Friday December 20            Mrs. Mary Trusdale
     This week witnessed the close of a very interesting and useful life,
when Mrs. Mary Elizabeth Trusdale passed away at the Eastern Star Home here
in Arlington.  She was so quiet and unassuming that few realized what a rich
life she had lived.
     She was born in England at Manchester.  And though she had been in
America for many years, and loved America as her home, her heart often
turned to England and her own people in these troubled days.  She had a
sister, a nurse, and several nephews in the war, and was naturally greatly
disturbed in their behalf.
     For several months she had been seriously ill and unable to see her
friends or attend her church.  She was an active member of the Presbyterian
church and as long as her health would permit a regular attendant in the
Loyalty Sunday School class of which she was a member.
     Miss Cora Posey, worthy grand secretary of the Order of the Eastern
Star of Texas gives these interesting facts about her varied and useful life
both in England and in America:
     Mrs. Trusdale served ten years as Governess in the family of the Arch
Bishop of Canterbury.  During this time she traveled widely with the
children.  She made six trips to America, on her last trip (the eleventh
time to cross the Atlantic Ocean) it was understood that she was to remain
in America, which she did; remaining in Galveston while the rest of the Arch
Bishop's party sailed for England.  She married soon after this and has
lived in America ever since.  It was interesting to hear her speak of her
childhood's home in England which she described as a small stone house with
very thick walls, which was perched high on a cliff overlooking the sea.
     Mrs. Trusdale was initiated into the Order of the Easter Star by Mizpah
Chapter No. 2, Galveston, on May 24, 1921.  She later moved to Fort Worth
and was affiliated with Keystone Chapter No. 9, on March 25, 1921.  She was
a very active member of this chapter and filled many different stations in
the chapter.  For some time she was also active in the Sunshine Circle and
had a number of small girls under her direction.  One of these girls was
Ginger Rogers of whom Mrs. Trusdale said, "Her little feet kept time to the
rhythm of her heart even in those pinafore days."  Another of that group was
the little Ruth Googins who is now Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt.
     Sorrow came into her life, her health gave way and it became necessary
for her to enter the Eastern Star Home.  She brought to her new method of
life a high courage, refusing to give way to sorrow, she bravely began
readjusting her life to her surroundings.  She loved flowers and took over
the care of the rose gardens and shrubs of the Home and made them her
constant care until failing health forced her to keep to her room.

Friday December 20                 SUBLETT        Annie Leath
