She grew to womanhood in this city and on Sept. 1st, 1907 was married to Ernest B. Grubbs. To this union were born two children, Zorah of Cherokee, Kans., and Neil of Borger, Texas.

She died on January 7, 1930, at the age of 40 years, 4 months and 12 days. Besides her two children, she leaves to mourn her departure, her mother, Mrs. Mary T.

Note: Zara was killed when her car was struck by a Frisco freight train as she was returning to town after driving her daughter to the school where her daughter was teaching. A graphic account of the tragedy was in the Cherokee Sentinel on Jan. 10, 1930. It included the following paragraph at the end: Mrs. Grubbs since being here the past three years has been working out at Van's and by her sweet disposition has endured herself to the whole town. We have seen more tears on the faces of young folks when talking about her death than for many years. She was always busy, and had the respect and love of the whole town, and everyone is grieved over the terrible tragedy. Contributed by Cheryl White
