McCleary, accompanied by Mrs. Johnson on the organ, sang. Burial was in the Burge cemetery in New London. Pallbearers were Dean Gabbert, Richard and Robert Cochran, Charles William Pendry, all grandsons and Truman Hobbs and Lonne Pendleton, nephews.

Mrs. Nellie Hobbs Gabbert was born at Bridgeport, Iowa, June 20, 1872, the daughter of Anna and James Hobbs. In October 1889 she was married to Charles Gabbert in New London, where they continued to live. He died January 22, 1938. The last two years she has lived in Des Moines at a nursing home under the supervision of the Christian churches.

She is survived by two daughters, Mrs. Hazel Cochran, Fairfield; Mrs. Aletha Ashenback, Danville. One son, Harry, died March 29, 1939. Also four grandsons and one granddaughter and 10 great-grandchildren, several nieces and nephews.
