New Richmond Record 12 Dec 1912 p1
Mrs.
Rebecca Shobe, aged 74 years, who was formerly a resident of New Richmond, also
made her home last winter here with Mrs. Jemima Detchon, died at the home of
her sister, Mrs. Hamp Booher in Darlington at 10:30 Sunday night Dec 1st,
after an illness of two weeks from a complication of diseases, her failing
health having extended far beyond that time. Mrs. Shobe’s maiden name was
Boyer; she was born west of Darlington and had lived all her life in Montgomery
County. Her husband, Felix Shobe, died several years ago, and Charles Shobe is
the only son of three children who survive her. She is mourned also by two
granddaughters, Misses Ruth and Esther Shobe of New Richmond. One brother, John
Boyer of Crawfordsville also survives. Mrs. Shobe was a member of the Methodist
Church and was truly a good, noble woman who will be missed in many homes. The funeral was held from the Booher home at
10:30 o’clock on Tuesday conducted by Rev. Rippetoe, pastor of the Darlington
ME Church. The interment was made in the family burial lot in the Lutheran
cemetery east of Darlington – kbz
