An Exemplar Of Womanly Goodness

When the body Of Priscilla Stu
debaker, relict of the late Henry
Studebaker, was tenderly laid away
in Bowman cemetery on this beautiful
April day, the incidents relating to the
return of dust to dust, ashes to
ashes" may be said to have formed
the closing chapter of a singularly
useful and noble career.
Mrs. Studebaker was born in Ohio
and reared TO young womanhood in
Elkhart county, Ind. Her father was
a sturdy adherent and exponent Of
the Lutheran faith, and the daughter
readily accepted the teachings that
tend TO Undue mind and soul with the
glory and grandeur OF Christian re-
ligion. When as a widower Henry
Studebaker wooed and won her affec-
ton, she not only became the COM
panion of his bosom, but the mother
Of his six children. In this capacity
she illustrated grandly and subhmely
the inherent goodness that marks her
career from young wOmanhoOd be-
yond the allotted period of three score
and ten. Not only did she prove her
self a devoted wife to her adored hus-
band, for whose welfare she held con-
slant vigil, but as mother OF his and
her own children-six of the former
and four Of her own flesh and blood
she never countenanced the slightest
discrimination for or against. She was
a MOTHER mother in the truest and
highest sense of the term-to all OF
them exactly alike. And with her 1t
was not merely a matter of rearing
the flock to young womanhood and
manhood to go out into the world
and participate in the struggles there
of; her constant aim was TO instin into
their minds the ideas that tend to
right living and right doing, to the
end that the world might be benefited
by their coming into it and perform
ing well and truly the part belonging
10 those who make life useful and
benefcent, precious, ennobling and
inspiring.
Her nobility of soul and her self
sacrificing spirit were likewise strlk-
ingly revealed by her unceasing efforts
to alleviate suffering when sickness
invaded the household. Whether min
istering TO husband, son or daughter.

hardship ever evoked from her lips
mutterings of complaint or the cry Of
dismay, despair or discomfort Her
sibility, her soulful sympathy and
overlooking kindness, made il pos
sible for her to bear uncomplainingly
burdens that under reversed condi-
tons would have been deemed eX-
tremely irksome if not utterly unbear-
able.
But the gentleness and goodness of
this noble woman was not confined to
the family circle. 1t spread out over
the neighbOrhood and made its way
into society. 1t entered the church.
Believing in the efficacy of unity of
strength she identified herself with
the church in which her devoted hus-
band had been brought up and in
which he served his master to the last
days of his useful life. Together they
worshipped and served God in the
Brethren church. of which her
brother, the late II. w. Kreigh baum,
was the ruling elder.
For 80 years Mrs. Studebaker main
tanned these church relations, doing
good whenever she could by way of
Illustrating the power, glory and
grandeur of practical, inspiring and
impelling religion.
While the departure Of this kindly
Mother in Israeli into the realm of
the undiscovered Beyond causes deep
anguish among those who knew her
best, they may we'll seek comfort in
the thought that upon dissolution,
which of necessity must come to all,
the soul is thrilled with ecstacy on
account of its escape from the coil of
the body, and that it is free from re-
greet, save sympathy for those who are
still afflicted with the weight and the
restraint Of corporal life and deten-
ton. The confident belief that in the
Palace of Eternity a happy spiritual
reunion is assured the righteous and
the just of this world goes far toward
neutralizing the sting of death and
the victory of the grave.
Fittingly the body of Mother
Studebaker is consigned to her final
resting place by four of her sons and
two of her sOns-in-law Unquestion-
