From the Washington County [Kansas] Register, 11/24/1933:

Mrs. C. H. Philbrook Passes

This community was saddened by the death Saturday morning of Mrs C. H. Philbrook who passed away at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ivan Sleigh, of Lexington Nebraska. Mrs Philbrook had been visiting her daughter and her family for several weeks but had been in frail health, due to shock received in an automobile accident when she and Mr Philbrook and Mr and Mrs J. T. Sleigh were driving to Lexington. She had not been bedfast, however, and her condition was not felt to be alarming until a few hours before she passed away.
Mrs Philbrook was a kindly warm-hearted woman who took an active part in the affairs of her community and she will be greatly missed.

**Obituary section, Same paper and date:

PHILBROOK- Iva Arrena Lidy, daughter of Daniel and Sarah Lidy, was born September 5, 1867 at Butler, DeKalb County, Indiana and departed this life November 18, 1933, at the age of 66 years, 2 months and 13 days.

She, with her parents, moved to Atchison county in 1868 and to Washington County in 1871, settling in the Chepstow community. In 1883 she was converted, and throughout her life has been a faithful Christian, a member of the Methodist Church.

On December 15, 1892, she was married to Clarence H. Philbrook. To this union were born two sons and three daughters. Mrs Philbrook, with her husband and family, moved to Washington in 1911, where she has since resided.

In the different branches of church, social and patriotic work, Mrs Philbrook was a tireless worker. She was one of the loyal members of the Willing Worker's Sunday School class. For years she was active in the American Legion Auxilliary. She belonged to the Rebekah Lodge, and was a member of the Friendship Circle. She was of the sturdy pioneer stock that buffeted the hardships of the early day, and, retaining her innate refinement, transmitted to her family the love of home, industry and humanity.

Philbrook, are her five children, Hazel, now Mrs Ivan Sleigh, Lexington, Nebraska; Lowell, of Los Angeles, California; Merell, of Washington; Vivian, now Mrs Percy Townsend, and Lola, now Mrs Harry Justis, both of Washington; five grandchildren, Dorothy and Phil Jr Philbrook, Max Townsend and Donald and Richard Sleigh; also two sisters, Mrs Minnie Lockard, Kansas City, KS; and Mrs A.A.
