She was born and reared in Page county and lived there until the year 1925 at which time she came to live with her only daughter and son-in-law, Chaplain and Mrs. Ivo G Randels, and consequently has moved about with them as they served the churches in Iowa and Arkansas. On Oct 25, 1892, she was united in marriage to Wm Earnest Laub, who preceded her in death 39 years ago. To this union two children were born, Archie Laub of Coin, Iowa, and Mrs. Flo Randels of 10550-57th Des Moines, Iowa. She confessed her faith in her Lord and Saviour and was baptized in the Christian church in Siam during the pastorate of the Rev. Abner Johnson. Her faith was always warm and living. And as long as she was able she was faithful in her attendance at Sunday school and church services. Her life was a living exemplification of motherly sacrifice and loving labors that extended from children to grandchildren. She was an ideal mother-in-law, never finding fault nor interfering with the running of the home in which she was a welcome and loving guest for almost 18 years. Her voluntary taking over of part of the duties of homemaking made it possible for her daughter Flo to assist her husband in his pastoral work. She had been in failing health for more than a year, and for the last 3 ½ months was bedfast. She was very patient in her illness and gave as little trouble as possible. She enjoyed the many visits of her friends and relatives who came out of respect and affection in her last days. The many letters and cards, which came in such large numbers, always refreshed her spirit. Those who survive her are a daughter, Mrs. Flo Randels, and son-in-law, Chaplain Ivo G. Randels of Des Moines, Ia; a son, Archie Laub, and daughter-in-law, Hallie Laub, of Coin, Ia; three grandsons, Wendell, Hubert and Harmon Randels of Des Moines, Ia; a sister, Mrs. I B Hutchinson of New Market, Ia; two brothers, William McFarland of Blanchard, Ia, and Milton McFarland of Lyons, Kans, besides many other relatives and friends. Funeral services were conducted at Walker’s Funeral Home at 2:30 on Saturday, March 20, 1943, by Ellsworth L Woods, pastor of the Clarinda Church of Christ. Music was provided by Mr and Mrs Stone. Interment was in the Shearer cemetery.
