"Aunt" Ellen took a great interest in the work of the church and was particularly active in the Sunday School, where she almost always had a class, many of the men and women here today in their youth having beenin one of her classes, and can recall her gentle manner, and thorough Christian character.
She was the last member of her father's family to answer the call of the "Grim Reaper" and at her death was the oldest member of the church.She died on September 9, 1932, aged 77 years, 7 months, and 26 days.Her husband preceded her on July 30, 1922.They left a son, Vinton D. Rust, and a daughter, Mrs. Will McNett, and seven grandchildren who will always remember her as a faithful wife andloving mother, ever willing to do all she could to make the burdens of life more easy, and the pathway just a little smoother."
Thelma writes.................... "Grandma was of small frame, and a frail women.She made the best tasting pies and raisin cookies imaginable.In her younger years, she boarded the train to visit Uncle Vinton in Chicago.She was a strong woman in her youth, driving the horse and buggyto visit, shop in Lewis Center, or to attend church. She was known as Ellen to her friends and neighbors; a soft spoken, caring woman."Louise also remembered her fondly; calling her loving and kind; she said that Grandma Rust would send her to the mailbox to get the mail.She would sometimesbring back the "Religions Telescope" , a Christian magazine that she would study from......and " she would also rap you with it if necessary to keep you in line".
