Mrs. STUBBS was the mother of three children, all of whom have preceded her in death. Twin daughters Carrie and Estelle died in infancy, wile (sic. while) a son, Rex, died in 1904. Three half-brothers, Jas. C. and Warrent B STUBBS of St. Louis, and Jesse R. STUBBS of Kansas City, and her husband survive her.

Mr. (sic. Mrs.) STUBBS last sickness has extended over several months.
