OBITUARY Carothers—June Gertrude Carothers, daughter of Andrew and Flora McCune Carothers, was born in their farm home, five miles west of Hiawatha, June 17, 1881, died June 8, 1928, in Fayetteville, Ark., where, during the past year she had been a teacher of history and English and supervisor of the girls training school in the University hi school. Her untimely and deeply mourned death came fro diphtheria and an exhaustion caused by an overzealous devotion to her work, leaving her unable to combat the disease. As an inheritance from her father, a man of literary tastes and a promulgator of educational endeavors, she possessed a mind eager for the beauties and benefits of the broadest education possible for her and with unswerving and steadfast purpose she pursued her ideal to attain the highest and best equipment for preparing herself for a life of service. She had an unusual capacity for hard work, and always striving to make herself more efficient she cultivated every opportunity to enlarge her natural tendency in educational and social work, reaching the honorable standing which she attained. She was a graduate of the Hiawatha academy, attended Washburn college for a time but having to withdraw because of ill-health, later pursued her studies at Columbia university, and finally received her bachelors degree from Chicago university and had almost completed her work for her masters degree at the same university. She was a Kappa Delta Pi which attests the quality of her scholarship. She taught in the Horton schools, served as county superintendent of schools in Brown county, resigning before the end of her second term to teach in Manhattan, Kans., where she was principal of the junior hi school and where her work received highest commendation. She was a Congregationalist in belief and during her whole life was a devoted worker in church and Sunday school, exercising her exceptional ability as a teacher in some department of the Sunday school work. Wherever her services were given she will be remembered for her untiring work to the betterment of her environment, and her influence will inspire in others the desire for a richer and fuller life in every way of higher endeavor. She had an abiding faith in her Creator which gave her a serene and happy condition of mind and heart and developed a spirit of unselfish devotion, especially to her family, but also to every one in need, which was unstinted, and directed her in the training of the youth which was the joy and blessing of her life. She was friendly and companionable and formed deep friendships, attachments which abided with her thruout her life. Kind and helpful to those needing sympathy and help, gracious and generous to all, she has left a memory of sweet fragrance, and tho her death seems untimely we have the faith to believe that her life shall fulfill its mission in some other realm, and that her influence here can never be lost but shall reach to the ends of time—an unlifting and strengthening force. —The Hiawatha Daily World (Hiawatha, KS) Fri. July 6, 1928, p.4.
