Ness Co. News, Nov. 1, 1962 ---------------------------------------------- OBITUARY Mollie Priestley Curtis was born October 15, 1873, in Massac County, Ill., one of the 11 children of Dr. and Mrs. David B. Curtis, and passed away at her home in Ransom, Kansas, on October 26, 1962. As a child of five, she with her twin brother, John, and other members of the large family had the thrilling experience of a covered wagon journey from Illinois to Kansas. For health reasons, Doctor Curtis moved his family from an area where drainage was a problem to a homestead on the Trego-Ness County boundary line. Vivid in her memory were the biscuits and cornbread baked enroute on the kitchen stove installed in the moving wagon and the family cow who walked the long miles behind the wagon furnishing a regular supply of sweet milk. As a young woman she taught for several years in the schools of Trego County and Ness County and attended Central Normal College in Great Bend. There she became acquainted with a fellow student, L.B. Dubbs. They were married on March 30, 1897, and established a home in Ransom where she resided throughout the 65 years of her married life. Her husband and her three children, Charles E. Dubbs of Kansas City, Kansas, Mrs. Netta Curry and Mrs. Bertha Whitaker of the home survive her. Also surviving are her youngest sister, Mrs. Lee C. (Helen) Miller of Ransom, three grandchildren, Mrs. Jean LaFon of Okinawa, Joe Curry of Rosemead, Calif., and Jack Curry of Hutchinson; her brother-in-law, Charles F. Dubbs of the home, and 10 great-grandchildren. Other members of her immediate family and a grandson, Curtis Rex Guipre, preceded her in death. The Methodist Church, the Woman’s Christian Temperance Union, and flowers were the interests on which Mrs. Dubbs centered much of her time and effort. She knew flowers and loved to raise them in the church yard as well as at her own home, and to supply them to innumerable friends and neighbors. Until her later years when illness curtailed her activity, she taught Sunday school class, sponsored the Loyal Temperance Legion and furnished bouquets for countless church and community events. Although shy and retiring by nature she is loved and and remembered by many who benefited by the kindness and concern for others which molded her life. Rev. Bruce Blake conducted the funeral services from the Ransom Methodist Church with Mrs. Reginald Buxton as soloist and Mrs. Russell Shellenberger as organist. Pallbearers were Edwin Shellenberger, Clyde, Orville, and Wilbur Willour, John Marhofer and Donald Friess. Interment was in Ransom Cemetery. Ness Co. News, Nov. 1, 1962
