Obituary extracted from the Wayne County Press 4/18/1943:
Mrs. Viola English of Hastings, Nebraska died at her daughter's in Los Angeles. She was the oldest daughter of John Hubble. She moved from here 30 years ago. Leaves 2 children.
Note: there is no death record under this name in the California death index.

There is no last name on the stone here in ancestry. Sarah Viola is buried next to her sister, Vesta (Hubble) Clutter. Since she appears to have married several times and all names in the married name field are now individually searchable, I have included all 3 verified names in that field.

From Illinois Statewide Marriage Index:
Walter E. Padgett married VIola S. Hubble 7/16/1898 in Clay County Illinois.

A second record in the Illinois Marriage record on ancestry.com indicates that Viola (Hubble) Paget (25) married John Harris (43) 3/19/1905 in Clay County, Illinois.

Her father's obituary in 1942 indicates that her name was "Viola English of Hastings, Nebraska."

In 1920 Sarah V. English, 37, divorced, is living in Nebraska with daughter Edna, 14, and what appears to be a son, Ernest L. English, 17. She is the housekeeper and the children are listed as roomers.

In 1930, Violet, 46, widowed, and Ardus J., 7, are living in Hastings, Nebraska.

In 1940, Viola English, 57, b. Illinois, widowed, living in Hastings, Adams County, Nebraska, with a granddaughter, Ardis, 17, and daughter, Edna Shirely (or Shively), 35 and son-in-law, Charles, 38.

Edna appears to be the daughter of John Harris, although in most records she is listed as "English". Edna and Ardis/Ardus were both born in NB in the census records, although in the 1920 record Edna and Ernest were born in Illinois.
