OBITUARY - DENNY CLARK TILBURY (MAUK Funeral Home).


Denny Clark TILBURY was born October 3, 1871, at Bondville, Ill.  At
the age of six years he moved, with his parents, to South Haven Kans.,

In 1897 he was united in marriage with Almeda Alice DUPY.  After their
marriage, Mr. and Mrs. TILBURY made their home in Hennessey for two
years.  They then came to Kingfisher, locating northwest of town on a
farm.  There they have lived continuously and reared their family of
which there were two children, Hazel and Victor, with the exception of
a few years spent in Kingfisher, where Mr. TILBURY operated a coal and
feed business.

and friends.  He lived a Christian life, having united with the First
Baptist church at Sheridan at the age of 20 years.  Upon coming to
Kingfisher he transferred his membership to the local church on June
20, 1904.

After several years of failing health he became acutely ill and was
brought to the home of his daughter, Mrs. Theodore WILMES, where he
died January 10, 1944.  He had reached the age of 72 years, 3 months
and 7 days.
