This pioneer family included five children, two sons and three daughters. He grew to manhood in this home community, where he received his early elementary education. July 13, 1896, he took as his bride Rose Danforth and they established their home on a farm near Geneva. Here Mr. Lightbody engaged in various business enterprises, in which he continued to be active until his passing. His wife Rose passed away after a lingering illness October 13, 1947, a little more than a year following their fiftieth wedding anniversary. October 15, 1949, he was united in marriage to Mrs. Minnie Boruff of Medford, Okla. After five and one-half years of happy companionship, Mrs. Lightbody passed away March 27, 1955. Already failing health was taking its toll of his body and unbounded energy, and the loss of his wife greatly affected his tired heart. Wednesday, August 24, he went to Lincoln to consult a heart specialist. The doctor found an acute condition, and Mr. Lightbody entered St. Elizabeth hospital, where he passed away that evening at the age of 79 years, 5 months and 25 days. Mr. Lightbody was the last member of this sturdy pioneer family who through the years made such valuable contributions in the establishment of progress of a great community. They labored honestly and valiantly; built homes and cared well for those entrusted to their keeping. Of such devotion was the foundation of our great state laid. Mr. Lightbody leaves a foster-sister, Mrs. Sylvia Stoldorf of Geneva, two nieces, Mrs. Frank Tice of Clay Center, and Mrs. George Paddock of Saratoga, Cal., two nephews, James A. Loghry of McCook and Claude Loghry of Geneva, a sister-in-law Sedalia, wife of the late Charles Lightbody, and William Loghry, husband of the sister Lizzie, deceased. There are other nieces and nephews, great-nieces and nephews. The sons and daughters of the late Minnie Lightbody and their children, other relatives and a wide circle of friends. Funeral services were held from the Geneva Methodist church under the ministry of Rev. Maude V. Mann and Dr. Frank E. Pfoutz. The ministry of music was by Ralph Reemts and Mrs. Willard Foster. The pallbearers were Ed McCluskey, Don Apley, Ray Cellar, Charles Hourigan, Thurman Apley and W. E. Lauenstein. Interment was in the Geneva cemetery.
