She was converted and united with the Methodist church at an early age'and was later an active and influential worker in the community church at Memorial Chapel for a number of years. The ground for this church was donated by Mr. and Mrs. Naught. Mrs. Naught was somewhat of a shining star in this community at Memorial ChapeL She encour-aged the young people, consoled and helped the older ones in any misfortune and made her home an example to all that passed that way.
Mr. and Mrs. Naught were married in Woodstock township on Nov. 10, 1886. He preceded her in death in July, 1940. She leaves two sons and two daughters: Mrs. Herman Ryan of Buenavista township; Dwight C. Naught of Golden; Mrs. Mabel Crone and Harold Naught, both of Woodstock township. Nine grandchildren will miss her verv much, namely: Bernard Ryan of Rushville, Mrs. Jean Botts of Pekin, Mrs. Louise Shanklin of Macomb, T. Verne Crone at home, Dale Crone of California, Maurine Cripe of Astoria, Marguerite Anderson, of Cuero, Texas, George Edward Naught of Quincy and Taylor Naught of Golden. There are also five great-grandchildren, namely: Judy Ryan, Garth Cripe, Jimmy and Marilyn Anderson, and Yvonne Naught.
Mrs. Naught was one of seven children, having five sisters and one brother: a sister, Mrs. Eliza Aten of Holdrege, Neb., is living. A brother, William Stremmel, lived in this community but died in 1936. The other sisters were Mrs. Louise Glandon. of Holdrege, Neb.; Mrs. Charles Kuechler of Champaign: Mrs. Helena Naught, and Mrs. Margaret Paisley, who resided in California. Mrs. Naught and her faithful and ever considerate husband celebrated their golden wedding at the home in Woodstock township in 1936. A reception was given them at the Memorial Chapel church near by. The neighbors and friends at that time tried to show them the esteem and good will that they so much deserved.
Afer the death of her husband, Mrs. Naught sold her home and moved to Rushville where she resided until her health became quite poor. She then went to live with her daughter, Mrs. Esther Ryan. As much as her health allowed, she attended Sunday school and church services while living in Rushville and added many more lasting friendships to her already wonderful list. One friend said of Mrs. Naught that she was the youngest, old person he had ever met. She had many talents and abilities, but it might be said that making and keeping friends was her chief hobby. She showed how much she was interested in people all around her by her correspondence for the Rushville Times which she did so interestingly for nearly 40 years.
Funeral services were held Thursday, Aug. 7, at 2 p.m. at the First Methodist church with the Rev. J. A. Mason, officiating. Burial was in Palm cemetery.
