MUNDELL, Hugh S. - H.S. Mundell died last Wednesday night at ten o'clock at his home in the northeast part of this city. As stated in our last issue, he had been very low for several days and his death hourly expected. The illness that led to his death extended over a period of several years. He was seventy-eight years, three months and sixteen days old. Funeral services were held Friday morning at the residence at ten o'clock, conducted by Presiding Elder F.S.H. Johnston, assisted by Rev. Margeson. So heavy a rain fell all morning that it was impossible for many of the friends to attend. Burial was at the Barron cemetery, south west of town. Mr. Mundell had lived here for twenty-three years and was one of our oldest citizens. Owning 80 acres of orchard within the city limits, he was able to consider himself a Rogers citizen and yet to devote most of his time to agricultural pursuits. Mr. Mundell was born at Centerville, Green county, Penn. January 31st, 1827. Moved to Tyler county, Va. in 1837 and to Shelby, Mo. in 1849. In 1865 he moved to Clarke county, Iowa where he remained only a short time, coming to Benton county, Arkansas the following spring. He bought a farm five miles south west of Bentonville where he resided until he came to Rogers in the spring of 1882. On January 13th {no year given} he was married to Tabitha P. Morton who died here in 1898. To them were born eight children, all of whom are now living. They are: Mrs. W.A. Blankenship, Shawnee, Okla.; W.A. Mundell, Rogers; H.F. Mundell, Ind. Ter.; S.F. Mundell, Brent, I.T.; E.D. Mundell, Muskogee; Mrs. Ida V. Dyer, Mountain Grove, Mo.; H.H. Mundell, Pearl, Ark.; Mrs. Daisy D. Brady, Paris, Texas. All but two of them, H.F. and H.H. were here at the funeral.

Tabitha P. Morton Mundell was born in Charitan County, Missouri December 31, 1833. She was married to H.S. Mundell Jan. 13, 1853. She was converted and joined the Methodist church in 1857. She became a resident of Arkansas in 1866 and of Rogers shortly after its founding. Her name was enrolled among the first member of the Rogers M.E. church, South. March 9 at 9 o'clock was the date of her death. As a wife Sister Mundell was ever helpful, loving and true. She doubled all her husband's joys and halved every sorrow. Her words of encouragement lighted many a dark hour while her smile added to the time of gladness. Such a wife is God's best gift to man. No one but those who were most intimate in their relationship can realize in the full sense what a mother has left the Mundell home forever. Her boys and girls have lost as true, loving, gentle, faithful a mother as ever graced a home. As each child looks back along the years and recalls all the fine caresses and loving words he will know even then but in part what a mother has been taken away. Sister Mundell's christian life was written not in words but in deeds. Her noble example of a Christian woman shall always live. True to her church yet broad in her views she lived the life that Dorcas, Mary and the noble women of old lived. Through the long, long months of pain and suffering she trusted in her Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and gently passed away in the morning hours. We laid her away in the bosom of Mother Earth and over the grass grown grave the violets and forget-me-nots will bloom while the night bird sings in the trees, the snows of winter will spread their mantle of white cover the low mound, but only her body lies there, her soul is far away in the regions of the blessed awaiting the last, glad day to be reunited with the buried body.
