Hadsell, Mrs. Dale (Elsie Mae Miller)

Had Been In Hospital But One Week. Funeral Services Held Wednesday Afternoon.

Mrs. Dale Hadsall, 52, died about 3:15 Sunday afternoon at the Lutheran hospital in Des Moines where she had been taken the week previous for treatment and observation. Death was caused from inward hemorrhaging thought to have been caused from high blood pressure, with which she had been troubled for some time. While she had not realized all that was going on about her most of the week, she was much better Sunday afternoon and recognized all of her family who were with her from two to three o'clock previous to her death, and when they left she seemed to be feeling much better.

She was active in all that was for the betterment of her community and was a kind and loving wife and mother and a good neighbor.

Elsie Mae Miller, daughter of Frank and Emma Miller was born on the 9th day of October in the year 1894 in Jasper County near Mingo, Iowa, and passed from us at the Iowa Lutheran Hospital on Sunday afternoon, May 4th, 1947. Her age at the time of her death was 52 years, 6 months and 25 days.

At the age of 15 she moved with her parents to the Henry Beard place southwest of Colfax, Ia. On February 4th, 1915, she was united in marriage to Dale Hadsall of Colfax and to this union was born three children. Mrs. Hadsall was a member of the Baptist Church and was active in the choir during the years of her youth. She leaves to hold the memory of her life, her husband, Dale Hadsall, her children, Helen Grace Tiffany of Colfax, Iowa, Frances Dale Hadsall also of Colfax and Charles Ray Hadsall at home. She is survived by her mother, Mrs. Emma Miller of Perry, Iowa; three sisters, Mrs. Clara Masterson of Des Moines, Iowa, Mrs. Hazel Peterson of Des Moines, Iowa and Mrs. Mary Curtis of Burlington, Iowa. Three brothers, John Miller of Truro, Iowa, Raymond Miller and Earl Miller both of Perry, Iowa; 4 nieces and 5 nephews and two grandchildren, Margaret Louise Tiffany and Vicki Hadsall.

Her father and three brothers Harold, Charles and Elmer and one sister Minnie Miller preceded her in death.

She will long be remembered for her kindly benevolence and care in providing for her family, which has endeared her to each of them. Her cooperative, yet quiet interest in the affairs of her community as a wife and mother speak for themselves.

MOTHER

A bit of Heavens' in her eyes,
Because God put it there.
The silver lining of the clouds,
He placed amidst her hair.
A thoughtfulness and kindliness,
He did to her impart.

A way of understanding things,
He planted in her heart.
He gifted her with courage
And with godliness so fine.
Then placed His hand in Mother's,
And her hand into mine.
--Martina M. Thompson
