- Marble Hill Press, Marble Hill, Bollinger, Missouri, July 16, 1902
Died, at the home of her mother, Mrs. Susan F. Limbaugh, July 1, 1902, Miss Hattie A. Limbaugh, aged 19 years, 9 months and 28 days. Such was the sad intelligence which but recently has bowed in sorrow so many hearts in the community where the deceased was known and loved. By her gentleness, her Christian character, her sweet charity and her helpfulness she had won a place in the affections of all who knew her, and her memory will live with us and her name be cherished by us while the heart beats and memory is true to her office. Hattie had been confined to her room most of the time the last six months. On February 23, 1902, she had to undergo a surgical operation which she stood so well. Then everyone thought the time of recovery was near, but alas, it was the reverse to that. The dreaded disease formed on her lungs and recovery became impossible. She passed away shouting "I am going to rest." Hattie, with her two sisters, united with the Lutheran Church July 3, 1902. She leaves a mother, two sisters, four brothers to mourn their loss. The funeral was preached by Rev. C. C. Lyerly, pastor of the Lutheran Church, and her remains were laid to rest by the side of her father in the Limbaugh Cemetery.
