Her stay was short here but it was sufficient to win a place in the affection of each member of the household and the neighbors and friends. So only a little reay of sunlight, a glimpse of the radiance and glory for which she is now a part. Her illness was of but a few days duration but all that loving hands and medical skill could do was not enough to hold her longer. The Lord giveth and the Lord taketh away. Blessed be the name of the Lord. She leaves father, mother, two brothers, Stanley, aged seven and Paul, aged five, one grandmother, one great-grandmother and other relatives to mourn the loss. But as ties that bind to earth are broken They are binding us to the heavenly world. On account of seriousness of the disease only a brief funeral service was conducted at the home by Rev. G.M. Hughes of Kingston and the little remains were laid to rest in the Hitler-Ludwig cemetary. Put away the little dresses That our darling used to wear. She will need them on earth never She has climbed the golden stair."

THROCKMORTON - History of Ohio HISTORY OF OHIO - The American Historical Society, Inc., 1925 Volume III, page 42 DEAN C. THROCKMORTON is one of the active younger members of the Columbus bar, and recently has been called to one of the important official positions in the state government, as assistant chief of the Division of Securities. The Division of Securities is a bureau of the State Department of Commerce, and is commonly known as the "Blue Sky" department of the state government. The Division of Securities passes judgment upon the validity or legality of stock issues offered to the public by stock companies and corporations, and has jurisdiction in the matter of deciding whether such issues are allowed to be sold. Investigations are made of all stock promoting or stock selling enterprises, and as a result a high standard has been set for such securities. It may well be estimated that through the elimination of worthless stock, millions of dollars have been paid to the citizens, a saving that is the direct result of the work of the Division of Securities. Mr. Throckmorton was born in Chillicothe, Ohio, in 1891, son of Harley B. and Elizabeth (Dines) Throckmorton. The Throckmorton family is one of the oldest in America, having come from England in 1630 and settled in Virginia. From Virginia, they came into the Northwest Territory in 1801, and have been identified with Ohio throughout the statehood period. The grandfather of the Columbus attorney was Judge Jonathan L. Throckmorton, one of the leading lawyers of his day, and for a number of years a judge in Ross County. Dean C. Throckmorton has been a resident of Columbus since 1909. He studied law in the Ohio State University, graduating Bachelor of Laws in 1916. He then took up a general practice, and made a successful record as a trial attorney and counselor.

He is president of the Franklin County Democratic Club. Fraternally he is a member of the Masons, Moose and Eagles and the Phi Delta Phi legal fraternity.
