Lena Harriet Wadsworth was born at Fremont, Nebraska on July 15, 1892 and passed from this life at the Jennie Edmundson hospital, Council Bluffs, Tuesday morning on September 24, 1929 at the age of 37 years, 2 months and 9 days.
She lived most of her life in Nebraska except for a period when she was in the employ of the Superintendent of the Rosebud Indian Reservation in South Dakota, along with her younger sister, Maude Wadsworth. Lena was confirmed as a member of the Episcopalian church.
In the fall of 1912 she was united in marriage to Charles U. Lary, moving to a farm west of Dunlap. To this union eight children were born. They are Virginia, Virgil, Henry, Dorothy, Paul, Guy, Raymond, Robert and Roy Frederick, the latter preceding his mother in death by one day, and was buried Wednesday, September 25. Also preceding her in death were her parents; Carrie Blele and Wilson Wadsworth, her brother; William whom died in World War I on October 31, 1918.
Besides her husband and seven living children, she leaves to mourn her death one brother, Clyde Wadsworth of Dunlap, and one sister, Mrs Maude (Richard) Larson of Panama, Iowa.
Words cannot express the shock that has come to this family and to the community because a mother has been suddenly removed from a large family of children, who need a mother's love, care, advice and supervision so much.
The funeral services were held at the Methodist church in Dunlap, Iowa last Thursday September 26 at 2:30 p.m. conducted by the minister, the Rev. Albert B. Adams, while undertaker Jackson had charge of the burial services. The funeral was very well attended, while the flowers testified to the love and esteem in which Lena Lary held.
Interment was made at Pleasant Hill Cemetery in Dunlap, Iowa.
***Note***
Lena was my great aunt and was killed in an auto accident and efforts to save her unborn son were unsuccessful. The accident was caused by a car parked on the Lincoln highway with all its lights out. The Larys were driving east just south of Woodbine, Iowa on their way home when they were blinded by the lights of a third car coming in the opposite direction. Charles Lary who was driving his car failed to see the parked car on the side of the road until he was almost up to it. He quickly swerved to pass to one side of the parked car but before he could get back on the right side of the highway, the second car crashed into his car. These were three college students on their way to Leland Stanford University in Palo Alto, California. They were taken to Omaha hospital where they recovered. The occupants of the parked car were never learned, as the car immediately drove away after the crash.
