Lucinda (Marsh) Colbert

Mrs. John Colbert.

	Lucinda Marsh Colbert, wife of John Colbert, who died of 
pneumonia yesterday afternoon [15 Apr 1904-ed.] at the Colbert 
home, No. [unclear] street, Thirteenth Ward, was born sixty-nine 
years ago in Centerville, Indiana County, being a daughter of 
Mr. and Mrs. James Marsh. Her mother died in Morrellville in 
1881 and her father in Coopersdale in 1886. Mrs. Colbert was a 
sister of Jacob Marsh, of Morrellville; William, of Sharon; 
Lavinus, of near Vinco; Noah, of the Thirteenth Ward; Mrs. 
Margaret Young, of Youngstown; Mrs. Catherine Young, of 
Alliance, and Mrs. Abbie Kettering, of Lorain.

	Lucinda Marsh and John Colbert were married in the 
Franklin-street M.E. Church, this city, by the Rev. William F. 
Lauck in 1854, and they had since resided in this vicinity. Ten 
children were born to Mr. and Mrs. Colbert, eight of whom 
preceded their mother to the grave. The living are James, of 
North Dakota, intermarried with Kate Constable, daughter of 
David Constable, of the Fourteenth Ward, and Harry, of Llewellyn 
street, intermarried with Maggie McAfee, daughter of Mr. and 
Mrs. John McAfee, also of this city.

	Mrs. Colbert was a member of the Methodist Church for 
fifty-two years. She became identified with the congregation at 
Cambria Furnace in 1852 and joined the Franklin-street 
congregation in 1893, during the pastorate of the Rev. W.F. 
Conner, D.D., having been transferred from the Cooper-avenue 
congregation. The funeral will take place Sunday afternoon, when 
the Rev. Dr. Thomas H. Woodring, her pastor, will conduct the 
obsequies, probably at the Methodist Church at 2 o'clock. 
Interment will be made in Sandyvale Cemetery.
