in Ohio except Myra, who had been born in Pennsylvania. Margeruite and John's father was a native of Illinois. The family owned a radio set.

The "Looking Backward" column of the Newark [OH] Advocate on 19 Sep 1969 reported events from 15 years prior (19 Sep 1954):
Condition of Frank Ruple, employed at a used
car lot on 12th and West Main Streets, suffered a
fractured left leg when he was pined between two
cars in the lot. Owner of the car lot is his son,
Charles Ruple.

The headline article from page 1 of the Newark [OH] Advocate, 23 Dec 1963, accompanied by a photo of Frank Ruple.:
MAN DIES IN WAVE OF TRAFFIC CRASHES
Report 26 Accidents To Police
Busy police officers investigated 26 crashes on
accident-strewn city streets over the weekend, in-
cluding one that left a 69-year-old man dead.
Frank J. Ruple, 283 W. Church St., apparently
died instantly at 4:13 p.m. Sunday in a three-car
accident at West Church and 8th Streets.
According to a police report, Mr. Ruple was
driving north on 8th and pulled out into the inter-
section in the path of two eastbound cars. His
car was slammed into a tree he was thrown
out.
Dr. George Gressle, coroner, said today that
Mr. Ruple suffered multiple internal injuries.
He said, however, there was evidence of brain
damage having occurred before the accident.
He has not completed his investigation.
Driver of the car which hit Mr. Ruple’s was
Charles W. Braunbeck, 19, 369 W. Locust St.,
who is in fair condition with arm and facial
injuries.
Driving the third car was Donald W. Nethers,
27, of 411 Garfield Ave., who avoided hitting the
other two cars, but skidded into a tree on the
south side of Church Street. He was not injured.
Braunbeck told police he saw Mr. Ruple stop
at the intersection, then pull ahead.
“I cut to the left, hit the horn and brakes, and hit
him all about the same time,” he told investigating
officers.
Mr. Ruple was a car salesman for 40 years. He
spent 25 of his 40 years as a salesman with his son
Charles, WOW car Co. He was born in Marietta on
Feb. 3, 1893, to Charles and Barbara Homan (sic)
Ruple. His wife died in 1947.
He is survived by his son, Charles G., of Newark;
five daughters; Mrs. Donald Crouse and Mrs. Oscar
Stoll, both of Newark, Mrs. Galon Rodabaugh of Lan-
caster, Mrs. Theodore Tanner of Mt. Vernon, and Mrs.
Bruce Benedict of Madison Heights, Michigan; 22
grandchildren, four great-grandchildren; a sister, Mrs.
Lewis DuChene of Beaver, Pa.
Friends may call at the Egan Funeral Home after 7
p.m. today. Burial will be in Mt. Calvary Cemetery after
services at St. Francis at 10 a.m. Tuesday.

The a follow-up to the obituary of Frank Ruple appeared in the Newark [OH] Advocate on 24 Dec 1963:
HEART ATTACK POSSIBLE IN FATAL CRASH
Frank J. Ruple, 70, who was killed in an automobile
accident Sunday, may have suffered a heart attack just
before the accident, Dr. George Gressle, coroner, said
today.
He said his official ruling will be that Ruple’s death
was due to massive internal injuries caused in the crash,
but that it is quite possible that he had a heart attack,
causing a blackout and loss of control of the car. His car
pulled out into the path of two cars on Church Street.
Dr. Gressle said that there was evidence of cerebral
hemorrhaging having occurred before the accident.
Charles W. Braunbeck, 19, of 369 W. Locust St., who
was injured in the accident, is listed today in fairly good
condition at Newark Hospital.
