Mary Isabelle Cobban-Ingle

The relatives and personal friends of Sister Mary Cobban-Ingle were made inexpressibly sad by the word flashed over the cable from Africa the eighth of March, telling of her death. Letters had told of a slight illness, but none, even in Africa, supposed it was serious until the close. Mary Isabelle Cobban-Ingle was born at Howard, S. Dak., Oct. 21, 1884, and died at Durban, Natal, South Africa, March 8, 1914, after an illness of about three months. She was baptized by Elder G. B. Tripp at the age of ten years. She received her education in our own schools, having attended school at Battle Creek, Graysville, Mount Vernon, and South Lancaster. She finished the normal course at South Lancaster in the spring of 1908, and began teaching in the Takoma Park church school in the fall of the same year. In December she was invited by the Mission Board to connect with Claremont Union College, South Africa. She sailed on the eighteenth of December. After being connected with the college for some time, she went to Rhodesia and continued school work, returning after two years to serve one year in the college. She was married Nov. 15, 1912, to Brother Arthur Ingle. They made their home in Durban. The sweet, sunny, modest life of Sister Mary won the heart love of those with whom she had close association. It was a sad day for her children in the Takoma Park school when she left them for Africa. What comfort there is in the glorious and sure hope that these broken ties will soon be restored! The funeral services were conducted by Elder O. K. Butler. She was laid to rest in a cemetery on a hill overlooking the blue, sparkling waters of the

Bay of Durban. Her husband, parents, one sister, and one brother are left to wait and work until the Life-giver returns to call her forth to a glorious and immortal life. A. G. DANIELLS.
