Obituary
Maggie Hevlin Ver Heul was born September 3, 1881 in Marion county near Monroe. She was one of 12 children born to her parents, George Hevlin and Rebecca Roush Hevlin.
She was preceded in death by her parents, four sisters and four brothers.
She was united in marriage on March 4, 1915 to Charles Ver Heul in Newton and they were the parents of three children, Forrest Guy; Olive Juanita and Charles Burton, who with her husband survive her.
Also surviving her are one sister, Mrs. Rachel Robinson of Newton; two brothers, Fred Hevlin of Monroe and Vern Hevlin of Knoxville; and a host of nieces and nephews, friends and neighbors by whom she will be sadly missed.
After her marriage to Charles Ver Heul in 1915, they established their own home and lived near Monroe for two years and then moved near Mitchellville. They spent most of their lives farming, which she loved.
She welcomed into her home along with her husband and two older children, her sister, Jeanetta, after the death of their parents. They all had a happy home, where she was called “Aunt Nettie” and passed away March 3, 1923.
Fifteen years ago she developed a bad heart condition and then turned to those she loved to lean upon, still working all she could each day.
Her friends and family loved to tease and play little “jokes” for which they knew they would receive a very affectionate scolding.
About a year ago she developed an illness of a very serious nature and since that time, friends, family and neighbors have spent every day and hour to make things as easy as possible for her. She never complained of her illness but leaned on those around her for help and affection, which she received until her last moment.
She loved her family, her home was her first and last consideration.
