Lubben
Montpelier Examiner, Friday, 3 April 1903, page 1
A particular sad death occurred last Saturday evening in the home of Lubie H Lubbin (sic), when the grim reaper called away Mrs. Lubbin. About ten days prior to her death she gave birth to a baby. Complications followed this event, which medical science and loving hands could not overcome and at 11:20 pm on the night above mentioned her spirit took its flight.
Mrs. Lubbin was born in Sweden 37 years ago and came to America during her childhood. She was married to Mr. Lubbin in Iowa. Seven children were born to them, four of whom had preceded her across the dark river. The deceased leaves, besides her husband, three little boys and a host of warm and devoted friends.
Not many, if any, brighter, nobler and purer lives than Mrs. Lubbin's ever illuminated this old globe. She was a loving wife, a kind and indulgent mother, and a splendid neighbor. There was not the faintest suspicion of anything in her life, other than an upright Christian character.
