She had been ill for many months and had been a patient at the hospital the last five months. In addition to teaching in many of the county’s rural schools, Miss Trueblood taught at Salt Lake City, Utah. For many years she was the Denova or South Tippecanoe correspondent for the Mt. Pleasant News. She has no immediate survivors. Her foster parents, Mr. and Mrs. Nate Trueblood, preceded her in death. The funeral will be held Monday afternoon [September 10, 1945] at Cedar Creek Church north of Salem. Rev. Pierson will officiate. -- The Mt. Pleasant News, September 8, 1945, page 1. In the recent death of Miss Dora Trueblood, this newspaper lost its oldest rural correspondent. We are not sure how long Miss Trueblood wrote for the News, but it must have been between 40 and 45 years. She lived with her foster parents in the Denova community and her notes were long familiar to the readers of our daily and weekly editions as “Denova Notes”. Miss Trueblood never got away from the pen and pencil and wrote a beautiful Spencerian script. In later years she dropped her Denova Notes as the post office was suspended, but until a few weeks before her death constantly brought, or sent to the office, items of news. For some years she rented her fine 80 acre farm on the Salem prairie, but lived at the old home; later she left the farm and lived here, at Hillsboro, and other places, but was always homesick for the old home farm. Old timers will remember Denova, with its general store. It was a station on the old K Line and a post office. Today the store, the post office, and even the railroad are but memories. All gone but the Cedar Creek Church and its burying ground where Miss Trueblood sleeps among the friends of the old Denova days. -- The Bystander’s Notes, The Mt. Pleasant News, September 17, 1945, page 2.
