Mother of John Clinton, Mary Lavina, Preston A., Rachell Isabelle "Belle", Thomas D., and James D. Houpt. OBITUARY: Malinda A. Houpt In Memorium Malinda A. Houpt was born February 17, 1825, and died September 18, 1910, at the home of her son Thomas, in Terre Haute. Malinda A. Nash was the daughter of Preston and Lavina Nash. She was married to Thomas Houpt in July of 1844 and lived with him until his death in 1859, since which time she has remained a widow. To them were born six children. Three of whom survive the mother and three of whom preceeded her in death to the Great Beyond. The living are John Clinton and Thomas D. of Terre Haute and Mary Lavina of Sullivan, the wife of Marion Burkhart. The dead are Preston, James D., and Rachell Isabelle, who was the wife of Jefferson Tague. She also leaves one sister, Anna Gobin of Youngstown, Ind., 11 grandchildren, 13 great grandchildren and a host of friends to mourn. "Aunt Malinda" as she was familiarly known was one of the early settlers and pioneers of Sullivan county, still owning the same land she entered of the government at the age of 17 years. She was a woman of marked and unusual strength in many ways. Faithfully honest and industrious, absolutely fearless and firm in decision. A good friend and a fearless enemy. Never afraid of convictions, in fact her brave struggle to live and do her part in life's battle is so examplary that it should not go unnoted. She was left alone early in her married life with the care of six small children, the youngest a babe in her arms. And to make the burden doubly hard, she was left with very little means. On a small farm of less than one hundred acres she reared this family to manhood and womanhood and all of them were useful and respected citizens. There was no labor she was afraid of. I have seen her work from morning until night in the field day after day, year in and year out. Clearing ground, ploughing, cutting wheat with a cradle and binding it by hand, cultivating corn, splitting rails, husking corn, threshing wheat, in fact any and all kinds of work that the farmer does. She did this in the early part of her struggle because of necessity but in after years, simply because she loved to do it. In her home life she was plain and unpretentious. A good neighbor kind and courteous and always present where there was sickness and she could render any service. She was a member of the Christian church and in truth a Christian. Her idea of religion was the idea of service and work. Few ever served more willingly than she, and none ever labored harder. If the true story of her life were written it would be an inspiration to history. She was one of the ones of whom Jesus spoke so often. Besides raising her own family she has cared for a large number of homeless children. She worked and struggled to the last refusing to leave her farm and farm life until her last sickness came on her about a year ago. She was taken to the home of her son Thomas where she died. I visited her within the last few weeks of her sickness and found her, though with weakened body, in clear mind. She said with a sweet, simple faith, "It won't be long now. I am only waiting for the end to come. I am ready to go when the door is opened. I have nothing to fear. I have done the best I could." OBITUARY: Cancer Kills An Aged Resident Mrs. Malinda Houpt Dies At The Home Of Her Son In Terre Haute Mrs. Malinda Houpt, an aged and respected woman of the county passed away Sunday afternoon at two o'clock at the home of her son, Thomas Houpt in Terre Haute. She was the widow of the late Thomas Houpt, one of the pioneer farmers of Sullivan county and was eighty-five years old at the time of her death. Her death was due to cancer of the stomach. Until about a year ago when she went to Terre Haute to live with her son, she was very active and did hard work that a woman much younger could not have done. She was a member of the Christian church and has been a splendid worker for the church interests. She is survived by one daughter, Mrs. Mary Burkhart of this city, and two sons, John C. Houpt of this city and Thomas Houpt of Terre Haute. The remains were brought here Monday afternoon and the funeral was held at the Christian church, the Rev. J.H. Vawter officiating. Interment was at Center Ridge. ~~ I ONLY LIST FAMILY MEMBERS. ~~
