Miss Ethel HEIMER



Miss Ethel Heimer died in an Indianapolis hospital at 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon as the result of spinal injuries she sustained in a fall just two
weeks earlier.

The body was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Beabout, in
Martinsville, Sunday afternoon at 2 o'clock.  Funeral services were
conducted at the Church of God at 10 o'clock Monday morning, by Rev. A. C.
Smith, the pastor.  Interment was in Ridgelawn cemetery.

Miss Heimer fell back onto the running board of an automobile as she was
getting out of her own car while going to work two weeks prior to her death,
producing injuries to her spine that proved fatal.  She was taken to St.
Vincent's hospital where complications hastened her demise.

Those attending the funeral from Indianapolis were P. J. Craig, employer of
Miss Heimer; Elizabeth Hillyer, Pauline Ballinger, and Dan Thompson.

Ethel Delia Heimer, daughter of John W. and Laura Heimer, was born near
Martinsville, Illinois, August 9, 1907, and departed this life September 9,
1932, at the age of 25 years and one month.  Her father and mother have both
preceded her in death, the father in 1910, and the mother in 1924.

She attended the Martinsville high school and graduated with the class of
1924.  For nine months after her mother's death she made her home with her
aunt, Mrs. Edgar Beabout, of this city, but for the past six years she has
lived in Indianapolis, where she held a responsible position with the Bell
Telephone Co, being supervisor of the directory department at the time of
her death.

She was a charter member of the Zeta Rho Sorority of Indianapolis, and held
the office of corresponding secretary at her death.

Miss heimer was converted in March 1922, during a meeting held by Rev. J. L.
Updegraph in the Church of God at martinsville while the late Rev. C. W.
Crisman was pastor of the church.  According to those who knew her best she
has been true to that faith and had shown a christian spirit in her daily
walk.

On Thursday morning, September 8, complications resulting from an accident
of two weeks before the death messenger came to claim her.

She leaves to mourn their loss, two sisters, Mrs. Richard Schellscmidt, of
Indianapolis, and Mrs. Fred W. Kemp, of Dearborn, Michiga; one nephew; two
aunts, Mrs.Edgar Beabout, of Martinsville, and Mrs. Ben Duzan of Dudle, Ill;

Finley of Amorita, Okla. and a host of other relatives and friends.

The body was brought to the home of Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Beabout on Sunday
afternoon that services might be hed in the church where she found the lord
and held her membership.

We desire to thank the neighbors and friends who so kinly extended sympathy
and assistance, and the pastor for his consoling message, following the
death of our niece and sister; also for the beautiful floral offerings.

Mr. and Mrs. Edgar Beabout,
Mr. and Mrs. Richard Schelischmidt
