MARDEN, Katherine Belle

Arizona Weekly Journal Miner, Prescott, Arizona Territory Wednesday, February 7, 1900, page 2, column 6 Called To Her Reward Mrs. K. Belle Marden, wife of Dr. A. E. Marden of Fool’s Gulch, died at her home there on Thursday morning, February 1, after an illness of only five days. Her death has cast a gloom over the little camp where she resided, as she was universally beloved by all who knew her. She was a woman of a most lovable character, a devoted wife and excellent neighbor and companion, her very presence being a benediction. She was a consistent member of the Presbyterian church and in her life lived the principals she professed. Deceased was born in Missouri, March 22, 1866, hence only lacked about two months of being 34 years old. Her parents moved to Fredonia, Kansas, where her childhood and early womanhood was spent. She came to Arizona several months ago as a teacher in the Indian school at Sacaton agency, where Dr. Marden was stationed as physician. A friendship spring up between them, which ripened into love, resulting in a happy marriage about four years ago. She and her husband have resided at Fool’s Gulch in this county for about three years. In addition to her husband, she leaves a father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. G. I. Green, two sisters and two brothers, all residents of Fredonia, Kansas, and to whom the announcement of the sudden and unexpected death of their loved on will come as a great blow. The remains were brought up on this morning’s train, accompanied by a number of friends and were temporarily laid to rest in the citizens’ cemetery, at Prescott this afternoon at 5 o’clock, but will be taken up later and removed to Fredonia, Kansas, for final interment. Dr. Maden has the sympathy of the community in his bereavement. Transcriber's note: As far as can be determined she has not been removed to Fredonia, Kansas and is still buried at the Citizens Cemetery in Prescott, Arizona.
