Mrs. Lib Stribling


Mrs. Stribling Dead

Mrs. Lib Stribling aged about seventy years died suddenly Thursday at 
her home near Florida.  She had gone out after the cows and her son, 
who lives on the same farm, heard her calling them and went over to 
help bring them up and found her dead.  She had been seemingly as  
well as usual.  Mr. Stribling has been an invalid for some time.   
About two years ago he fell and broke his hip.  Since then he has not 
been able to walk.  The two lived alone.  In addition to her husband, 
she is survived by five children, Mrs. Stella Flannagan of Tulsa, 
Oklahoma, Mrs. Iona Henderson of Goss, Mrs. Clara Tipton of Paris, 
Estel Stribling of Sedalia, and Selsor (sic) Stribling, who lives on 
the same farm with his parents.  (Source: Monroe City News dtd 6 Oct

Note:  Mrs. Stribling was Martha Ellen "Sis" Dooley, daughter of 
Stephen and Frances Johnson Dooley.  Her husband was John Littleton 
Dooley.  The son's correct name was Celsus Stribling.
