DEATH TAKES MRS. J.B. RUST-Well Known Beloved Cle Elum Woman in the Flower of Her Womanhood Suddenly Stricken
One of the saddest deaths that has ever occurred in this community was that of Mrs. Amy Rust, Monday, August 20th, at the hospital. Due to her happy disposition and unbounded energy, not even her most intimate friends realized that her health had been steadily failing for the past several months, and when her untimely death occurred it came as a shock to the entire community.
Mrs. Rust was a devoted wife and a loving mother, and only those who knew her best realized the depth of her sterling character.
Mr. and Mrs. Rust came to Cle Elum five years ago and have since made it their home, during which time they have made scores of friends who sympathize with the bereaved husband in his hour of sorrow. So suddenly did the end come, that Mr. Rust was the only member of the family present at the time of her death.
Amy Cummings Rust was born October 15, 1886, at Castle Rock, Washington to Alphaus and Mary Cummings. She was married March 13, to Jay Brunson Rust, besides whom she leaves two sons; Lewis Barkla, and her baby son, eleven months old; her mother, Mary Cummings, three sisters; Mrs. Verna Jeanneret, Mrs. May Jeanneret, and Mrs. Naomi Kiffer, all of Colville; and two brothers, J.A. Cummings of Cusick, Washington and Louis J Cummings of Seattle.
With the death of Mrs. Rust, the community has lost a noble woman and her loss will be keenly felt by those who knew and loved her.
The funeral was held yesterday afternoon at the Methodist Church, with which Mrs. Rust had been affiliated all her life. The auditorium was filled by relatives and friends who came to pay their last respects and the altar was piled high with floral tributes of all sizes and forms, the last loving offerings. Among them a beautiful floral piece from the Cle Elum Kiwanis Club of which Mr. Rust is vice president. Many members of the club attended in a body.
The programs at the church consisted of a song by the ladies' choir, "Some Day the Silver Chord will Break," a sermon and prayer by Reverend Shriver, and a closing song by the choir, "Lead Kindly Light." As the congregation filed from the church an instrumental selection, "Abide with Me," was played. In his sermon Reverend Shriver emphasized the brevity of life and the urgent need of preparation for that time of transition which must come to all. Pall bearers officiating at the funeral were B.C. Purple, R.H. Stevens, Louis Frank, G.I. Wilson, N.P. Woods and I.G. Nicholson.
