Charles Crook, her father, build a house there, 1/2 mile south of Mt. Pisgah Church for his third wife, Elizabeth (Holeman) Beaver Crook; her daughter, Margaret Myrila (Beaver-Crook) Henderson, & his daughters, Sarah Ruth (Crook) McFadzen, and Rachel Elizabeth (Crook) Patterson. Charles Edwin Crook, Allen Crook, Pearl Crook, Trixie (Crook) Clevenger were all buried there. They were all Christian people. The house there burned, so then Charles got a job spraying fruit trees at Willow Springs, Missouri. They all moved by covered wagon 300 miles to Willow Springs. Ruth & Margaret picked stringbeans and strawberries for 40 cents a day. Charles built another house, but it also burned leaving the family penniless. Charles found a job as janitor at the Ankeny School House in Ankeny, Iowa. From there the family moved to a farm run by Charles Delp. Mr. Delp was a very good man. Elizabeth, Ruth's mother, passed away there of an apparent heart attack and was taken to Waukee, Iowa, for burial. Margaret went to Allen & Mabel Johnson's to live around Dallas Center, Iowa. Ruth stayed with the Charles Delp family for awhile long and graduated from 8th grade at Great Oak Township when she was 12. Charles Delp then moved to Fenton, Iowa. Ruth was to come to Plover to live with her Aunt Ina Miller and with Margaret, her half-sister. Aunt Ina and Uncle Elmer operated a little restaurant in Plover and later in Havelock, Iowa. The girls helped out in the restaurant in return for a place to call home. I, Charles McFadzen, went up to Fenton, Iowa, and got her to come to Plover. Things started up then. I knew she was the girl for me that very day. That was September 1922. Ruth married Charles McFadzen in June 1926. We became Christian people led by Charles E. Fuller of the "OLD FASHIONED BIBLE HOUSE" on the radio. We lived that way for 60 years. She was taken home to Jesus in 1986. I have been at the Manor here in Pocahontas, for 3 years. She was a very loving wife. I miss her very much.
