The following is extracted from Reliques of Rives, page 178:

Rufus Cornelius9 Rives was, like his father, mechanically inclined, and developed some skill as a carpenter and brick-mason. Soon after his marriage he built a double log house of four rooms and a hall between which still stands in fairly good repair. He devoted most of his time to farming, including the raising of tobacco, wheat and corn. After reaching maturity he became interested in reading law, and later took an examination for the bar and was admitted to practice. During the last twenty-five years of his life he devoted a large part of his time to law practice. He was fond of music and was a favorite of the people of his community, especially the young, whom he was ever ready to assist with their entertainments, at his home or elsewhere. His advice was widely sought by young and old alike. The colored people especially came to him with their troubles; and, in the assistance he was called upon to render them, rarely ever made any charge for his services. Many of them--or their parents--had belonged to his father or grandfather. He was for many years a magistrate in the Garrettsburg District, a member of the county court, and a school trustee for twenty years or more. Though he never held any other official positions, nor ever took an active part in religious work, there was no man of his community held in higher esteem than he.

Rufus married Mary William (Mollie) Elliott daughter of John S. Elliott and Mary Slaughter on 10 Sep 1864. Mary was born ^{1, 2, 3} on 4 Apr 1845 in Vicksburg, Warren Co., Mississippi. She died on 29 Jan 1918 in Christian Co., Kentucky. She was buried in King Cemetery, Christian Co., Kentucky.

They had the following children:

	12510	F	i	Mary Elouise Rives was born on 8 Aug 1865.
	12511	M	ii	MacKlin Elliott (Mack) Rives was born 1, 2 on 20 May 1867 in Kentucky. The following biographical account of Dr. Mack Rives is from Reliques of Rives, pp. 178-179: Dr. Mack Rives attended the neighborhood schools (during the winter months) until about the age of sixteen, when he obtained a clerkship in a store at old Garrettsburg. Somewhat later he become a traveling salesman for D. H. Baldwin & Co., of Louisville, Ky. After a year of this work he decided to engage in the grocery business on his own account, but finding store-keeping in the country neither congenial nor profitable he sold out at a loss of several hundred dollars and found employment in Clarksville, Tenn. In 1900 he left Clarksville several hundred dollars in debt and removed to San Francisco, Calif., and went to work in a broker's office dealing in real estate and insurance. He soon contrived to liquidate the indebtedness he had left in Clarksville and to accumulate sufficient capital to open a brokerage business of his own. At the time of the San Francisco earthquake in 1906 he owned an equity in the Hotel Merideth at 252 Turk St., which was completely wiped out by the fire. In the autumn of 1906 he matriculated in the Dental Dept. of the College of Physicians and Surgeons in San Francisco from which he was graduated in 1909. For ten years he pursued the practice of dentistry at Rio Vista, Calif., finally returning to his old home at Garrettsburg, Ky., to be with his father who died in June, 1920. In that year he entered Cumberland University and was graduated in law in 1921. In winding up his father's estate he was induced to buy the home place in order that it might not pass into the hands of strangers: so he abandoned his purpose of returning to California to practice law and resumed the practice of dentistry, choosing Clarksville, Tenn., for the purpose where he now resides, a bachelor.
