Source: Crawfordsville Journal, December 1, 1910
Mary Lydia Curnutt, daughter of Calloway and Lydia Curnutt was born near New Richmond, Indiana, April 26, 1856, and died November 30, 1910, having lived 54 years, 7 months and 4 days. At the age of seven, soon after her mother's death, she was taken in to the home of Dr. and Mrs. George Manners with whom she lived the remainder of her maiden life and by whom she was loved and cherished as an own daughter. On October 4, 1874, she was united in marriage to James W. Tribby who also lived in the Manners home. Here the two have lived with the exception of three years spent a few miles east of New Richmond. Seven children came to this union, three boys and four girls. One son, Willie, died June 29, 1886. The children are Etta B. Archery, Jessie T. Shelly, George C., Emory, Mary and Ruth. Besides the husband, and children, she leaves two brothers, Henry Curnutt, of Nickerson, Kansas, and John Curnutt of Marysville, Mo., and one sister, Eloise Clifton, of Georgetown, Ill. Mrs. Tribby was taken ill in May of this year. While making a determined fight, to live, she was a patient sufferer, and was resigned to give up this life if God so willed. She spoke and acted throughout her sickness in accord with her firm faith in God and eternal life. She was a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for 44 years having united with the same at the age of ten. In her church relations she approached very nearly, if not altogether to the Christian ideal. The highest ambition of her life was to worthily serve her master and church.
