The Warren Republican, Thursday, September 5, 1895
Death of Mrs. Hubartt.
Mrs. Elizabeth D. Hubartt was born May 11, 1823, died at her home in Warren, Huntington
county, Indiana, September 2, 1895, aged 71 years, 3 months and 20 days.
She was married to Rev. Geo. Hubartt October 15, 1847. To this union ten children were
born. Three of the children have preceded her to the heavenly hone and seven are still
living. The seven children, with the father and husband, were at her side when death came
to her relief, Monday morning at 5 o'clock.
In the year 1846, she and her husband settled in this county near Warren, on a tract of
land then in the woods. Those of you who know the toils and the hardships that would meet
one in this part of the country 49 years ago. Her companion filling the position of a
minister of the gospel, made the household duties and the care of the family rest more
heavily upon the mother's shoulders. The duties of a minister would necessitate her
husband's absence, therefore she was compelled to face the cold bleak winds of winter
to attend to her work out doors as well as in doors until her children grew large enough
to assist her.
Sister Hubartt was an industrious uncomplaining woman; always cheerful and tried to make
others catch the same spirit, even amidst her intense suffering. During her last illness,
she was mirthful, thus making the burden much lighter for her family.
The deceased was a member of the Christian church for over 50 years, and from the time of
her consecreation to God, which was in early life, she having united with the U.B. church
prior to uniting with the Christians, she has lived a Christian life. The excellency of
her Christian virtues I did not receive from her family alone, but from her neighbors who
knew her for years. They say Mrs. Hubbartt was a kind, good-hearted, obliging Christian
lady.
When I visited her in her affliction, I said, "you are anxiously waiting for that
heavenly home where you will suffer no more." And with quivering lips and tearful
eyes, she replied, "yes." She was a kind, good mother. As her son said to me,
"when one has lost their mother, they feel that they have lost about all."
True. A father may be ever so kind, yet there is something in the word,
"mother," that is peculiar. It seems to sink deeper into one's feelings
than any other word in the English language. The deceased has left to mourn a husband
with whom she has borne the toils of life for nearly 54 years, and seven children. While
it is true they will be lonely without her, yet she is out of suffering. We should
rejoice that she suffers no more. She has passed to that home where pain cannot touch
her. Whild the family is sad, she is happy. May all her children imitate her in her
Christian virtues. May the God of peace keep your hears and qualify you all to meet her!
in the paradise above. W.D, Samuel
Funeral services were held at the Christian church on Tuesday at 1 o'clock, the sermon
being preached by Rev. Samuel. Interment was in the Lancaster cemetery.
