GORE NEWS: Luck (sic) Maria Ford was born in Adair County, Iowa, September 28, 1856 and passed away January 21, 1933 at the family home near Wichita. She was married to Truman H. Gilbert December 31, 1879, who survives. To this union were born five children: four daughters, Mrs. L. M. Best, Mrs. G. W. Best, Wakita; Mrs. H. W. Morris, of Wichita; Mrs. Grace Martling of Ponca City and one son Ernest, of Wichita all of whom are left to mourn their loss. Mrs. Gilbert, with her husband and family came to Oklahoma in 1893 and settled several miles south of Wakita where she lived until she moved with her husband to Wichita in 1924.
She was a devout Christian and a tireless worker in the church as long as her health permitted. Mrs. Gilbert passed away Saturday evening about eight o'clock surrounded by her husband and children, following an illness of flu. Mrs. L. M. Best spent the past week in Wichita helping care for her mother and Mrs. George Best was called to Wichita Saturday morning. Funeral services were conducted by Reverend Davenport, pastor of Prairie Queen chapel, of which Mrs. Gilbert was a member. H. T. Smith went to Wichita Saturday night after the body which was brought to Wakita and then to the home of her daughter, Mrs. L. M. Best.
