OBITUARY

Margaret Alger Laboyteaux was born Mar. 7, 1847 in Rockingham county, VA, near Timberville. At the age of 7 years, she came with her parents, Seth and Rosanna (Brock) Laboyteaux, to Henry county, IN and they settled in Middletown.
When a child of 12 years, she came to New Castle, where she made her home in the family of George W. Goodwin, Sr., until her marriage to James Laboyteaux, a worthy farmer, Jan. 8, 1867. At the age of 14, she became a member of the Christian Church under the labors of Benjamin Franklin.
They were married in the old Christian Church by Elder Joseph Franklin and went to housekeeping on the Stephen Laboyteaux farm, about 2 miles east of New Castle.
Mrs. Goodwin has said of "Mag", as she was familiarly known, that she never gave her a disrespectful word. Her memory will forever be enshrined in the affections of the Goodwins as an elder sister or mother.
She has been a real solace and helpmate to her companion, with whom she fought the battle of life for more than a quarter century, quietly acquiescing in all his plans for betterment.
At one time they moved to Iowa, driving through over corduroy roads in a wagon which had been filled up and equipped as a real home. Upon their return to New Castle, they located a short distance east of the city and later invested in a fine farm home near New Lisbon, where they made many friends and where she still held church membership. After living there a few years, they settled in Millville. Here, her earthly career came to a close in peace and contentment, Jan. 24, 1921, after rounding out almost 74 years of well spent life. Here, her home was open to teachers and others who were grateful for accommodation and insisted upon remaining under her motherly care.
Her latch-string was ever out and she dispensed cheer and hospitality to all who sought her shelter. She was greatly interested in the community life and the welfare of the school and the up-building of the church at heart. Through her influence and the earnest efforts of friends, the church membership was greatly increased.
Flowers, pictures and all the beauty of nature appealed to her noble soul. Hers was a sunny nature, akin to the flowers she loved so well, reflecting sunshine round about. She had said that when her time came she would like to be laid away in a bed of flowers, a wish that was practically fulfilled. She boar testimony to the loyalty of a devoted mother. Besides husband and children, she leaves nine grandchildren, two great-grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Anna Wood, of Middletown. Mrs. Wood is the last link of the family and between the two sisters was a deep bond of affection. The large number of friends, at the service, testified to the high esteem in which the deceased was held.
Rev. Charles E. Shultz spoke words of comfort and consolation to the family and interment was made at Batson Cemetery.
To the bereaved ones, we would say, "Weep not, for "She hath done what she could."
"I cannot say and I will not say
That she is dead, she is just away!
With a cheery smile and a wave of the hand,
She has wandered into an unknown land."
