Rediker and to this union were born five children, Carl of Cheyenne, Wyoming; Mrs. Jessie Elliot, Fort Wayne, Ind.; Joseph, Galesburg; Mrs. Ruth Rue, Kalamazoo, and Mrs. Helen Bale, with whom she made her home here in Lawton, where she passed away April 21. Her husband passed away 35 years ago, leaving her with the care and responsibilities of her five children.
She has been a kind and loving mother and had stayed so young in heart and action that even some of her closest friends thought her many years younger than her age.
For the past several years she had been a practical nurse and had brought cheer and comfort to many homes in this community.
Besides the five children, she leaves eight grandchildren and one great-grandchild a month old. She had two grandsons serving their county, Chief Petty Officer Howard L. Bale, stationed at San Diego, California and Gordon L. Rediker in Burma, neither of whom was able to be present. Services were held from the Cameron chapel Tuesday, Rev. Louis Ellinger officiating. Burial in West Porter cemetery."
