TAULBEE, LETTIE MARY
(22 May 1924, Thursday, Elk City News Democrat, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
MRS. JOHN TAULBEE
Born Sept. 16, 1890
Died May 19, 1924
Lettie Mary Lusby, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Lusby, was born in Taylor,
Texas, September 16th, 1890.  Was married to John Taulbee, February 5,
1911, Rev. Sebe Thomas, performing the ceremony.  To this union was born
two children, a son, Joseph, and an infant born four weeks ago but who
passed away at the age of three weeks, just a week and four days before
the mother.  She was not told of the death of her babe, because of her
serious condition, and in funeral services Rev. Hamilton spoke that one of
the sweet surprises for the mother when she reached heaven was to be
greeted by the little babe who had such a short time before so happily
welcomed here by the fond parents and thirteen year old brother.
Funeral services were held here at the Baptist Church on Tuesday
afternoon.  Every available seat in the large church was taken by friends
and neighbors of this beloved woman.  Her parents came to this part of the
country in the early day and having been prominent in social circles and
progress, a wide acquaintance had been made, and their daughter Lettie,
had ever been popular for her sweet Christian character, and it was with
sad hearts that so many came to pay their last respect to their friend and
neighbor.
The church was a bower of roses and flowers, tributes of love for the
deceased and tokens of sympathy to the bereaved ones.  Joseph's class of
Merritt school attended the services in a body.
Besides the husband, son and parents she leaves three sisters and three
brothers:  Mrs. Stanley Berridge of Roosevelt, Okla., W. J. Lusby of
Guthrie, Okla., Mrs. Lee Daugherty, Mrs. Chas. Lehne, Albert Lusby and
Allen Lusby of Elk City.
The deepest sympathy is expressed by all to the bereaved and in this the
News Democrat family wishes to join.
