Casket bearers were Lloyd Mendenhall, Lloyd Berry, Walter Cook, Loren McCauley, Arthur and Carl Speer. Interment was in the Bear Creek cemetery.
Fae Bland, youngest daughter of William Gilmore and Rebecca Bland, was born August 11, 1900, at the farm home near Prole, Warren Co., Iowa.
She attended country school when a girl. Later her parents moved to Indianola where she served as telephone operator for some length of time.
She was an active member of the Christian Endeavor Society and for some time was pianist at the Indianola Friends church.
On February 24, 1932, she was married to Earl Hadley. A son, Leland Earl, was born to them on August 11, 1939.
The family moved from Warren County to Earlham in 1941. In 1946 they purchased the home in Dexter which was their residence when her husband Earl passed away suddenly on November 20, 1951. Following her husband’s death Fae and Leland continued to make their home here, making it an attractive place with well kept lawn, flowers and garden. Her interest was largely centered in her home and the welfare of her only son.
She was a member of the Bear Creek Friends church, the Missionary Society and the Athenian Sunday school class.
She had been in failing health for several months but death came unexpectedly at the Lutheran hospital in Des Moines on March 26 at the age of 55 years, 7 months and 15 days.
She is survived by her son Leland, three step daughters, Margaret Harvery, Maxine Carter and Eleanor Burton; also five sisters, Hattie Carpenter and Ada Berry of Indianola; Vina Speer of Des Moines; Lizzie Bland of Winterset and Lena McCully of Murray, besides many nieces and nephews. Her eldest sister, Nellie Speer and only brother, Fred, preceded her in death.
