Obituary
 
Mary Ruth Davis Van Der Kar was born March 21, 1887, at Cannonsville New York. 
She passed away at her home in Fruitland at 5:40 Sunday morning, May 16, 1926, 
at the age of 39 years one month and 25 days. Death was due to flu and 
pneumonia following. On October 11, 1911, she was married to Paul N. Van Der 
Kar at Keisey, New York. They came to Fruitland shortly afterward to their 
apple ranch west of Fruitland. To them were born three children, Jean aged 13, 
Franklin, aged 12, and Roger, aged 10. Mr. Van Der Kar passed away October 20, 
1916. Her mother, who came to be with her after his death, passed away at the 
Holy Rosary hospital in 1920. Mrs. Van Der Kar began teaching in the Fruitland 
school 8 years ago and has taught the second grade every year since that time 
until two weeks ago when she was compelled to give up her work because of her 
illness. In the capacity of teacher, she has endeared herself to the hearts of 
every child and their parents in the community. Besides her children others 
who survive her are her father, J. S. Davis and a brother, Charles of 
Cannonsville, New York; a sister, Mrs. J. Peeler of Binghampton, New York; a 
sister, Mrs. Andrew Tureey, and a brother, Sydney of Albany, New York; two 
sisters, Mrs. Helen Troxell and Miss Lois Davis of Portland, and two brothers, 
Keith and Anson of Fruitland. Funeral services were held at the Baptist church 
Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock and interment made in Riverside cemetery. 
Mrs. Van Der Kar will be greatly missed around Fruitland, as her cheery smile 
and kindly word made many warm friends for her. She was always thinking of 
others, and trying to do some good for them. She took an active part in all 
church work and everything that was uplifting to the community. The sympathy 
of the entire community is extended to the bereaved ones.
