OBIT:

"Alvin Woman Dead at 73"

Hettie E. Green

For the past 60 years a resident of the Alvin community, Mrs. Hettie E. Green, 73, widow of Charles E. Green, died at her home in Alvin at 6:25 p.m. Friday, Nov, 22, 1940, following an extended illness.

Daughter of Samuel and Mary Moyer Mack, she was born Feb. 14, 1867 in Bluffton, Ind. She was a member of St. Paul's Catholic church of this city and of the church Sanctuary Society.

Surviving are five sons, all of Alvin, Charles, Daniel, Donald, Samuel and Lawrence Green; four daughters, Mrs. Forrest Poland, Foxworth, Miss., Mrs. Hardy Drullinger, Carrollton, Ohio, Mrs. Earl Drullinger, Danville, and Mrs. Maurice Wilson, Alvin; 24 grandchildren; and one sister, Mrs. Sovilla Crandall, Alvin. Her husband proceeded her in death in July 1927 and a son, Louis, died five years ago.

The body was removed to Berhalter Funeral Home and Saturday afternoon was returned to residence to remain until time of services at 9:30 a.m. Monday at St. Paul's Catholic Church. The Right Rev. W.J. Drummy, pastor, will officiate. Burial will be in Bethel Cemetery, north of Alvin.

Rosary will be recited at residence at 8 p.m. Sunday.

Clarice Anges Green Drullinger stated that her Grandpa Mack was married a second time to a Sarah Ellen Bridges, and now I find this is probably correct. However, the newspaper obit for Mrs. Samuel Mack, list's her name as Sarah., date of death being the year 1905, the year that Mary was to have died.

Update:

In the 1910 Verm/Ross Twp./IL. Census:

Samuel Mack      Head      M      W      86      M2      2      PA.      PA.      PA.      English      farmer

Sarah Mack         Wife      F        W      61      M4      2      IN.      PA.      PA.      English

Therefore Samuel did remarry in 1908 to Sarah Ellen Bridges, this being her 4th marriage. She had 8 children with 3 still living according to the census.
