Obituary in the Stark County News, Wednesday, August 6, 1913. Mrs. Irvin Ingles. The news of the death of Mrs. Irvin Ingles, which occurred Thursday afternoon, came as a shock to the people of our village where the deceased was held in universal self esteem and the sympathy of the community goes out to the bereaved husband and the sons deprived of a mother's love and care. Mrs. Cora Rosella Ingels, daughter of Aaron and Hattie Garner, was born in Toulon, Illinois 31 May 1867. When a child she moved with her parents to Bates County, Missouri. She united with the Christian church at Virginia, Bates County, Missouri at the age of sixteen. She taught school in Missouri, later returning to Toulon and lived with her cousin, Miss Ella Williams, a year or more, there she made many friends. Afterwards she went to Oklahoma and taught near Stillwater for six years. She was married at the home of her sister, Mrs. Henderson, at Stillwater, Oklahoma, to Irvin Ingles 21 February 1904. To this union were born three children, two boys, Robert and Corliss and one girl, Evelyn who died at the age of 17 months. Besides the husband, there survive her two little sons, six stepchildren, her mother, Mrs. Hattie Garner, of Amsterdam, Missouri, two sisters, Mrs. Carrie Henderson, and Mrs. Martha Famuliner, of Butler, Missouri and three brothers, Lewis of Butler, Missouri, Grant of Amsterdam, Missouri and Elmer of Amoret, Missouri. Mrs. Ingles had been in failing [health] during the last year but had grown rapidly worse during the last month and was taken to the St. Francis Hospital at Kewanee 24 July and submitted to a very severe operation on the 29th, from which she did not recover, passing away July 1. [August 1]. The funeral was held at the Christian Church Saturday, 2 August at 10 a.m., the pastor, Professor Gray, of Eureka College and Mr. Lee, pastor of the Methodist Episcopal Church officiating. The relatives in attendance from a distance were a nephew, Herbert Henderson, of Indianapolis, Indiana; a cousin Mrs. Jennie Green and family, of Kewanee, Illinois; E.L. Willett, of Norwalk, Iowa; W. E. Willett, of Cummings, Iowa; S.E. Callison and daughter, Jessie of Toulon; Miss Ada Ingels, of St. Paul, Minnesota; Mrs. Gold Osterberg and husband, of Williamsfield; Mr. and Mrs. A.J.

Gorham and family, of Galva, were also among the friends who gathered to pay their last tribute to the dead. Interment was in the La Fayette cemetery. Mrs. Ingels was the president of the local W.C.T.U. and was interested in all work for the good of the community. She was prominent in church work, being a teacher in the Sunday school of the Christian church. She was a true helpmate to her husband, a loving and tender mother, and a noble Christian woman. Among the many beautiful floral tributes was one from the W.C.T.U. and one from the Christian church. The pallbearers were Frank Quinn, Elmer Snyder, Alva Janes, Richard Gibbs, William Milliken and Allen Atherton.
