BEULAH BEDELIA (QUERY) STEELE
"...was born August 17, 1904, in Terre Haute; departed this life, June 16, 1925, age 20 years, 9 months and 29 days. Beulah united with the Methodist Church at Millgrove in 1918, but because of poor health was not able to be baptized and taken into the church. She is spoken by all who knew her best as a true and obedient girl. She was a young woman whose gracious ways endeared her to a host of friends. She was keenly interested in the activities of the church and was faithful when her health permitted her to attend. She was united in marriage with Cecil Steele at her father's home in Quincy on October 25, 1924 and was only allowed to live 7 months and 21 days after her marriage. God knew best; we are not able to understand why this blessed union should be severed so soon, so young a life. But she began to see the beauties of Heaven - Heaven is made up of all ages - and she has gone just to be one more jewel there. May all the loved ones be able to say, Thy will be done. Beulah suffered intense pain for more than two months. She bore it with great fortitude. She was always glad to see her friends and it was an inspiration to those who called to see her face so bright with that ever-present smile. Her room was filled with the aroma of beautiful flowers sent in by friends. Some time before she passed away, she asked her father if she could get well. When told it was doubtful if she would recover, she selected her songs and pallbearers. She then told them more about the services, selected the minister, Rev. Kaylor, who was pastor when she united with the church and officiated at her marriage. She was a member of the Eastern Star lodge. All was done to relive her that loving hands and medical skill could do. She has gone where sorrow or death never come...".
