(1) Coral W White (2) McClellan (birth name Willace Warren) Bristow, Ia April 1929 Mrs. G.W. Appleby, wife of our local physician, after ten days of illness, answered the final summons and passed peacefully into the great beyond, last Saturday, April 6. Harriet Ellen Everett, daughter of Jeptha and Roxanna Everett, was born on a farm near Crown Point, Indiana, September 20, 1860, and passed on to the eternal kingdom, April 6, 1929, at Bristow, Iowa, aged 68 years, 6 months, and 16 days. She was one of a family of eight children, six of whom have preceded her in death. In 1877, Nellie, as she was commonly called, was united in marriage with Harrison Post. One son, Audley Eugene, was born to this union. On May 29, 1886, Nellie was married to Dr. G.W. Appleby in Chicago, where they made their home for some time until failing health made the country a more desirable location for the doctor. After spending a few months in the home of the doctor's mother near Geneva, they moved to Latimer, and a little later, to Belmond. In January 1890, they came to Bristow, where they have continuously resided, except about two years at Georgetown, Illinois. Their home was childless, but so great was her mother love and her desire to befriend mankind that she opened her heart and home to a girl and boy, Vere and Everett, caring for them as if they were her own. In this she was ably assisted by her husband. In 1884, Mrs. Appleby was converted in a meeting held in a Chicago Mission, and since that time, she and her husband have been very active in affairs of the church, and have been identified with religious and reform movements wherever they have been located. Her religious life was not of the two hour a week variety. She believed it, talked it, and lived it. Her interest and intense study of the bible made her a very valuable teacher of the women's Bible class of the United Brethren church, of which she was a faithful member. She was particularly helpful as a leader of devotions, and the societies to which she belonged often selected for this service. Her interest in the missionary cause was awakened many years ago and it has increased constantly as she has become more familiar with the needs of the field. She supported a native Bible woman in China for two years and has always been a generous contributor of time and money to the cause. She was one of the charter members of the W.M.A of the U.B. church, was also a member of the W.F.M.S. of the M.E. church and the C.W.B.M. of the Church of Christ. She was also a member of the W.C.T.U. and was treasurer of the local society at the time of her death. She was an active member of the P.T.A. and of the Oak Hill cemetery association. The attendance and responsibilities at times meant great sacrifice but she "carried on" in the noble Christian spirit so characteristic of her. Mrs. Appleby will be greatly missed and dearly remembered by very many of this community. Her home was always open to persons in need of help, and she was always interested in community welfare. Her last illness was of ten days duration, and she felt from the first that she would not recover. Death however held no terror for her as she realized with Paul, that "to be absent from the body was to be present with the Lord." Surviving are the devoted husband, one daughter, Mrs. Vera McClelland, Bristow; two sons, Audley Post, Leroy, Indiana, and Everett Appleby, Cedar Falls; one sister, Mrs. Sarah Greb, Crown Point, Indiana; and seven grandchildren, Donovan Post, St. Paul; Dorothy Post, Crown Point, Indiana, and Warren and Max Post, Leroy, Indiana; Donald White, Ames, and George and Robert Appleby, Cedar Falls. Funeral services on Monday were held at the united Brethren church, the pastor, Rev. W.W. Vine, delivering the sermon, basing his remarks on the 16th Psalm. Rev. M.M. McGlashing, of Green Mountain, offered prayer, Rev. J.J. Gough, read the obituary, and Rev. F. Riggs, of Dumont, read the scripture lesson. A quartette composed of Messrs. W.A. Richards, Vern Surfus, Mrs. Vern Surfus, and Mrs. Sarah Flanigan, with Mrs. C.S. Stweart at the piano, furnished music, singing favorite selections. Mrs. K.D. Rose had charge of the flowers and C.A. Waite looked after the transportation. The pallbearers were C.S. Stewart, W.H. Surfus, R. Behrens, K.D. Rose, F.S. Kilson, and Henry Folkerts. Quite a number of friends accompanied the immediate family and relatives to Hampton, where internment was in the family plot, Mrs. Flanigan and Mrs. Brownell singing at the grave, "Shall We Gather at the River." Those from a distance present at the funeral of Mrs. Appleby were: Everett Appleby, wife and children, Cedar Falls; Donald White, Ames; Mrs. and Mrs. Eli Appleby, Dows; Mrs. and Mrs. Bert Appleby, Geneva; Miss Clara Schroyer, Hampton; Mrs. C. Brownell, Clarksville; Rev. and Mrs. McGlashing and Steve Major and wife, Green Mountain, and numerous friends from Aredale, Dumont, and Allison. School was dismissed for the funeral. Teachers attended in body, as a tribute of respect. Beautiful flowers were in evidence. Contributor: Robert Fahey (47289555) • [email protected]) Lloyd Everett (1896-1962) m.
