At the time I wrote the post, Joseph was a brickwall ancestor. But thanks to a comment left on that page (thank you, Kim!), I have some new clues to work with. Kim's comment also helped me take Joseph's line back a couple more generations, though I still have a LOT of research to do to fill in the families.
Kim's comment providing me with a clue is one of the reasons I write this blog. I hope I am helping other researchers and I am always excited to hear from others with clues and insight into the lines I'm researching. Unfortunately, Kim didn't leave me her email address and so I have not yet been successful in making direct contact with her, but I will keep trying.
So from Kim's comment I learned that her great-grandfather, Solomon Isaac Ruble, was a brother of Joseph Markwood Rheuble. Their parents were George Ruble and Susannah (or Susan) Coffman. Susannah was George's second wife. She also provided a link to the marriage record of Joseph to his wife, Louisa V. Sherman. They were married 31 July 1893 in Shenandoah Co., Virginia.
I next contacted my friend, Marty Hiatt, who is an excellent professional researcher specializing in Virginia. (If you ever need to hire a researcher, I highly recommend her. Contact me and I'll put you in touch.) Marty had a contact in Shenandoah County who was willing to visit the courthouse and find the original marriage record for me. She sent it to me today. Thank you so much, Nonna!

This confirms what Kim told me. Joseph M. Rheuble/Ruble was the son of George Ruble and Susan Coffman. He was born in Grant Co., West Virginia. And he was 21 in July 1893 (so born about 1872).
Next I did some basic research on George Ruble and Susannah Coffman. While I have not filled in their lives or children, yet, I did find some promising clues.

George and Susannah were married May 11, 1868.
This gives me lots of clues to pursue. I will add updates as this line unfolds.
