“Mable Olive Wallace was born near Weldon, Clarke County, Iowa June 16th, 1904 and departed this life after a lingering illness at the Decatur County Hospital Oct 13, 1939 at the age of 35 years 4 month and 27 days. She was the youngest child of Frank C. and Siddie F. Wallace and grew to maturity at the place of her birth, attending school at the Hebron school and Sunday school and church at the Hebron church. It was at this church in early life that Mable made the “Good Confession” under the ministry of Rev. Larrick and lived a noble Christian life until her departure. She was employed as a secretary at Shenandoah, Iowa for some time before her marriage to Clarence O. Chambers May 23, 1932. To this union two children were born, Fred Wallace and Robert Keith who died in infancy.

She leaves to mourn her early passing, her devoted husband, one son, her mother, four brothers: Lloyd M. and Leland S. of Weldon, Iowa; Frankie E. of Osceola, Iowa, Dace D. of Salem, Oregon; and one sister, Ada C. of Weldon, Iowa. Her father and an infant sister, Consula, preceded her in death.

Mable was a woman of splendid character, a loving wife, a true mother, a most loyal friend, and while her life on earth was short, she left memories which will remain with us and grow sweeter at the years go by.

The funeral was held Sunday afternoon at two o’clock Oct. 15, 1939 in the Methodist church in Weldon, conducted by her pastor Rev. Myrtle Wolde-Cox. Interment made in the Hebron Cemetery.” (Shared by Sherryll Wallce.)
