A Large Funeral

The double funeral of Mrs. Chas. Hainline and her son Zella Hainline who committed suicide by shooting himself while dejected over the death of his mother was perhaps the largest ever held in Blandinsville. One who attempted to count the people as they emerged from the church counted 800 and it is likely that more than this number were present. All the stores were closed and the big church was crowded to its capacity. Rev. F. M. Branic preached an eloquent and affecting sermon, the Rev. J. G[.] Slick assisted in the service and the beautiful music was rendered by a double quartette. The following obituary notices were read at the service.

Lucy Nettie White

Lucy Nettie White was born Oct. 7th, 1863, departed this life at her residence in Big Mound, Iowa Tuesday, February 16, 1915, aged fifty-one years, four months and nine days. She was married to Charles W. Hainline December 14th, 1882. Five children blessed their home and life, four boys and one girl. Zella Thomas deceased, Chellis of Webster, Ill., Leslie Glen, Callia [sic] May, Revia [sic] Lawrence all at home. The deceased united with the Christian church at the Eagle school house in the days of her youth, afterward uniting with the Central Christian Church of which she was a faithful member at her death. Sister Hainline was a kind neighcor [sic], a hard worker, a loving devoted mother, a loyal and true wife[.] Her suffering at her last illness was only of two weeks duration. Her burdens, her toils are all laid down, her labor is ended, her life is blessed.

Zella Thomas Hainline, son of Charles and Nettie White Hainline was born on the farm near the Central church in McDonough county on the 27th day of January 1884, and died at his home in Blandinsville on February 17th, 1915, aged 31 years, 1 months and 21 days.

He spent his boyhood on the farm and when old enough engaged in farming for himself, first in his home neighborhood and later on a farm near Nevada, Iowa, until about a year ago he moved with his family to Blandinsville which has since been his home. On January 24th, 1906 he married Miss Lila Anderson and their happy home was blessed with a daughter, Clarice Matilda, who, with her heart broken [sic] mother is left to mourn for him.

Zella Hainline was a good boy, and affectionate son, and a loving husband and father. He was a hard working, industrious farmer and business man [sic], his life was clean and his character and integrity was above reproach, scrupulously honest in all his dealings and courteous and obliging in his affairs with men, he stood high in the estimation of all who knew him, and this industry and integrity brought his prosperity as well as esteem. His tenderness of heart and family affection made the misfortune and sorrows of those he loved unbearable to him, and his untimely death is a severe shock to the community who loved and esteemed him and unite in their sympathy with his bereaved family.
