BRITTON JOURNAL -- April 1901 -- "A very sad occasion indeed was the funeral Sunday afternoon at the Prebyterian church when Rev. Butt preached a funeral sermon for both father and daughter. Miss Arabella Appleby died last Thursday night of perotonitis and at the same time the body of her father was on his way from Clancy, Montana where he had been stricken by the same disease. Mr. Appleby the deceased was fifty years old and leaves a wife and four children behind.
At the home of east of Britton the L.O.T.M. of which Miss Appleby was a member offered prayer and the body was taken to the Presbyterian church
where it was placed beside that of the father. The internment was at the Britton cemetery. At the grave, the L.O.T.M. performed their simple services over the body of their sister while Rev. Butt offered prayer over the body of the father."
