Traer Star Clipper, Friday, July 30th, 1943 – page 1
One of the most beloved and useful women in the history of the Traer community was taken Saturday with the passing of Miss Marian Whannel. Death came in the Janssen Convalescent home in Toledo, where she had been a patient during the last five weeks. She had been in failing health more than two years but was not seriously ill until last spring. Every seat on the main floor of the United Presbyterian church in Traer was occupied by her relatives and friends at her funeral Tuesday afternoon. The Rev W. A. Thompson, pastor, conducted the service, assisted by the Rev. Christian Haupt, of Amity. Music was by Marjorie Henry and Rosalie Howard. Casket bearers were Peter, Andrew and Hugh Whannel, Henry J. Whannell, John W. and R. P. Young. Mrs. Robert A. Smith, Miss Ella Clark and Mrs. Dave Wilson had charge of the flowers. Burial was in Buckingham cemetery beside her parents.
Marian Agnes Whannel, youngest daughter of Peter and Janet Whannel, early settlers of North Tama county, was born May 10, 1877, in Crystal township. She attended the rural school in her home community and graduated from Gladbrook high school in 1896. She moved with her parents to Traer from Crystal in 1903, taught school fifteen years, and finally gave up that work to care for her aging parents to the end of their lives. For the past twenty years she and her brother, S. L. Whannel, have lived in the parental home in Traer, At the age of 13 she joined the church at Amity, later transferring her membership to the United Presbyterian church of Traer. She was interested in all church activities and was active as long as health permitted. She was a Sabbath school teacher many years, sang in the church choir, and was superintendent of the Sabbath school for ten years. She loved children and loved to work with them. She was a natural mixer with people and felt that friendship was truly one of the great compensations of life. Her Christian life stands out as a monument. She was preceded in death by her parents, one sister, Mrs. J. R. Henderson, and a half-brother, J. A. Crawford. She is survived by three sisters and two brothers—Mrs. E. H. Houghton, of Tama; Mrs. E. M. Mitchell, of Reinbeck; Mrs. Jessie Houghton, of Brookings, South Dakota; S. L. Whannel, of Traer, and T. A. Whannel of Kimball, Minnesota. She also leaves twenty-nine nieces and nephews, numerous cousins and friends.
