Her funeral service held at the United Church of Christ in Springfield; burial in the Pioneer Cemetery, rural Avon. Ruby F. (Baker) Hornstra was born at Springfield, SD to Royal M. and Fern (Warren) Baker on December 21, 1910. She was one of nine children. Members of her family were: Ruth, Mable, Ruby, Mildred, Rachael, Robert, Miner, Mary and Zella. Another child, Ted Moore, was living in their haystack. He had run away from home in Boston. Ted was taken into the home and raised with the other children. She married Fred J. Hornstra on November 19, 1929. They purchased the family homestead, that had been in the generations of the Hornstra family since 1875, from Hudson and Jennie Hornstra in 1942. They farmed this for more than 60 years. Nine children were born to their union. On July 10, 2002, Ruby sold the farm to Charles and Joan Hornstra. This historic signing took place on the farm. A quill was used to denote the passing from the old to the new. This completed a goal of keeping the farm in the family. Ruby died September 26, 2004, at the age of 93 years, nine months and five days. Thankful for having shared her life are her children: Fred (Ila) of Yankton; Norma (Jimmy) Henriksen of Long Island, NY; Audry (Ken) Foley of Papillion, NE; Darrell (Libbie) of Mechanicsville, VA; Charles (Joan) of Los Angeles, CA; Barbara Allen of Weston, TX; Beverly (Jerry) Smith of Albuquerque, NM; and Mary (Doug) Karlson of Fontana, CA; 17 grandchildren; 27 great-grandchildren; two sisters: Rachael Baker and Mary Mascari; and many relatives and friends.
