| Headline | Mrs. C. F. Marbut Dead: Passes Away at Her Home in Columbia, Wednesday. |
| Text | Death, that unwelcome visitor, has entered a happy home and beckoned the spirit of an excellent wife, a loving mother and a good friend and neighbor to that sprit land to dwell and greet her parents and wait to welcome her loved ones on earth. It is with sad feelings we have to record the death of a former citizen Cassville, one whom we all knew and loved, in the person of Mrs. Florence Marbut, beloved wife of Prof. Curtis F. Marbut of Columbia, MO, who died Wednesday noon, March 24, 1909, age 44 years, 2 months and 23 days, of pneumonia. The remains were shipped from Columbia, MO, and arrived in this city, Friday, March 26th, 1909, and were conveyed to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Ray, where they remained until 2:00 p. m., when they were taken to the Christian Church where Rev. Yarborough conducted funeral services to a large number of sorrowing relatives, old friends and neighbors. Mr. Curtis F. Marbut and Miss Florence L. Martin were married in Cassville at the home of the bride's parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Martin, on Dec 17, 1891. Five children were born to them: the oldest a daughter of seventeen years and the youngest a boy of four years. She left three brothers: Chas. G. Martin of Kansas City, W. H. Martin, Pioneer, and Henry Martin of Utah. All the care that skilled physicians, loving and anxious relatives and friends could devise and apply for her comfort and assistance were brought into play, but the fate of Him that rules over our incomings and outgoings, had been l__ned and after a brief struggle despite the prayers and entreaties by all who knew and loved her, were overruled and her spirit went to Him who gave it, surrounded by her family and friends. Here to Cassville where she grew to womanhood, attended school, and was married, the news of her untimely death made all her old friends sad, deeply sad, because she was loved by all. [Paragraph here about pictures on the walls, the spirit and how God takes, etc.] Mrs. Marbut was deputy collector under her father, the late W. L. Martin and Judge B. L. Evans, who resides near Pioneer and made a very efficient officer. The remains were lowered to their last resting place by her old school mates: D. D. Roller, C. D. Manley, J. R. Baker, Henry McNally, P. E. Horine and John Hankins. Many beautiful floral offerings were sent the family by old friends. |
