- Alma Pearl (McDaniel) Maybee, 92, passed away Sunday, Aug. 28, 2011, in Soldiers Grove.
She was born July 8, 1919, to Otto and Elsie McDaniel of Soldiers Grove. Alma was one of seven children.
Alma married Garrel Maybee at the Little Brown Church, July 3, 1938, in Nashua, Iowa. They made their home in Sebulah, Ill., where Garrel worked cutting timber, while Alma took in boarders. One year later, they moved to North Clayton ridge where they began farming. It was there that they purchased their first farm of 40 acres. Both worked the land as they started their family. Alma and Garrel were eventually parents to three children, Mary, Joyce and Jack. As this young family grew, they soon made their home on Trout Creek, where they purchased a 250 acre farm in the valley. It's there that Alma and Garrel have spent the last 70 years together.
As a wife and mother, Alma worked in the tobacco warehouse and at the local apple orchards during seasonal times of the year. She was a wondeful homemaker to her family. She loved to cook and bake. Her hobbies included gardening, sewing, collecting thimbles and raising chickens on the farm. She made the best home-made noodles. She was noted for those and contributed many of her home-made noodles to local church suppers for years. Her family loved to go to grandma's house for home-made chicken and noodles.
