Wife of Charles Wesley Truitt
Born in Bartonville, Illinois, January 15, 1885, daughter of Thomas and Sarah Smith Topping, and one of 9 children, Mary Berdelle Topping became the wife of Mr. Charles Wesley Truitt, in Chillicothe, IL, on July 26, 1902. He died in Peoria, Nov 25, 1942. She was formerly a cook and an excellent baker, at Proctor Endowment Home for 15 years. As her Great Granddaughter, I remember the smell of wonderful delights coming from her kitchen. She could make homemade noodles like no one else, and enjoyed large puzzles composed of tiny pieces that she had on a large table, always working. I loved playing with the colorful marbles at her house, as a small child, visiting her every week.
Mrs. Truitt was a member of Grace Presbyterian Church and Central City Chapter 42, Order of Eastern Star. Preceded in death by her husband, 4 sisters, and 1 brother, she is survived by 1 son, Mr. Adrian Earl Truitt, of Peoria, and 2 daughters, Mrs. Hazel Irene Seanor of Bakersfield, CA, and Mrs. Allegra Colborn of Deerfield Beach, FLA; 2 sisters, Mrs. Jessie Allington, of Chillicothe, IL, and Mrs. Bessie Weese of Arlington, VA; 1 brother, Elmer Topping of Chicago, IL, 7 Grandchildren and 23 Great Grandchildren.
