    Died:
    MITCHENER MARCHAND LASBURY - Citizens of Griggsville, both young and old, were shocked and saddened Monday afternoon when the news reached them of the sudden death of M. M. [Mitchener Marchand] Lasbury, known to everyone as "Twin."

    Mr. Lasbury was in his usual health when he went to work in his garden Monday afternoon. Coming into the house a little later he had just sat down to play a game of rummie with Lew Hitch, his genial companion who lives in their home, when he was stricken with a heart attack and leaning back in his chair, died instantly.

    Mr. Lasbury was born in London, England, April 21, 1864, and was one of twins, his brother dying in infancy. He came to America with his parents Thomas and Emma Wall White Lasbury, when he was three years of age.

    The family located in the Griggsville community where Mr. Lasbury had always made his home. He was married to Miss Minnie Pratt on March 8, 1899. She passed away in March 1920. One son was born to them, who died in infancy.

    They took into their home , tiny six months' old Margaret Richards, a niece. To her was given all the love and care they would have given their own. It was a sad shock to them when she died at the age of 18.

    Another little girl, Katrina Williams, now Mrs. Russell Doake of Los Angles, Calif., was taken into their home, and was a great comfort and joy to them for several years.

    Mrs. Emma McConnell, a sister of Mr. Lasbury and the only remaining member of the Lasbury family, went to live with her brother several years ago. The brother and sister and Mr. Hitch have enjoyed a comfortable life in their pleasant home on South Stanford street in Griggsville.

    For many years Mr. Lasbury had taken great pride in his ability to make things grow. His truck gardens which he operated as a business a number of years ago, were to him a source of genuine pleasure as well as profit. Even after going into business with T.M. Yates, operating the Pike Mills, his garden was his chief source of relaxation. Few citizens, if any, have been better known in their community than was M.M. Lasbury.

    His wit, his hearty laugh and friendliness made him remembered by all who knew him. His greatest pleasure was in making children happy. It was this love of little folks which stimulated his interest in the Community Christmas tree which had been an annual custom the past twenty years. He served as chairman of this organization for the past 15 years, and seeing Mr. Lasbury lead the grand march to the Christmas tree was a traditional a treat to the children as the appearance of Santa Clause himself. Only Monday morning he was greatly concerned as to what they could get for the children at Christmas with the war time shortages.

    Another organization on which he served faithfully was the Red Cross. AS president of the chapter he was always on hand when there was an opportunity for the Red Cross to serve. He was a familiar figure to the soldiers who were stationed there during the last spring's flood, providing them with stationery, etc., and arranging for special food to add variety to the regular army fare.

    Mr. Lasbury had been a member of the Masonic order for 53 years and was presented a fifty year medal by the Griggsville lodge to which he belonged, and of which he was justly proud. He was also a charter member of the Order of Eastern Star.

    Serving as a member of the Library board had been another interest and pleasure. Several times Mayor of Griggsville, he has always been identified with the best interests of the city, and was always an active worker for anything that would benefit his home town.

    Mr. Lasbury occupied a unique place in the hearts of he people in his community and will be sadly missed by all who knew him.

    Funeral services were held this afternoon at 2:30 at the Skinner Funeral Home. As was his wish, Griggsville lodge No. 45, A.F. and A.M. was in charge of the service. A prayer was offered by the Rev. Samuel J. Buck, pastor of the Methodist Church. Interment was in the Griggsville Cemetery.

    Mitchener married Minnie Pratt on 8 Mar 1899 in Jacksonville, Morgan, Illinois, USA. Minnie (daughter of George E. Pratt and Mary Bennett) was born on 26 Jan 1865 in Griggsville, Pike, Illinois, USA; died on 25 Mar 1930 in Quincy, Adams, Illinois, USA; was buried on 28 Mar 1930 in Griggsville, Pike, Illinois, USA.

    Notes:

    Married:
    Last Wednesday evening at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. G. E. Pratt of this city occurred the marriage of their daughter Miss Minnie to Mr. M. M. Lasbury.

    The friends were assembled early in the evening and at 8 o'clock Miss Grassley of Jacksonville, Ill. took her station at the piano and played Lohengrin's wedding march for the bridal party to enter and as the ceremony was taking place the tones of the wedding march ceased and the sweet notes of "O Promise Me" were played soft and low with a harmonizing effect. At the first notes of the wedding march all conversation ceased and all eyes were turned in the direction of the sitting room from the door of which proceeded four little tots, Master Ralph Farrand and Margaret Rodway and Master Baldwin Stead and Alice Parker dressed in pink and white suits looking like four little fairies heralding the coming of the bride and groom. The little escorts led the way through the back parlor into the front parlor and stepping to one side left of the bride and groom standing beneath a lovers knot of white satin trimmed with smilax, where Rev. N.L. Burton was waiting, who in clear tones and impressive manner, conducted the ceremony, using the beautiful ring service which joined together these two lives.

    The decorations were pink and white throughout the house

    After congratulations followed music consisted of vocal and instrumental solos. Excellent refreshments were served and at a late hour guests took their departure, leaving behind numerous useful and beautiful presents that are silent demonstrations of love and esteem of relatives, friends and associates of this worthy couple.

    The bride was gowned in white taffeta silk with an overdress of white organdie and carried Bride's roses.

    Mr. and Mrs. M.M. Lasbury are well known in this county, coming of noble families and worthy in themselves they need no further comment. They will reside in West Quincy avenue where they have a neat little cottage all fitted and will be "at home" to friends after April 1st.

    Those attending from a distance were Miss Grassly, Mr. A.J. Pratt of Jacksonville, Miss Minnie Chamberlain of Pittsfield, Mr. Thomas Lasbury, Jr. of Alton.

    DEATH OF MR. THOMAS LASBURY, Snr.

    Mr. Thomas Lasbury, Sr. in whose memory this article appears, was born in Kensington, England, June 8, 1832. At the time of his death he had nearly attained the age of score-four years. May 18, 1858, while yet in England, he was united in marriage to Miss Emma Wall White. Seven years later this noble couple emigrated to America.

    Coming to Pike County, Mr. Lasbury was a successful man in Griggsville, and in Pittsfield for many years. Those who knew him speak in the highest terms of his business integrity. He was a good and true citizen. Since retiring from business, Mr. Lasbury has lived in the west part of Griggsville.

    Up till the death of his wife, in December 1909, the Lasbury home was a model of quiet happy home life. In his home, Mr. Lasbury was best known. There his quiet manliness made the hearthstone a cheerful place. Since the death of his wife Mr. Lasbury lived with his daughter, Mrs. Mary H. Rodway. While he has not been a well man for sometime, Mr. Lasbury was a cheerful, contented man. He was not a selfish man, but in a noble sense he spent most of his life tending strictly to his own business. If all were like him peace and harmony would generally prevail.

    Thursday March 2 he appeared to feel as well as usual. He made his usual trip to town and talked in congenial and social ways to many of his dear friends. He returned to his home about 5:00P.M. and gave Mrs. Rodway a bottle of medicine from Dr. Watson, and delivered a message sent by the Dr. to her. He then inquired about the health of Mrs. Ezra Doane and family, from whom Mrs. Rodway had received a letter. He expressed his pleasure in knowing that they were well. Then there was a short struggle for breath, a bowing of the head and in less than a minute he yielded his spirit to God who gave it. Thus suddenly passed away a faithful citizen, a true man and a kind friend. It was the way he wanted to go. In him we see what the quiet service to the Episcopal Church will do to mold substantial character and a life that wears well to the end.

    To mourn the loss of this good man are four children, Thomas Lasbury of St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. Emma McConnell of Peoria, Illinois, Mrs. Mary H. Rodway and Mr. M.M. Lasbury of Griggsville. There are also nine grandchildren and ten great grandchildren.

    Funeral services were held at the home of Mrs. Mary H. Rodway, Sunday afternoon 2:30P.M., Rev. G.E. Young officiating. Interment Griggsville Cemetery. A good man has gone to rest.

    Pallbearers were Thomas Lasbury, M.M. Lasbury, C.H. McConnell, J.W. Stead, C.P. Hatch and John Lasbury, Jr.

    A GOOD WOMAN PASSES TO HER REWARD, RESIDED HERE FORTY-FOUR YEARS

    Emma Wall White Lasbury was born at Whetstone, near London, England, April 30, 1828. After a long life, characterized by sunshine, happiness, and good cheer, she passed into the Paradise of God, on Sunday, December 5, 1909, at 1:30A.M.

    Miss Emma Wall White was united in marriage with Mr. Thomas Lasbury, May 18, 1858. After spending seven and one half years of their married life in England, Mr. and Mrs. Lasbury came to the United States of America, December 1865. For 44 years they made their home in Griggsville, Illinois. Mrs. Lasbury enjoyed the very best of health until July 1909, when she was stricken with the disease which never loosened grip until she had passed beyond the bounds of mortal ailments. Kind and faithful friends and her beloved physician did all within human power to alleviate her sufferings. During these trying months she was exceedingly patient and always, endeavoring to speak words of kindness to cheer the hearts of anxious friends. Mrs. Lasbury was a devoted communicant member of St. James Church, Griggsville, Ill. She found her prayer book a source of great comfort and consolation, even to the end of the journey she prized the leaves of the well worn comforter, when too weak to hold the entire book. Because of age the book was in leaves and she used the book as long as she could see.

    Mrs. Lasbury was best known in her home. She quietly but truly lived her religion there. It is a thing of beauty and a joy forever to exemplify true character in the home. In this respect, Mrs. Lasbury will bear the closest scrutiny. In her death a loving couple have been separated, but it is only for a little while. The fidelity of that noble husband and wife is an example in this age that is worthy of limitation. May the strong arm of the Lord be around the living husband and may the sweet remembrance of true love comfort him. Such home life has large meaning in this world. May the Church of Christ be instrumental in building up and sending forth many persons with good strong pure lives. People of good character are held in everlasting remembrance. To such person death is but a sleep as Christ has taken away the sting of death and the power of the grave. In death the Christian simply chooses the ties to the things of this world, and opens them to nobler--and inexperencable and full of delight. The grass becomes a place of sweet rest for peacemakers in the sight of the Lord in the death of a saint. The wife, mother, grandmother and friend has passed on but, the memory of her best practical virtues live and will still live. She fell asleep in the faith of Christ and the body of the blessed resurrection.

    To mourn the loss very deeply, Mrs. Lasbury leaves a beloved husband, four children, Thomas Lasbury Jr. of St. Louis, Mo., Mrs. C.H. McConnell of Peoria, Ill., Mrs. M.H. Rodway, and Mrs. M.M. Lasbury of Griggsville, nine grandchildren and seven great grandchildren, also two sisters, Mrs. Eggar and Miss White of Wimbledon, England. Dear Friends fix your hopes in the Christ she loved and trusted.

    The funeral services were held in the home of her daughter, Mrs. M.H. Rodway, Griggsville, Tuesday, December 7, 1909, 2 P.M. The Rev. George E. Young, rector of St. James Church, Griggsville, Ill. read the comforting burial service of the church. The remains were interred in Griggsville cemetery to await the resurrection morn. May she rest in peace.

    Notes:

    Married:

Their marriage took place in St. George Chapel, London, fifty years ago.

    Mr. Lasbury came to America and Griggsville in 1865, landing at Quebec the day Abraham Lincoln was assassinated. Mrs. Lasbury and the children landed here on Christmas day the following year.
