Mrs. J. F. Tate
Helen Marion Maltby was born November 8, 1858, at Denmark, New York, and died twenty minutes to nine, Friday morning, December 14, 1928.
On December 1, 1881, she was united in marriage to J. F. Tate, with whom she walked life's pilgrim way for 47 years and who now survives her. Besides the bereaved husband, seven children mourn her loss. They are Glen of Sioux City; Dean of Fordson, Michigan; John, Horace and Laura of Winterset; Mrs. Mabel Myers of Iowa City, and Gertrude of Des Moines. In addition to these might be added 3 grandchildren, Mary Louise and Helen Tate and Phyllis G. Myers, and a host of relatives and friends, who sorrow because of her passing.
In 1882 Mrs. Tate accepted Jesus Christ as her personal Savior and was baptized into the fellowship of the First Baptist church of Winterset, and has since that time been a faithful follower of her Savior, whom she loved and served. Mrs. Tate took an active interest in the affairs of her church and for many years taught the Philathes Bible class, all the members of which feel keenly the loss of so faithful and capable a teacher.
In her earlier life, Mrs. Tate taught school at Macksburg, in the rural districts and in the local high school.
At the time of her death she was a member of the library board and of the Current Topic Literary club.
Mrs. Tate was a good wife and mother, reigning with quiet grace in her home, a kind neighbor and faithful friend, and in her going from earth to heaven, her family, her friends, her church and her community have met with an irreparable loss.
She has left behind an influence never to be forgotten by those who loved and knew her, and to those who still tarry here, a worthy example to follow.
