Name:
Lorenzo Dow Grubaugh was born on 14 Sep 1884 in Morris County, KS to Joshua Lee Grubaugh and Nora Mary Henry. He was the 5th of 12 children born to this couple. His mother died in 1896 shortly after giving birth to the twelfth child (who was stillborn) and the family eventually went their separate ways. Lorenzo lists his birth date as 14 Nov 1885 in the World War I draft registration, but he appears as a 6 month old child in the 1885 Kansas census, setting his birth year as 1884.
Lorenzo married Lula Belle Rowton in 1909, likely in Kansas. They never had any children. They divorced on 3 Jun 1929 in El Paso County, CO. Lula Belle went west to Santa Barbara County, CA where she eventually married Clarence Leroy Rogers. Lorenzo never remarried. Lorenzo spent most of his life as a farmer. He died as a result of injuries sustained in a barroom fight on Easter night. A newspaper account of the inquiry is as follows:

Twin Falls News Times, April 27, 1949
Inquest Held Into Ketchum Man's Death
Hailey, April 27 - Death by "accidental means causing circulatory failure, due to causes unknown . . " was the verdict of a coroner's jury Wednesday at an inquest called in the death of Lorenzo D. Grubaugh, 65, of Ketchum. Grubaugh died at 5 am Tuesday at the Sun Valley Hospital, assertedly of injuries received in an altercation Easter Sunday in the Legion club at Ketchum. He had been hospitalized at Sun Valley since Thursday. The inquest was conducted by Dr. Robert H. Wright, coroner, assisted by J. J. McFadden, prosecuting attorney. O. S. Farniun's testimony that Grubaugh had admitted both having an altercation and the blame for it, was corroborated by E. W. Smith. Details of an autopsy performed Tuesday night were given by Dr. John Moritz, who testified that Grubaugh had no sustained periods of rationality while hospitalized. Testifying were the bartender, Lue D. Hill, Ed S. Haynes, who had been asked to take Grubaugh home, Ray Daily, whom Haynes had asked for help, and Mr. & Mrs. Robert Jacobs, who saw the altercation. Testifying about getting Grubaugh to the hospital Thursday were James Reddy and Owen Simpson. According to the testimony, Grubaugh had been dozing on the bar. The bartender asked Haynes to take Grubaugh home but warned he was belligerent when drinking. Haynes woke Grubaugh up; then asked Daily, who was outside, for help. Grubaugh got as far as the door before resisting, then slapped the glasses off Daily's face and tore his wrist watch off. The witnesses agreed they had heard Grubaugh's head hit the floor but all testified that head seen no blow struck by Daily. Members of the jury were James Neyman, foreman, A. T. Glenn, Charles Harris, C. E. McGraw, L. P. Snyder, and Alden Neilsen. The inquest started at 9:15 am. The jury retired at 11:29 am and returned its verdict at 11:54 am. The late Mr. Grubaugh was born in 1884 in Wichita, Kansas and was a resident of the Ketchum area since 1936. He was engaged in farming on Warm Springs creek. Survivors include a brother, Charles G. Grubaugh, Park City, Mont., a nephew, Glen Grubaugh, Ketchum, a brother in Texas and a sister in California. Funeral services will be held at 2 pm Thursday at the Episcopal church in Ketchum. Interment will be made in the Ketchum cemetery, under the direction of the McGoldrick funeral home.

Name:
Benjamin Franklin Grubaugh was born in 1886 in Morris County, KS to Joshua Lee Grubaugh and Nora Mary Henry. He was the 6th child of 12 born to this couple. His mother died shortly after giving birth to the 12th child (in 1896). Benjamin when just 10 years old when she died. The family split up shortly after 1900. Benjamin moved to the west coast where he met and married Grace M. Stedman. They were married 2 Jul 1914 in Los Angeles County, It was somewhat of a rocky marriage. The following anecdote comes from Los Angeles Times:
Los Angeles Times, Jan. 22, 1919
Wife Blacks Eye of Motorman Who is Nearly Twice Her Size
"If you are good on New Year's Eve, I will be good to you", was the promise Mrs. Grace Grubaugh of Venice made her husband, she told Judge Crall in the trial of the divorce suit of Benjamin Grubaugh yesterday. "Then," she added, "he went out that night and stayed late, having a good time at the beach."
Mr. Grubaugh is a motorman and weighs 206 pounds. His wife tips the scale at 110 pounds. He told Judge Crall that his wife had torn his coat and blacked his eye. He charged Mrs. Grubaugh with having a bad temper, being intemperate and cruel.
In a cross-complaint, Mrs. Grubaugh declared that when she went to her old home in Salt Lake City to recover her health, the understanding was that her husband would join her there later. He did not arrive, so she borrowed money, returned to Venice and was told that she was not wanted. The court granted her the decree and $20 a month alimony.
Benjamin and Grace divorced 22 Jan 1919 in Los Angeles County. Sometime before 1930, Benjamin married Myrtle Harris. She had been previously married to Aden Ellsworth Kerns and her son from that marriage, Leroy B. Kerns, lived with Benjamin for quite a while. In fact, Myrtle and Leroy are listed with Benjamin in the 1920 census, while Myrtle is still married to Aden. Myrtle and Aden divorced shortly after that census and she married Benjamin. Benjamin had no children from either wife. Benjamin died in Los Angeles, CA in 1950.
