Ida (Wineinger) Mynatt

MYNATT, Ida, Springs Valley Herald 
February 18, 1937 

Mrs. Charles Mynatt, 42, resident of Cuzco, died Tuesday at the Martinsville Hospital from injuries received in an automobile accident near that city about three weeks ago.
Funeral services are being held at the Christian Church in Cuzco this afternoon followed by interment in the nearby cemetery with Schmutzler in charge of the arrangements.
She is survived by her husband and seven children.
 

Ida Mynatt, daughter of Andrew and Evaline Wineinger, was born March 4, 1895 near Cuzco. She departed this life at a hospital in Martinsviile, Ind. February 16, 1937 at the age of forty one years, eleven months and twelve days.
She was united in marriage to Charles S. Mynatt
July 3, 1915. To this union were born eight children. Mrs. Marie Apple, Harold, Evelyn, Mildred, Fern, Lucy, Edwin and Grace, who with the husband are left to mourn their loss.
There were also two grandchildren, Marvin Duane Apple, dead, and Patsy Sue Mynatt, now in the
Riley Hospital at Indianapolis.
She also leaves her aged father, four sisters and three brothers, namely: Mrs. Lizzie Abel, Mrs. Mary Wilson, Mrs. Pearl Knies, Mrs. Dessie Lindsey, Frank Wineinger, Levi Wineinger and John Wineinger, besides a host of other relatives and friends by whom she will be sadly missed.
She united with the Christian Church at Cane Creek and was baptized at about the age of eighteen years and later moved her membership to
Cuzco Christian Church.
Ida was a hard worker and one we never heard murmur about her task in the fields. She was busy also helping to make a comfortable home for her family.
She was in fairly good health until January 21 when on her way home from
Indianapolis with her brother, Jack, and her daughter, Evelyn. Their car wrecked and she received injuries which proved fatal. She was taken to a hospital nearby and remained there.
On February 14th her husband went to the hospital to remain with her. She talked to him almost all the following day, telling him what she wanted him to do and to teach their children to live right. She also told him that she could never get well and that she was ready and willing to go.
The next morning he asked her if she would like a minister called and she told him to do as he liked. He then called Rev. J. V. Carlisle, minister of the Baptist Church of Martinsville, who read a chapter of God's word, sang her favorite hymn, "Standing on the Promises," offered prayer and talked to her. She then repeated what she had told her husband, that she was ready and willing to go. She spoke something then said, "Jesus, take me home," which were the last distinct words she spoke.
