Friday, February 6, 1920. DIES OF PARALYSIS. Mrs. Mary Ann LaBrot died Monday morning, February 2, at 7 o'clock aged almost 85 years.  She died at the home of her step-son, David LaBrot.  She had not been very well for some time but the immediate cause of her death was paralysis.  Her son, Joseph LaBrott, was accidently killed about three weeks ago when a quantity of ice fell on him while he was working at the bottom of the No. 1 shaft of the St. Joseph Lead Company.  It is said that she did not recover from the shock of his death. Mrs. LaBrot had been a Christian for more than 65 years, having professed conversion in her girlhood and having united with the Baptist church near Mine La Motte. Her husband and two sons preceded her in death.  Since the death of her husband she has made her home with her children.  For the greater part of the time for the past two years, she has lived with her daughter, Mrs. Thomas Isbell at Elvins. The funeral services were held at the home of David LaBrott Tuesday afternoon at 2 o'clock by Rev. Del Longgrear of the Methodist church.  The remains were interred at Parkview Cemetery. She leaves to mourn her loss two daughters, Mrs. Thomas Isbell of Elvins and Mrs. Hattie Tesreau of Festus; two sons, James of Mine La Motte and Ben who lives near Cross Roads east of Libertyville. NOTE: I typed the above obit exactly as it was published. I do not know which spelling is correct - LaBrot or LaBrott.           ------------------------------- To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to MOSTFRAN-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message
