Thursday, May 16, 1968

Pearl Madge Ashba, daughter of Thomas and Jane Nevins Ashba, was born at Russell on Nov. 22, 1883 and departed this life on May 8, 1968, at the age of 84 years, five months and 16 days. She was one of ten children, all of whom preceded her in death.

On March 29, 1903, she was married to Albert Raymond Goltry who preceded her in death on April 24, 1962. She was also preceded in death by one grandchild, Josephine Leigh Goltry, in 1934.

She is survived by all five of their children, Keith of Fairfield, Mrs. Beryle Cole of Chula Vista, Calif., Mrs. Lucille Carlson of Des Moines, and Mrs. Margaret Dillman and Martha Goltry of Russell.

In addition to the five children, she is survived by five grandchildren, Marjorie Goltry of New York City, Thomas S. Goltry of Fort Atkinson, Wisc., Mrs. Judith Waddle of Monroe, Jeanette Dillman with Project HOPE in Colombo, Ceylon, and Jerry Dillman of Ames. She is also survived by three great-grandchildren; Katherine Elaine and Nelda Jean Waddle and Scott Thomas Goltry. With those who mourn her passing are a brother-in-law, Frank Corothon of Buena Vista, Colo., three sons-in-law, Wally Cole, Verne Carlson, and Loren Dillman, one daughter-in-law, Nelle Coop Goltry, one grandson-in-law, Dwight Waddle and one granddaughter-in-law, Carol Reese Goltry.

Mrs. Goltry and her husband lived on the farm until 1938, when they moved to Russell where she has resided since. She passed away at the same place where she was born.

She was baptized in the First Baptist Church of Russell when young. She graduated from the Russell High School in the class of 1901. She was a charter member of the WHO Club in her rural neighborhood, and she was a member of the Wayside Garden Club which she joined in 1932. She was a great lover of nature in its many forms, especially flowers and the night sky, and until her recent illness she was an avid reader with a wide range of interests.

Mom's gone.

No other words can bring a choked up throat, the heart ache and despair of those two words, Mom's gone. But in the last long weeks she was given a great measure of tender loving care.

Dear heart, your journey is finished;
Your pain and suffering are o'er.
An empty void dwells in our hearts
And will forever more.

Your days are done, your good deeds stand,
A lasting inspiration;
May we who live uphold your faith-
Your memory, our consolation.

Funeral services were held at the Woodman Funeral Home Saturday, May 11 at 2 p.m., with the Rev. Edward English officiating. Interment was at the Russell Cemetery.
