The Carson City Gazette, Thursday, January 8, 1931


Mrs. Elizabeth Brooks, wife of Walter Brooks of Gulfport, Florida, was taken 
ill December 22, 1930 and was taken to the hospital at St. Petersburg December 
25.  Her condition required an operation which was successful until paralysis 
caused her death noonday December 29.

Miss Elizabeth Johnson was born at Belmont, Peterborough county, Ontario, 
August 17, 1850.  When seventeen years of age she moved with her parents to a 
farm where she grew to womanhood.  In April 1872 she became the wife of John 
Tabor.  To this union was born a son, John.  For many years Mrs. Brooks was 
engaged in the millinery business in Hubbardston.  In 1920 she sold her 
property and moved to Gulfport, Florida.

January 20, 1920 she was married to Dr. John Robbins, a former physician of 
Hubbardston, who died in August 1921.  She was married to Walter Brooks 
formerly of Detroit, May 20, 1925.  They lived at their home in Gulfport until 
her death.

Mrs. Brooks was a kind and loving wife and mother.  Her cheerful disposition 
was always an inspiration to those about her.  She was a member of the Three-
Quarter Century club and of the All-States society at Gulfport.

Left to mourn her, are her husband, a daughter-in-law, Mrs. Martha Tabor of 
Dowagiac, one grandson, Kenneth Tabor of Lansing, one great grand-daughter, 
Dorothy Jean Tabor of Lansing, two brothers, Frank and John Johnson, and two 
sisters, Mrs. Bell Percy, also many other relatives and friends.

Prayer was held at the home in Florida Monday December 30 at 10 o’clock.  The 
party left on the Seaboard Airline railway for Hubbardston, where funeral 
services were held at the Methodist church Friday January 2.  Burial was in the 
west side cemetery.

following her marriage to Dr. Robinson, she moved to Florida.  After his death 
she continued to reside there.  Mr. and Mrs. Brooks were residing in Sarasota,
