Article regarding Fred's death (paper unknown - Poplar Bluff, Missouri):
ESSEX FARMER 76, VICTIM OF HYDROPHOBIA
Doctors Diagnose Case Soon After Man Brought Here - First Case Seen Locally
LITTLE HOPE FOR THE MAN'S RECOVERY
Hydrophobia Always Proven Fatal Once It Gets Hold Of Victim, They Say
  Fred Mayberry, aged 76, farmer living near Essex, was brought to the Brandon Hospital in Poplar Bluff today suffering from what doctors who have examined him diagnose as an advanced case of hydrophobia.  Doctors stated also that it was the first case they have ever seen where a human suffered from the disease, which is known to be fatal.  There is no cure for hydrophobia, according to experts.
  Mr. Mayberry, it is stated, goes into convulsions even at the sight of water.  Cold air, bright lights, and unusual noises also cause him to have convulsions of the throat and chest.  Water particularly, according to doctors, causes the convulsions.  The word "hydrophobia" means "fear of water", and was the name given to the disease suffered chiefly by dogs and occasionally some other animals, because of the fear they have of water when the disease grips them.
  Mayberry was bitten by his own dog four months ago.  The bite was only a slight wound and the farmer paid little attention to it at the time.  He said it healed quickly.  After the dog bit Mayberry, it disappeared, he said, and he believed some neighbor killed it.  However, he was unable to trace the animal.
  Under ordinary conditions, the doctors at Brandon hospital said, hydrophobia develops in from three to twelve weeks from the time of the bite.  However, records show it has developed within a years time.
  Last Monday, Mayberry suffered illness, the first symptoms of his present ailment.  He had a hard chill and fever and his condition continually grew worse.  He has had no water since that time.
  Mayberry and his wife came to Stoddard County from Hamilton County, Ill., in 1900.  They have no children.  Mrs. Mayberry was at her husband's bedside this afternoon.

Noted in The Complete History of Butler County Missouri:
 "In November of 1934, Fred Mayberry, 76, a farmer near Essex, died of rabies in a Poplar Bluff hospital.  Many doctors came there to study his case."

The death certificate for Fred shows his name spelled Maberry and buried in Bluff Cemetery.  Fred and Laura are actually buried in Bloomfield Cemetery and the spelling of the surname on their gravestone is Mabery.  Their Twin daughters, Opel L. and Okel L., are buried in Bluff Cemetery with their surname also spelled Mabery.  

Ben Ross, the son of Louis and Eliza Ross,  was raised by Fred and Laura and is buried next to them in Bloomfield Cemetery.
