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.

WOLFINGTON,
Wilbur Ellsworth, Springs Valley Herald (May 8, 1930) Obituary
Wilbur
Ellsworth Wolfington, son of Benoni and Nancy Wolfington, was born
August 11, 1870 and departed this life March 28, 1930. He was united in
marriage to Rosetta Chapman. No children were born to this union, but
little Harold Hope Baker came to brighten the home at the age of three.
Rosetta and Harold only stayed awhile and then went to be with the
Heavenly Father of which we find the following word recorded in one of
Brother Wolfington's books:
"A short
time ago, I was called upon to give in death my precious wife and three
weeks later, our dear little boy of five summers. The blow fell heavily
as they were all I had. As the fiery days of grief grew on apace, I
felt myself in the very crucible of Gethseman's sadness. Truly, it was
a fiery furnace, but faith can fight her battles in the abyss of hell
itself."
On March 18,
1912, he was
again united in marriage to Ethel Catherine May. She also preceded him
in death January 3, 1923. To this union one child, Jerold Ellsworth,
was born.
He was again
married to Iva Mae DeWitt October 1, 1925. One child, Edward Elwood,
being born to this union.
He
passed away at the age of 59 years, 7 months and 17 days. His departure
is mourned by his wife and two sons, one brother John, six nephews and
two nieces besides a host of relatives and friends. He was converted at
Moores Ridge church and united with the United Brethren church at
Sulphur Creek in the year 1887, immediately entering the ministry and
serving in Indiana and Iowa conferences as long as health would permit.
He was true in every respect to his Christ and the word.
