Iola Daily Register March 9, 1910
Barbara Ann Daugherty was born in the state of Maryland on August 28,1823 and died in Iola, Kansas, March 5, 1910, being in her 87th year. She moved to Ohio in early childhood and in the year 1843 was married to Simeon Billbe. The family moved to the state of Illinois in 1851 and to Allen County in 1867. Mrs. Billbe was therefore one of the "old" settlers. While the state was new and doctors were far away and hard to get, Mrs. Billbe was in great demand in her own and surrounding neighborhoods. She was early converted to the Christian faith and for more than 75 years lived a helpful, consistent, Christian life. She was the mother of eleven children, six of whom still survive her. Since the death of her husband almost six years ago, "grandma" as she was called by all, has been an invalid, patient, kind, loving, waiting for the call to "come up higher." She has gone and left us not money and lands but that richer heritage, a life of kindness, or service, of Christian hope, of faith of love, an heritage of which her sons and daughters may well be proud.
