Obituary

Mary Elizabeth Bennett was born at Utica, New York, on April 4, 1859, and was 
married to D. L. Kostenbader at Freeport, Illinois in October, 1882.  Six 
children were born to this union, namely, B. H. Kostenbader, of New Meadows, 
Idaho; Mrs. G. E. Tromly, of Kamela, Oregon; O. C. Kostenbader of Kennard, 
Pennsylvania; Mrs. Lloyd Richardson, of Ontario, Oregon, and Harry Kostenbader, 
who died in infancy.  The Kostenbader family moved to Payette in March, 1903, 
where Mrs. Kostenbader has made her home until the time of her death.  Besides 
her husband and the children who grew to manhood and womanhood, Mrs. 
Kostenbader leaves two sisters, Mrs. Emma Kostenbader, of Freeport, Illinois 
and Mrs. Harriet Latham, of Hazelton, Iowa.
All the children, who loved her very much, gathered from their distant homes to 
pay the last honors to their mother, and to be with their father in the time of 
his great need.  Funeral services were conducted from the family home on North 
Ninth Street, at 2 p.m., Saturday.  Rev. Argyl Houser of the Church of God, 
officiating.  Interment was made in Riverside Cemetery, the services at the 
grave being in charge of Lorraine Chapter, O. E. S. of which the deceased was a 
loyal member.
Until ill health claimed her, Mrs. Kostenbader took an active interest in the 
various women’s activities in Payette.  Always a faithful attendant at club or 
lodge, and always to the fore when there was work to be done.  She has been 
long missed during the months of her patiently borne suffering, and it is hard 
even now to realize that her cheery presence is no longer with us.
The large crowd attending the funeral, unremitting thoughtfulness of loving 
neighbors who for months have vied with each other in doing ’little things’ for 
her, are mute witnesses to the place she held in the heart of the community, 
and it is the heart of the community which goes out in sympathy to the mourners.
