Mrs. Purkhiser represented the mother type of womanhood. She was delighted to help everybody, was interested in community life and social religious. Her grandchildren were he especial joy and their varied interests were hers also. She was a lovable woman who it was a delight to know. After all this is the key to the life we loved. The Christ within shone out. Though our hearts are sadden it is but the yearning of the child heart in us all for the touch of the mother hand. She has gone on to a beautiful close of a beautiful life, sound, serene, womanly and sweet. Not dead but gone on while; as from one room to another. Death closes the door of vision but upon the other side she awaits our coming.

QUALKINBUSH, Fred, Springs Valley Herald (April 30, 1936) Obituary
We know not what the future hath, of marvel or surprise, but assured alone that in life and death, his mercy underlies. What mysteries surround the life we live here, and how uncertain the days and how true that we cannot tell what a day will bring forth. We bow our hearts in humble submission to the one who knoweth what is best.
Fred Qualkinbush, son of Willard and Malissa Qualkinbush, was born in Martin County, Indiana November 17, 1890 and was called to meet his Master April 8, 1936 at his home on E. 14th Street, Muncie, Indiana, aged 45 years, 4 months and 24 days. He has live in Muncie the past eighteen years and for more than fifteen years has not enjoyed the best of health. Just last Tuesday while at work he was taken with a severe heart attack and passed away Wednesday at noon.
He was married to Bessie Lynch May 17, 1913 and to this union were born eight children. Fred was a man of few words and was always upright and highly respected by his neighbors and friends. On December 17, 1933 at the morning church service at the Industry United Brethren Church he knelt at the altar of prayer and excepted Christ as his personal Savior realizing that his good memorial life would not save him. The following evening on December the 18 he gave his hand to the church and has been a faithful and esteemed member and was devoted to all the interest of the church until death called him home. Only last Sunday he was at his place serving as one of the ushers.
He leaves to mourn his faithful companion, three sons, Ray, Robert and Rodney Qualkinbush; four daughters, Mrs. Mildred Carmichael, Ruth, Vera Mae and Martha Qualkinbush; one grandson, Richard Gene Carmichael; five brothers, Elmer of Lawrenceville, Ill., Harley and William of Paoli, Ind.; Oliver of Muncie and Norman Qualkinbush of Cowan; three sisters, Mrs. Ethel Cox and Mrs. Rilla Kinsey, both of French Lick, Ind. and Ada Hickman of Paoli, with many friends who will greatly mourn his early departure.
