HUBBARD, EFFIE INEZ
(28 Feb 1924, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
The friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. Clarence Hubbard were
saddened to learn of Mrs. Hubbard's death which occurred on Sunday night,
February 24th, Effie Inez was just a young woman, having been born near
Elk City on April 21st, 1904 on the farm where her parents, Mr. and Mrs.
S. F. Ellis still reside.
She was a member of the Baptist Church having joined at Hebron about five
years ago.  She had lived in Elk City practically all of her life and was
married to Clarence Arnold Hubbard on August 18th, 1920.  Mr. Hubbard was
with the Marland Filling Station here for almost three years where he made
many friends because of his good nature and an ever ready smile.  In
November last he was made manager of the Marland Station at Cheyenne and
he and his wife began their residence there.
Mrs. Hubbard possessed a sweet, unassuming disposition which endeared her
to many, as was shown by the attendance at the funeral which was held on
Tuesday afternoon from the Baptist Church.  Sympathetic hands had
decorated the church beautifully with ferns and cut flowers.  The floral
offerings were emblematic of the love which the donors had for her.
She had suffered severely during the few days prior to her passing, but
seemed quite reconciled to her fate, whether she should go or be spared. 
Just a short time before the end, she called her family to her and after
calling each one by name sang "Nearer My God to Thee."  She also made some
requests of her sister, Mrs. Smalts, among them that Rev. Hamilton preach
her funeral sermon and that Mrs. Gibbs sing a song that she loved,
"Beautiful Isle of Somewhere."
These wishes were carried out as nearly as possible, Rev. Hamilton
speaking words of condolence to the relatives and friends and Mrs. Gibbs
singing the song she requested, with a violin accompaniment by Bessie May
Hamilton and Mrs. Hamilton at the piano.  Several beautiful selections
were given by the choir.
Besides her mother and father, three sisters and four brothers survive
her.  They are:  Mrs. V. C. Ward of Shidler, Okla., Mrs. C. H. Smalts of
Elk City, Mrs. E. A. McCollom of Wichita, Kans., J. A. Ellis, W. J. Ellis,
J. D. Ellis, all of whom are married and live near Elk City and Ernest
Ellis who resides with his parents.
The pall bearers were:  Walter Gibbs, Jack Cummings, Clarence Hadlock,
Donnie McClain, Walter Blackburn and Ray Brown.
Friends who came from Cheyenne to attend the funeral were:  Clyde Hubbard,
Dr. and Mrs. Tunnard, Mr. and Mrs. Jack Remby, Mr. and Mrs. Doug Kendall,
Marie Anderson, Mrs. George Burns, Mrs. Isabel Fields, Mr. and Mrs. Scott
Steer and Mr. and Mrs. Harold Steer.
