Lela Headings, daughter of Levi and Rebecca (Knepp) Kanagy, was born in Logan County, Ohio, February 6, 1891; died July 15, 1957, at the Mary Rutan Hospital, Bellefontaine, Ohio; aged 66 years, 5 months, 9 days. On September 12, 1915, she was married to Milton Headings, who survives with 7 of the 8 children born to them: Harley, Sanford, Howard, Mrs. Dorothy Nell Overholt, all of West Liberty, Ohio; Eugene, Marengo, Ohio; Robert, Urbana, Ohio; and Ionabel Boshart, Milverton, Ontario, Canada. A son, Joe, and a brother, George, preceded her in death. Also surviving are 24 grandchildren, and 7 brothers and sisters: Glenn, Bellefontaine, Ohio; Mrs. Laurie Plank, Bremen, Ohio; Mrs. Lizzie Yoder, Urbana, Ohio; Jake, Mrs. Saloma Thoman, Mrs. Rebecca Hostetler and Mrs. Ella Yoder, all of West Liberty, Ohio. She united with the South Union Church in 1906; in 1917 she with her family moved to the Oak Grove congregation where she attended faithfully until death. Three years ago she suffered a paralytic stroke while with her husband in Maryland. This left her partially paralyzed. A year later she had another stroke from which she recovered. Five weeks ago she fell, fracturing her hip, but seemed to be recovering rapidly when, on July 11, she suffered a cerebral hemorrhage which, with other complications, resulted in her death. As long as she was able, she traveled with her husband to out-of-the-way places in Maryland, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania conducting Bible school. She cared for the small children of mothers who assisted in teaching. Funeral services were held at the Oak Grove Church on July 18, Nelson Kanagy officiating, assisted by Eli Nissley. Interment was made in the South Union Cemetery.
