"Cheerful Shut-In Dead
Jessie Elizabeth Haverstick had a happy view of life and loved to express it by singing at her work. Even though she had been a shut-in five years, she retained her love of church music until her death at 81 yesterday in her home, 1963 N. Tacoma.
For 65 years Mrs. Haverstick had been a member of Roosevelt Temple Methodist Church. For at least 50 years she had sung in its choir. She had taught a Sunday school class, worked with the Epworth League and was a member of the Woman's Society of Christian Service.
With a daughter and a sister, Mrs. Haverstick often joined in singing of hymns as she did her household chores. She was familiar with, and particularly fond of, old-time hymns. She had an old-fashioned organ on which she could accompany family get-togethers in song.
Born at East St. Louis, Ill, Mrs. Haverstick had lived in Indianapolis since she was 13, all of the time in the North Tacoma community. Her husband, James Haverstick, who died in 1933, was a carpenter.
Services will be at 10 a.m. Friday in Shirley Brothers Drexel Chapel, with burial in Crown Hill Cemetery.
Survivors are three sons, Claude M. and Walter Haverstick, Indianapolis, and James E. Haverstick, Gatlinburg, Tenn; two daughters, Mrs. Bruce Castetter and Lois Kirkman, and a sister, Mrs. George Shearer, Indianapolis; a brother, C. H. (Dick) Phillips, Wichita, Kas.; 15 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren."
