Florence Zerbe
Florence Zerbe, 92, mother of Augusta Daily Gazette publisher Carter J. Zerbe, died today, Oct. 11,2002.
Funeral arrangements were pending this morning at the Dunsford Funeral Home of Augusta.
Florence had been part of the Augusta community for more than 40 years. She was active in business, her church, and enjoyed her family.
She was edi-
tor of the Women’s Page at newspapers in Iowa as well as the Augusta Daily Gazette. Her editorial endeavors often earned awards from the Kansas Press Association.
Her active journalism career spanned the days of handset type to computerized typesetting. She enjoyed visiting with and writing about the “comings and goings” of Augustans.
For many years she lived in her home on Augusta Avenue in the Meadowview Acres Addition. A few years ago, she relocated to
the Cottonwood Point retirement complex.
She was a schoolteacher in the days of the “one-room schoolhouse” and taught at a rural school in Kossuth County, Iowa, before teaching at a “town school.” As a rural school teacher, she was responsible for firing up the schoolhouse stove before students arrived and shutting it down along with janitorial work after the students were gone for the day.
She was united in marriage June 18, 1935 at Algona, Iowa, to Daniel John “Jack” Zerbe at the home of her parents.
Following their marriage, the Zerbes lived in Wesley, Iowa, where they owned and published The Wesley News World, a small weekly newspaper.
In 1939, Florence and Jack purchased a larger weekly at Winfield, Iowa.
After selling the Winfield newspaper, the Zerbe family moved to Kansas and he became managing editor of The Augusta Daily Gazette.
The Zerbes became sole owners of the newspaper in 1963 following the death of Bert Shore.
