[Obituary for Lucy Ann Call, from the Decatur Daily Democrat, 16 Jun 1988; posted online to the FindaGrave.com website.]

Lucy Ann Call, 66, 1109 Bollman St., a former resident of 515 St. Mary's St.
for 40 years and well-known in local bowling circles, was found dead
Wednesday evening at her residence.

She retired in 1983 from Fort Wayne GE after 12 years of service. In recent
years, she had been employed at the Rheinlander and also did volunteer
work in food distribution for the needy of Adams County.

She was inducted into the Decatur Local Women's Bowling Association
(DLWBA) Hall of Fame last March. She served as secretary-treasurer of the
organization from 1962 through 1971 and was secretary of the Town and
Country League for many years. In 1969-1970, she rolled season highs of
269 and 658.

She was a member of the Women of the Moose, American Legion Auxiliary,
and the Eagles Lodge of Albion.

Born in Wells County on July 3, 1921, she was the daughter of Earl and
Edith Osborne-Terrell, and was married December 10, 1939, to Earl W.
(Woody) Call; he died August 17, 1979.

Survivors include three sons, Vernon Call, Ossian; Von Call, Willshire, O.;
James Call, Decatur; a sister, Mrs. Lillian Morris, of near Bluffton; a brother,
Harris Terrell, of near Bluffton; nine grandchildren; and two great-
grandchildren. One brother, Von Terrell, is deceased.

Note: Lucy Ann Terrell's birthplace

Lucy's obituary from 1988 reports her birthplace as Wells Cty, Indiana, but on her marriage license from 1939, she noted her birthplace as Huntington Cty, Indiana. While I have not found a birth record for Lucy yet, I will note that in the 1930 US Census listing for her parents' household, the family was recorded as living in Lancaster Twp, Huntington Cty. I suspect that she was born in Huntington Cty, and there was some confusion as to her birthplace by the time of her death due to the existence of a Lancaster Twp in both counties, separated only by a handful of miles and the county line.
