Came across the sad death certificate and obituary for Beulah Mae (Sigler) Thurby tonight while working on this Murphy/Thomas family tree. She was the young wife of James Lester Thurby, son of Henry Franklin Thurby & Nellie Willingham. Beulah was the daughter of Larkin J. Sigler and Girtie Mae King.
It appears that Beulah had a weak heart due to having had rheumatic fever, which left her with rheumatic heart disease. At eight months in her pregnancy, she went into labor and unfortunately, her heart gave out during.
Sadly, she and her baby girl (Lynda Sue) both passed away. It appears the doctor was Dr. Walter O'Nan, funeral director was Paul B. Moss. Funeral was at Bellfield Baptist Church and then they were laid to rest in Fairmont Cemetery.
If you ever happen to be in Henderson, Kentucky-- maybe think about stopping by and visiting young Mrs. Thurby and her daughter, Lynda.
