DARBY, MOLLIE
(11 Jul 1918, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. ARCHIE DARBY DIES.
Mrs. Darby, wife of Archie Darby, died at Sanitarium on Sunday at 11
o'clock; remains were brought to Elk City Tuesday afternoon and funeral
services held at Belle Vista school house, conducted by Rev. Coffey, after
which interment was made in Grandview cemetery.
The deceased was forty-four years old the third of last February.  She had
been in poor health for sometime, undergoing a deep operation about a year
ago.
A husband and eight children are left to mourn the loss of a loving and
devoted mother:  Mrs. Leonard McConkey of Duncan, a daughter, arrived here
Monday, a son, Luther Darby, lives south of Elk City.  The deepest
sympathy of the friends is extended to the bereaved ones.
By Rev. Coffey.
Mollie Harvey, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. J. Harvey was born February
3rd, 1874 at Richardson, Nebraska.  In 1894 she was married to A. E.
Darby, to whom eleven children were born, eight sons and three daughters,
eight of whom survive their mother, three little sons having died before.
Her father and mother, now very old, reside at Osborne, Kansas.  Besides
these, her husband, three sisters and five brothers are left to mourn her
loss.  Two brothers, Thomas, and Rev. Charles, the former of Sharon and
the latter of Duke, Okla., were present at her funeral.
Mrs. Darby united with the Christian church when quite young, to which
faith she remained true until her death which occurred at Supply, Okla.,
July 7, 1918.
A. E. Darby is well known in Elk City, having lived in this vicinity for
the last twelve years.  During that time they have met with many
misfortunes, having lost their residence by cyclone, and as he came to lay
his wife beside his three deceased boys in Grandview cemetery, July 9th,
many of their sympathizing friends were present to comfort the bereaved
ones in their sorrow.
