Mrs. Josephine [Madison] Stober, 79, died at 6 a.m. today at the Jack Hanson home in Wallingford where she had been making her home.

For many years she was telephone operator at Hardy. She was married there Nov. 25, 1914 to Claude Stober and they continued to live there until 1932 when they moved to Wallingford. Mr. Stober died Jan. 1, 1958.
