Springs Valley Herald (April 24, 1930) Obituary
Mary Anice Underwood, eldest daughter of William A. and Jemima Underwood, was born October 30, 1870 on a farm south west of Abbey Dell.At an early age, she moved with her parents to a farm south of French Lick. Her her school days were spent at old number five school.
She grew to young womanhood, united with the Christian Church at Pleasant Valley and was baptized nearby.
At the age of twenty-three she was married to Frank Qualkinbush and a home was established on the farm where she was living at the time of her death. Five children were born to this union, namely: Ross, Floyd, Lillian, Cecil and Clyde. She died April 12, 1930 just at sunset at the end of a busy day at the age of 59 years, 5 months and 13 days. The husband, five children, seven grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Maude Davis, survive.
In her going there passes from us one who represented the very truest type of womanhood. She loved people naturally. It was never an effort for her to be a neighbor - to be kind - to do good to those about he - it came perfectly natural for her to do so.
She was a woman of unassuming mien who went about daily, ministering where she could. Not in a particularly public way, but steadily - doing - if comfort was needed she knew how to sympathize. She rarely talked of the hard places, but looked for the bright side of her experiences, this bringing joy instead of sadness to those with whom she mingled. Well can it be said of her, "She looketh well to the ways of her household and eateth not the bread of idleness." If work was to be done, she did it, always cheerfully - sweetly as the natural thing for her to do. When we think of her quiet deeds of love and ministry, we are led to wonder how many, many there were that we do not know about and led to realize that she went home to God, not empty handed, but laden with sheaves for the Master.
It is hard for her loved ones to understand why she should go away so suddenly, "For now we see through a glass, darkly." We like to think that there is still sunshine, somewhere, and when from out the gloom of suffering and pain this lived one wandered from the homeland into God's country, we believe she walked into the everlasting sunshine of God's love.
Today her family, her relatives and her friends are trying to realize how great is the loss we have all suffered. Yielding always, as we must to the inevitable, yet with the knowledge that a great sorrow is ours to bear.
The people of the community will miss the presence and the ministrations of this kindly woman whose cheerful words, hopeful smiles and ready sympathies have touched their lives and hearts.
And now because she is silent, we remember and speak of her with loving and sincere appreciation and of the attributes of splendid womanhood that distinguished her at all times and in all places.
