MRS. D. L. KOSTENBADER

Mary Elizabeth Bennett was born at Utica, New York, April 4th, 1859 and died at 
her home in Payette, March 23, 1925.  She was united in marriage to D. L. 
Kostenbader at Freeport, Illinois, October 11th, 1882.  To this union six 
children were born, four sons and two daughters, one son, Harry, dying in 
infancy.
Mr. and Mrs. Kostenbader remained at Freeport five years after their marriage, 
moving at that time to Spencer, Iowa, and in March 1902 came to Payette, where 
they continued to make their home, and where Mrs. Kostenbader by her kindness 
and sweet disposition endeared herself to many friends.  While not physically 
strong, she was always ready and willing to assist in civic and social affairs 
that were for the betterment of the town and community, and no woman was more 
devoted to her home and family.  She became a member of the Presbyterian church 
when a girl, to which faith she held fast and continued to trust her savior to 
the last.  
She is survived by her husband, D. L. Kostenbader, three sons and two 
daughters, B. H. Kostenbader of New Meadows, Idaho; Mrs. G. E. Tromly of 
Kamela, Oregon; O. C. Kostenbader of Kennerd, Pennsylvania; E. V. Kostenbader 
of Payette and Mrs. Lloyd Richardson of Ontario, Oregon, all of who were 
present at the funeral.  She is also survived by two sisters, Mrs. Emma 
Kostenbader of Freeport, Illinois, (whose husband is a brother of D. L. 
Kostenbader) and Mrs. Harriet Latham of Hazelton, Iowa.
Funeral services were held at the home Saturday at 2:00 p.m.  Conducted by Rev. 
Houser, where many and beautiful floral offerings were expressions of love and 
affection for the departed one.  Services at Riverside cemetery were in charge 
of the Eastern Star of which order the deceased was a member.
