William Ruble (my Great-Great Grandfather) He bought up several gold mining claims along Coyote Creek, east of Wolf Creek and built the now state park of Golden. The church still stands and is listed on the National Registry of Historic places. The property is still listed as the Ruble mining district on Josephine County Maps.
