"B .F. Thorp received a message Saturday morning conveying the sad news of the death of his sister, Mrs. J. B. Huffman, which occurred at her home in Arcadia, Fla., Friday night at 8:50. Her death was caused from cancer. The funeral party will leave Arcadia Sunday morning and will reach Chillicothe Tuesday evening. The funeral will be held from the Elm Street Methodist Church, South, Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock and interment will be made in Edgewood Cemetery.
Mrs. Huffman's illness dated back to last October when she began failing. The latter part of last December, she came to Chillicothe and underwent an operation, from which she secured temporary relief. After remaining here several weeks, she returned to her home in Arcadia accompanied by Mr. and Mrs. Thorp, who remained at the Huffman home several weeks. After reaching her home, she seemed to be doing nicely until a short time ago when she began failing and during the last few days her death was expected at any time by the family.
Elizabeth Thorp Huffman was born in Carroll County in 1856. She made her home in that county with her parents until her marriage to Mr. Huffman, when they shortly afterwards came to Chillicothe and made this city their home until 1908 when they moved to Iola, Kansas and remained three years, thence going to Arcadia. During her early childhood, she united with the Methodist-Episcopal Church, South, and had lived a pure life. She was identified with the church work while a resident of this city. She made many friends who were grieved at the announcement of her death.
Besides her husband, she is survived by an adopted daughter, Miss Olive Huffman; three brothers, William Thorp of Kansas City, J. E. Thorp of Jonesboro, Ark. and B. F. Thorp of this city and a half-brother, Lee Thorp of Kansas City." Chillicothe Morning Constitution, June 27, 1914
