Obituary Online notes for Bessie May FORTENBAUGH
Union City Times-Gazette, Friday, July 28, 1944

After four years of invalidism, with attendant patient suffering and one week of critical illness, Mrs. Solomon Ingle gave up the long, gallant fight at 5 a.m. today at her home in Harrisville.

Mrs. Ingle, who was formerly Miss Bessie May Fortenbaugh, was born in Harrisville Sept. 8, 1877, the daughter of John B. Fortenbaugh of Pennsylvania, well known contractor and Miss Martha Whitesell of Wayne township. She lived her entire life of 66 years in Harrisville and attended Harrisville school.

September. 10, 1898, she was married to Solomon Ingle of Harrisville, who survives her, together with three sons; John F. Ingle of San Gabriel, California; Gerald and Max L. Ingle, both of Harrisville. Surviving also are three grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Clyde Shultz, of near Harrisville. Besides these are a host of friends who held Mrs. Ingle in highest esteem because of her deep devotion to her family, her unswerving loyalty to her friends, and her unselfish service in the reliqious, educational and social life of the community.

The body is at the Fraze funeral home in Union City. Funeral plans will not be completed until word is received from the son in California.

(Funeral services were held Monday afternoon at the Harrisville Christian church with Rev. John A. Watson officiating. Burial was made in the Union City Cemetery.)
