"A Good Woman Gone. Died - In Marysville, August 10, 1898, of cancer, Mrs. L. L. Lush [Leonidas Lyman Lush].
Miss Malitia A. Lucus was born in LaPorte, Indiana, Oct. 4, 1849, and died in Marysville, Montana, Aug. 10, 1898; she was married to L. L. Lush, Oct. 4, 1869, at Waverly, Iowa, and was the mother of four children, three of whom are now residents of Marysville and were at her bedside when death came, and one, a little boy, who died in infancy. She came to Montana in August, 1889, and since coming here has enjoyed very good health until about a year ago, when she commenced ailing, but was not considered anyway serious, until in January, 1898, when Drs. King and Jordon decided she had cancer, since which time everything that medical skill could devise and suggest was done. Not one detail in any respect was neglected, but in spite of all this, she continually failed, until death came, and relieved her suffering. She knew her condition, but bravely fought the dreaded disease.
Mrs. Lush was a most noble woman in every respect, quite reserved and reticent, but ever ready to assist in every and any good work and deed. No one within her circle of duties was allowed to suffer in any particular, that she could in any way relieve, was always looking out for the welfare and happiness of her family and friends.
From the time of her death until her burial her home was thronged with sympathetic neighbors and friends, bringing flowers and such tokens of respect that kind hearts and thoughtful minds could suggest. A very large concourse of friends and neighbors met at the house Friday morning, where a short service was held, after which they repaired to the M. E. church, where the regular services were held, many not being able to get into the church. She was buried in the cemetery at this place. The remains were embalmed and placed in a metallic coffin, and sometime, we understand, will be taken up and taken east and there interred in the cemetery at her old home.
Mr. Lush, the bereaved husband, and her daughters, Mrs. Sugden, Mrs. Jobe and Miss Pearl Lush, who after left to mourn the loss of a loving and devoted wife and mother, have the sympathy of all people in Marysville." The Mountaineer, Marysville, 8/18/1898, page 3.

Mr. Lush was accompanied by his daughters, Mrs. Sugden and Mrs. Jobe." The Mountaineer, Marysville, 4/13/1899.
