L. McBRIDE dies at 60

BATAVIA - LaRue McBRIDE, 60, died at 7:10 p.m. Wednesday at her home three miles southeast of Batavia. She had been in failing health for three years.

Funeral services will be at 1:30 p.m. Saturday at Campbell Funeral Chapel in Batavia with the Rev. Roger Harding officiating. Burial will be in Batavia Cemetery. Visitation will be Friday from 7 to 8:30 p.m. at the funeral chapel. A memorial established to the Cancer Fund.

Mrs. McBRIDE was born Feb. 2, 1921 at Drakesville, the daughter of Raymond and Myrtle CAYTON SHEPHERD, and spent most of her life in Jefferson County. She was a member of Libertyville Brethern (sic - Brethren) Church. She married Chester McBRIDE Sept. 1, 1946. He survives.

Also surviving are two daughters, Nancy LEWIS and Linda BARKER, both of Des Moines; a son, Eugene of Batavia; one granddaughter, one grandson, and her mother of Fairfield. She was preceded in death by her father and one brother.

(I have done extensive research on the McBRIDE family for over 40 years.)

Admin. note: Buried in the New section of the cemetery, in Lot S29. She is listed in our cemetery reading as M. LaRue. Husband Chester died in 2004 and is buried with her.
