ships. After graduating from the
eighth grade she attended M. & NJ
high school, and was graduated with
the class of 1920, under Supt B. F.
Fulks. She was a student of more
than ordinary ability, and ranked
among the best of her class. The
following year she attended the
Malta normal school. Later she
studied at Muskingum college, New
Concord. She began teaching in the
fall of 1921, in the Malta grade
schools, having charge of the fourth

of Edwin c. Settle. Mr.. Settle for
merly lived in Malta. At the time
of their marriage, he was employed
with the Goodrich Rubber Company

Tex, and at st. Louis, Mo. About
three years ago they returned to
Cuyahoga Falls, where they lived
during the remainder of her short
life. A few years ago Mrs. Settles
health began to fail. Cheerfully
and persistently she labored to over
come the disease. Every means that
love could suggest to restore her,
was used, but without success. Ola, |
as she was familiarly called, was q
strong and noble character. Sham
and hypocrisy were foreign to her
nature. She loved the beautiful, |
the good, and the true. The COM
fort and pleasure of her family ami
friends were her chief delight. Her
deft fingers were ever making beau
tiful and useful things for home
and loved ones. Her love for. her
husband, and her devotion to his
best interests, were apparent to all !
"His heart could safely trust in
her. Such a life ends not in death.
