WELL KNOWN APPLETON WOMAN PASSES AWAY
Mrs. Elva Marie Grubb, nee Phelps, was born in Minneapolis, Minn.,
Aug. 19, 1893. While still a child she moved from there with her parents to
North Dakota and attended the schools of Minot. The family later moved to
Helena, Montana, where she united with the Presbyterian church in which she has
maintained her membership until her death.
After graduating from school, Mrs. Grubb taught for a year in the
schools of that state and the following year assumed a teaching position in the
schools of St. Helens, Ore. It was while a resident of that city that she was
married to Mr. O. W. Grubb. To this union eight children were born -- five girls
and three sons, the oldest now sixteen years of age and the youngest four years.
All of these survive the mother, save one.
About 15 years ago the family moved to this vicinity, locating first
near the Cox mill. Later, for some years, they lived near Snowden. She died
Saturday, August 2nd, being in her 37th year. She leaves to mourn her loss, her
mother, Mrs. Elmer Phelps, of North Dakota, her widower, W. O. Grubb of Appleton,
4 daughters, Elva Gale, Evelyn Marie, Mary and Elizabeth Louise; three sons,
William Wayne, John Harrison and Robert Lee, all of Appleton; besides one sister
and three brothers and a host of friends.
