Ness Co. News, Aug. 17, 1972 ----------------------------------------------------- OBITUARY Maurice E. Dubbs, son of Samuel and Celia Dubbs, was born near El Dorado, on July 19, 1890, and departed this life on August 12, 1972, at the age of 82 years and 24 days. He was brought as a tiny baby to the family homestead and lived his early days in a sod house. He learned to love the land and as a young boy, he was found taking his place behind the plow to turn the fertile land. To further his educational interest in agriculture, he attended Kansas State college at Manhattan and has spent most of his life in this community as a farmer and stockman. At the age of 14, Maurice was baptized and became a member of the church of Christ and remained in steadfast faith. On June 16, 1920, he was united in marriage to Nellie Rufenacht. They celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary just 5 months prior to Nellie’s passing. To this happy home were born two daughters, Thelma and Melba. In later years he built a new house on his farm, doing most of the building himself. He also enjoyed working with woods, making gifts for his children and grandchildren. In January, 1970, he suffered a stroke leaving him an invalid. In his passing, he leaves two daughters and their husbands: Thelma and Don Anderson of Wichita, Melba and Leslie Tillitson of Ransom; five grandchildren, two great-grandsons; two sisters and their husbands: Mr. and Mrs. Roy Gravatt of Selma,Calif., and Mr. and Mrs. Omer Adkinson of Crowley, Colo.; and other relatives and many friends.
