He was saved in 1938 and united with the Gasconade Baptist Church where he was a member at the time of his death.
Ivan was married to May Singleton November 26, 1929 and to this union four children were born.
In 1930 he worked on old Highway 66 with a team of mules and a Fresno, or slip. He was a farmer most of his life and worked hard from sunrise to sunset to provide for his family. He worked as maintenance man at the Pulaski County General Hospital for a number of years until he was forced to retire.
Due to poor eyesight and poor health for the past several years he was confined to his home. He loved his Lord and his family. He never lost his cheerfulness or compassion for others. Their home was always open to anyone who needed help of any kind. He will be sadly missed by his family and friends. Our loss is Heaven’s gain.
Funeral services were held Sunday November 9, at 2:00 p.m. in the Waynesville Memorial Chapel with Rev. Bill Claiborn and Rev. Lee Schaffer officiating. Music was provided by organist, Gladys Snyder, and a duet by Betty Brown and Sandy Toppe. Escorts were the grandsons. Honorary escorts were Bob Woody and Virgil Shelton.
Burial was in the Crocker Memorial Cemetery, Crocker, Missouri, under the direction of the Waynesville Memorial Chapel.
He is survived by his wife, May of Waynesville, Missouri; two sons: frank of Richland, Missouri and Harry of Clark, Missouri; one daughter, Audrey Pope of Lindsey, Oklahoma; one granddaughter; six grandsons; and four great grandsons; one brother, Charley of Coulterville, Illinois; and one sister Ora Flake of Mound City, Missouri.
Besides his father and mother, he was preceded in death by one daughter, ruby, and two grandchildren, Carol Jean Case and Frankie Allen Pope; one sister Edna Fuller; four brothers, Emmitt, Ewell, Raymond, and Ernest.
