Minnie Magdeline Pierce, second daughter of Napolean B. and Nancy Ann Pierce, was born October 1, 1870 and departed this life September 4, 1935 at the age of 64 years, 11 months and 4 days.
On July 31, 1890 she was united in marriage to Andrew J. McDonald by the Elder John P. Davis. This union was blest by the birth of eight children, Alta, Clinton, Cleo, Anna, Audra, Rex, Grace and Elsie. Besides these children and a loving husband, twelve grandchildren, three sisters, three brothers, five son-in-laws and three daughter-in-laws survive.
At the age of sixteen she confessed her Christ and united with the Church of Christ at Antioch under the pastorate of Elder Richard Bex and later transferred her membership to the New Prospect Church of Christ.
Throughout her entire life she held to a firm conviction that Christian living exemplifies itself in service to others and devotion to home and family. For more than forty-five years she labored with untiring effort to rear her children in the best possible manner. Their joys were hers and their troubles found ease in her sympathetic attitude. There is great solace in the thought that she was truly a wonderful Mother. Her great happiness when visited by her children will be lasting in the memory of all.
When it came time for God to take her, the call came suddenly and after a week's illness her soul went home to Him. Her passing breaks the family circle kept so long intact.

Springs Valley Herald (September 19, 1935) Obituary
William Oscar Garrison, second son of Malinda and Woodford Garrison, was born November 28, 1864 and departed this life September 10, 1935 at the age of 70 years, 9 months and 13 days.
Early in his life he gave his life to God, and has ever lived a devout Christian life.
In the year 1885 he was united in marriage to Martha Anna Smith, daughter of Nancy and Levi Smith.
But their companionship was only of short duration and he was left to fight the battles of life alone.
As he loved the pleasures of a christian home so much and I'm sure there are few individuals in the world that appreciated the association of his loved ones more than the subject of this sketch. He appreciated any little act of kindness and would always speak of it when administered by his loved ones and friends.
He acquired a good education through the common schools of the county and preached in the United Brethren churches of the county for several years. He developed every talent the Lord gave him, and really realized the fact that he had a mission in earth in order to enjoy the blessing of heaven. He loved the church and all God's people and attended regularly when able. He feasted in his own home with his family through hymns, prayer and the blessed word of God.
In the year 1900 he was united in marriage to Lucy Wininger, widow of the late John Wininger. By this marriage the family circle was enlarged by four children. Mrs. Stella Briner, Mrs. Hulda Briner, Alva Wininger and Eva Shellhorn. He was to them a father and they with the rest of his loved ones will miss his ministering kindness.
For the past four years the hand of affliction had dealt harshly with him, yet he bore his suffering patiently and in a most cheerful manner. Bearing evidence of his fear of God, and a desire for that home not made with hands eternally in the heavens and as the evening sun lit up his countenance he closed his eyes in that pure, perfect, restful sleep which we called death.
Let us not mourn his going but rather rejoice with him in that realm of sunshine and flowers, of peace, joy and love.
Yes, we shall miss him from the home, the church and from the community, a faithful friend and helper has been removed. There will be one vacant chair, but this is only one more link, drawing us nearer Heaven.
Besides his aged widow and four step children already mentioned he leaves eight grandchildren and four great grandchildren. He was especially fond of children and loved these little children as really his own. He also leaves three brothers, Salem, Edward and Alonzo, and one sister, Martha, who so attentively helped to care for him the last few weeks of his suffering. These with a large circle of other relatives and friends pause to drop a tear at his passing.
His parents and two sisters, Emma and Ella, and one brother, Grover, have preceded him in death. Submitted by Tom Agan.

Springs Valley Herald (September 26, 1935) Obituary
Cynthia F. McDonald, daughter of the late Andrew J. and Susan Wininger, was born October 1, 1889 in Crawford County, Indiana.
In 1913 she married Frank McDonald. God blessed this union with four children, Harold, Opal, Violet and June, all at home.
Early in her youth she felt the need of a Savior and gave her heart to Jesus and joined the Christian Church.
About eight years ago her husband was converted and baptized and together they joined the United Brethren Church. She and her husband have brought their children up in the fear and admonition of the Lord and their home has been a type of a happy family.
Mrs. McDonald was a kind, devoted, loving wife, mother, sister, neighbor and friend. she not only reigned as queen of her own home, but was kind and helpful to others whom she thought might be in need. Her residence in French Lick since her marriage, her pleasing and friendly disposition have won for her many friends who will greatly miss her.
She has been afflicted and suffered for years. God only knows how much she has suffered but she bore it patiently and bravely. A few days ago she expressed her desire to go Home with Jesus. This desire was realized as the end came at the St. Edwards Hospital on Thursday, September 19, 1935 at the age of 45 years, 11 months and 19 days.
Those who survive: the husband and four children; four brothers, Charley, Harvey, Lum and Tom; two sister, Mrs. Pearl Kendall and Mrs. Helen Graves; two half-brothers, John Wininger and Marion Wininger; seven half-sisters, Mrs. Eliza Giles, Mrs. Sarah Dillinger, Mrs. Mary Dillinger, Mrs. Janie Nelson, Mrs. Lucy Leonard, Mrs. Mattie Carnes and Mrs. Hattie Moffet. The father, mother and an infant brother, Alva, preceded her in death.
We do not mourn as those who have no hope, but take much comfort in God's promise that we shall be reunited to part no more.
How conscious we are today that mother has been a part of our lives, character, hopes, plans. Such a good life will continue to bless and she will live on through these loved ones who follow after her.
This mother has demonstrated that if motherhood were a trade for which all mother should be paid, their value if paid would bankrupt heaven, or in gold would bankrupt earth.
Funeral services were held at the United Brethren Church on Sunday afternoon in charge of the pastor, Rev. C. H. Ivy.
The singing was by mixed quartet composed of Mr. and Mrs. Johnson Maine, Helen Kindred and Lori McIver, accompanied by Mrs. Loma Andrew at the piano.
Rev. W. J. Byrum read the scripture lesson and Rev. O. W. Haynes offered prayer.
Rev. M. P. Kindred brought the message, following the reading of the life sketch by the pastor.
Many beautiful floral designs were presented which speaks for the high esteem of Mrs. McDonald and the family.
About 700 people were in attendance, one of the largest in the history of the church. Interment in Ames Chapel cemetery.

In these few words we tender our heartfelt thanks to our neighbors and friends, who so willingly offered their assistance during the illness and death of our dear wife and mother, Cynthia McDonald.

He resided in Dubois County until about ten years ago when he came to French Lick.
He was not a strong man in body and had been afflicted with the fatal illness for the past three years.

This wish was not granted for God had his mansion ready and saw fit to call hence on October 7th, 1935, at the age of 33 years, 1 month and 8 days.
He was converted in his home about two months ago rejoicing in the Savior's love. He longed to be able to go to church now meant so much more to him. He trusted his new found Savior and prayed God's blessing upon his loved ones.
The wife, mother and other loved ones are to be commended for standing so faithfully by during this long affliction and doing all that human hands could do. Now that it is over they will wonder how they ever had the strength to keep such constant vigil, and then the answer, God remembered.

Residence was in Orange County, except the last 17 years which have been in Indianapolis and Cincinnati.
In 1930 she was married to John Lavin. This journey together was short, but a happy and devoted companionship.
She was converted and joined the M. E. Church at Highland when 18 years old. She realized several months ago that she could not get well, witnessed that she was ready to go and longed for the eternal peace and rest.
She was ambitious, energetic, a good home-maker, a good home keeper, a devoted wife, loving mother and sister and a kind friend to all.
She bore her months of affliction suffering patiently. When she could no longer see to read the Bible, she had someone read it to her.
"The Eastern Gate" was one of her favorite songs. It became precious to her at the funeral service for her father and again for her mother. According to her own testimony, she now enjoys the fulfillment of that promise in the song, "I Will Meet You In the Morning."
Those surviving: the husband (mentioned above), one son by a former marriage, Naamon Snow, and wife, Ruth Snow; one sister, Mrs. Martha Charles; two brothers, James Cornwell, French Lick and Charles Cornwell, Bedford; two granddaughters, Bettie Ruth and Bonnie Alice Snow, and many other relatives and friends.

Someone has said, "Most all the other beautiful things come by twos and threes, by dozens and hundred, plenty of roses, stars, sunsets, rainbows, brothers, sisters, aunts and cousins, but only ONE MOTHER in all the wide world. The sweet caressing influence of this ONE MOTHER floats over our souls today like the perfume from a rose which seems to fill us and lull us to sleep as in days of yore.
MOTHER, that magnetic name! MOTHER, highest, holiest, angelic; God's gift, immortal, changeless, vast; Thou who knew no barriers, no self, never faltered, never forgot, to thee alone we sing with quivering lips, our fervent words of praise. Thou hast been our "Queen of May" and we follow with our flowers, our affections, our tears. We silently bow beneath thy scepture of love today and humbly pray to the Father above for strength to meet her some sweet day.

Springs Valley Herald (November 14, 1935) Obituary
Albert, son of William and Sarah Qualkinbush, was born March 19, 1874 in Orange County and a lifetime resident of French Lick.
December 12, 1900, he was united in marriage to Naomi Hawhee. To this union eight children were born; three daughter and five sons. One son, Howard died when a small child.
About eight years ago, he got a fall while working at the school building. He has been afflicted since that time gradually growing weaker and weaker and passed into that eternal sleep on the morning of November 13, 1935, at the age of 61 years, 7 months and 24 days.
He was spared until he saw his need of a Savior. He confessed Christ two weeks ago in the presence of the pastor. These two weeks wee precious to him. He read the Bible, read and hummed the songs in the song book, requesting the wife to sing for him and at times prayed all night. He was much devoted to his family and came finally to be devoted to the Lord. He lived these two weeks humble as a little child and ready for the final call.
Those who survive: the wife, Naomi Qualkinbush; six children: Mrs. Elta Batchelor, Ashland, Oregon, Mrs. Olive Levy, Los Angeles, California, Arthur, French Lick, Walter and Edward of Chicago, Robert and June at home; an aged father, William Qualkinbush; five brothers: William Qualkinbush, Mitchell, Raleigh and Raymond of Monon, Frank, French Lick, and Garrett, Orleans; two sisters: Ruth of Bloomington and Mrs. Dora Paynter, French Lick; a number of other relatives and a host of friends. Special mention is made of Jane DeWitt, who has lived for some time in the home and so much appreciated, for he said, "Take good care of Jane."
