Beulah Jonesof Wall, South Dakota, died on Tuesday, September 2, 2003
|
Beulah M. Albin was born August 2, 1920, on a farm northwest of Wall, the daughter of Walter Lee and Ruth M. (Kitterman) Albin. She grew up on the farm and attended Cedar Butte Rural School for eight years.
As a young lady she worked at various jobs including telephone operator as well as a waitress in Wall.
A quote from an article Beulah wrote for the Albin-Sketo Family Genealogy Book.
"I married Bruce Jones in May of 1955 and did a lot of traveling. I didn’t like being away from home so far. Bruce worked for an oil company. It was a happy day in December of 1975 when he retired and we headed for good old South Dakota. We enjoyed our retirement up until 1981 when Bruce got sick and passed away in December. I live alone in our home and plan to stay here until I can’t take care of myself anymore. We never had no children."
Beulah and her husband were charter members of the Evangelical Free Bible Church in Wall. Beulah enjoyed doing genealogy and especially the Albin-Sketo Family Genealogy Book that was published in 1996. She wrote the Kitterman-Albin Family Genealogy, and the history of the Cedar Butte School with photos of the teachers and students down through the years, which she displayed at the all school reunion held in 2000. She and her husband were Godparents to Rachel Eisenbraun Waltner.
Grateful for having shared her life include one brother Robert Albin and his wife Arlene of Wall; one sister Iva Eisenbraun of Creighton; three nephews David Eisenbraun and his wife Marie of Creighton, Norman Eisenbraun and his wife Marsha of Wall, and Rodney Hinman and his wife Cheryl of Rawlins, Wyoming; two nieces Barbara Crawford of Wasta, and Ruth Beckwith and her husband Gary of Rapid City; fifteen great-nieces and nephews; sixteen great-great nieces and nephews; a brother in-law Lerrill Hinman of Wall; and a host of other relatives and friends.
Beulah was preceded in death by her husband Bruce Jones on December 27, 1981; her parents; one brother Dale Albin; one sister Gladys Hinman; and one brother in-law Reinhold Eisenbraun.
