The community of Pinnacle was shocked Thursday evening, Jan 5, 1893, at the tidings of Mrs. Mary L. Schaub’s death. She was one of the most highly respected ladies of the community. So amiable, kind, and lady like. She was loved by all who knew her. The community has sustained a great loss in her death. But tis to her husband and five sons that the loss is greatest. To them it is irreparable. Her husband found in her a true help-meet and companion, and language cannot describe his feeling of loss and desolation. Her boys have lost a gentle and loving, but true and faithful mother. We feel for them and pray that this bereavement may be sanctified to their good. We pray also that the Lord may graciously comfort her mother and brothers. Mrs. Schaub’s maiden name was Mary Laura Grabs. She was born Feb 10, 1850 and was therefore in her 43rd year when she died, Jan 5th 1893. She made a profession of religion when she was 14 years of age and connected herself with the Crooked Run Methodist Protestant Church, near which she was raised. She did not have perfect satisfaction as to her conversion for several years, but 8 years ago she became fully assured that she was a child of God and has ever since been possessed of this sweet comfort. On the 20th of Jan 1870, she was united in marriage to Mr. W.H. Schaub, to whom she was a most devoted wife. The Lord gave them seven children, two of whom preceded her to the better world. She has entered into rest. How blest the righteous when she dies. The subject of the above memorial was buried at Mt. Pleasant. The funeral was preached by Rev. S. H. Helsabeck.
