Mrs. Elias Hasting Claimed by Death
Della Mae Ruble, oldest daughter of Henry and Hettie Ruble, was born in Lucas County, Iowa December 17, 1880 and passed alway June 23, 1941 at the age of 60 years six months and six days. She joined the United Brethren near Norwood when she was thirteen, and has been a fine example of a Christian woman. She has many acquaintances and friends and no service was too great or sacrifice too much for her to make for them. On February 17, 1899 she was married to Elias Halting. They spent 34 years together and he passed away February 9, 1933. To this union five children were born: Mrs. Roy Chumbley of New Viginia; Mrs. Dewey Kennedy and Earl Hasting of Indianola and Harold of Liberty Center. One daughter, Mrs. Reta Thorn, passed away January 22, 1937. The children were at her bedside constantly during her last illness which was of eight weeks duration. Everything that could be done for her comfort and relief was done, but the Lord saw best to take her home to rest.
Besldes her children, she leaves to Mourn her death 13 grandchildren, two great grandchildren, two sisters, Mrs. Maud Halterman of Carlisle, and Mrs. Cora Wood of Martensdale, and four brothers, Harry and Freeman of Woodburn, Laurence and Perry of Lucas, besides other close relatives and friends. One granddaughter, Irene Marie Chumbley, preceded her in death.
We have lost our darling mother. She has bid us all adieu.
She has gone to live in heaven and her form is lost to view.
Oh that dear one, how we loved her, Oh how hard to give her up.
But an angel came down for her and removed her from our flock.
Card of Thanks: To all the dear friends and neighbors who so kindly expressed their sympathy and assisted us at the death of our mother we extend our heartfelt thanks and appreciation.
