After a severe illness of more than a week, Mrs. Sophia (May) Broda, a well known resident of the Wray and Laird communities for many years, died Wednesday morning at the Community Hospital where she had been a patient since her final illness. The lady fell several months ago and fractured a hip, but she had made an excellant recovery and was looking forward to helping her daughter, Mrs. A. M. Tofflemoyer, celebrate her golden wedding anniversay on Feb 12. A week ago she suddenly became ill, and her condition became gradually worse until her death yesterday.
Sophis Maria Monasmith was born December 21, 1864 near Norwalk, Iowa, and died at the age of 85 years, one month and 18 days.

In 1890, the couple with their children pionered in the west, coming to Norcatur, Kansas in a covered wagon and established a home there. Eighteen years ago they moved to Laird and Mrs. Broda has been a resident of the Wray and Laird communities ever since. Mr. Broda preceded his wife in death on June 10, 1942.
