This appeared in the Stroudsburg Times newspaper on January 23, 1896 under the heading "Death of a Former Resident" - I know it was in column 3 but I'm not sure if it was the front page or an inside page (I spotted it while browsing microfilm but the printer didn't work)...
"Reuben Weiss died recently at Portland...leaving 28 grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren...resided 60 years in Poplar Valley this county (Monroe, Pa.). In 1830 he married Miss Susan Moyer who died in August 1881.
Sons are listed as John, William, Jacob M., and Lewis; daughters Mrs. S. A. Purday, Mrs. Levi Drake and Mrs. Henry Edinger and a daughter living in Newark."
It isn't verbatim as I had to scribble it, but you can probably get a copy from the microfilm at the Monroe County Historical Society, Stroudsburg, Pa.
