Friday December 20 Mrs. Mary Trusdale This week witnessed the close of a very interesting and useful life, when Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Trusdale passed away at the Eastern Star Home here in Arlington. She was so quiet and unassuming that few realized what a rich life she had lived. She was born in England at Manchester. And though she had been in America for many years, and loved America as her home, her heart often turned to England and her own people in these troubled days. She had a sister, a nurse, and several nephews in the war, and was naturally greatly disturbed in their behalf. For several months she had been seriously ill and unable to see her friends or attend her church. She was an active member of the Presbyterian church and as long as her health would permit a regular attendant in the Loyalty Sunday School class of which she was a member. Miss Cora Posey, worthy grand secretary of the Order of the Eastern Star of Texas gives these interesting facts about her varied and useful life both in England and in America: Mrs. Trusdale served ten years as Governess in the family of the Arch Bishop of Canterbury. During this time she traveled widely with the children. She made six trips to America, on her last trip (the eleventh time to cross the Atlantic Ocean) it was understood that she was to remain in America, which she did; remaining in Galveston while the rest of the Arch Bishop's party sailed for England. She married soon after this and has lived in America ever since. It was interesting to hear her speak of her childhood's home in England which she described as a small stone house with very thick walls, which was perched high on a cliff overlooking the sea. Mrs. Trusdale was initiated into the Order of the Easter Star by Mizpah Chapter No. 2, Galveston, on May 24, 1921. She later moved to Fort Worth and was affiliated with Keystone Chapter No. 9, on March 25, 1921. She was a very active member of this chapter and filled many different stations in the chapter. For some time she was also active in the Sunshine Circle and had a number of small girls under her direction. One of these girls was Ginger Rogers of whom Mrs. Trusdale said, "Her little feet kept time to the rhythm of her heart even in those pinafore days." Another of that group was the little Ruth Googins who is now Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt. Sorrow came into her life, her health gave way and it became necessary for her to enter the Eastern Star Home. She brought to her new method of life a high courage, refusing to give way to sorrow, she bravely began readjusting her life to her surroundings. She loved flowers and took over the care of the rose gardens and shrubs of the Home and made them her constant care until failing health forced her to keep to her room. Friday December 20 SUBLETT Annie Leath We wish to extend our sympathy to the family of the late Mr. Charlie Coleman.
