"....Gertrude was also a birthright member of the Highland MM, and the dt of Elias Hicks Trueblood. The John and Amos Trueblood lines thus converge again in this line (fifth cousins, once removed). They continued to farm in the Highland neighborhood until 1937, when they moved to Salem. No children. Gertrude d 4-4-1959, of cancer of the throat." pg 125

"...twin sister of Herbert Charles...Gertrude grew up in the Highland Community, near Salem. She attended Stanley School and was a loyal devoted member of the Highland Friends Church. She and her husband continued to live in the Highland area until 1937, when they established a home in Salem.
Aunt Gay, as she was lovingly known by members of her own family, loved people and was most happy in having a part in all activities of her church and community where she displayed a rare sense of humor. For many years, she delighted in keeping a diary which in later years proved most useful when records or dates of church or community happenings were needed by her family or friends. Gertrude and Oliver had no children. Oliver has been an excellent contributor to this project through his correspondence with Mary T. Carroll. The following stanza by John Greenleaf Whittier is representative of Gertrude's faith:
I know not where His islands lift
Their fronded palms in air;
I only know I cannot drift
Beyond His love and care.
