And a Christian Woman of High Ideals Passes Away.
The many friends in Franklin are distressed and sorrowful over the death of Mrs. Helen L. Dungan, wife of Prof. James M. Dungan, who died Sunday afternoon at4:00 at her home, 2248 Broadway, Indianapolis, after an illness of some time from heart trouble.
The funeral will be held Wednesday afternoon at 2:00, Rev. T. Grafton of the Third Christian church conducting the services. Burial will be in Greenlawn cemetery, Franklin, where lie the three children born to Prof. and Mrs. Dungan. Accompanied by relatives and friends, the body will be brought to Franklin on a special interurban car leaving Indianapolis at 3:00, reaching here at 4:00, a short service being held at the grave.
Deceased was born in Millersburg, Ohio, April 10, 1855 and was entering her sixtieth year. She was the second daughter of A. J. Silcott and of this family she is survived by an elder sister, Mrs. Mary Wood of Los Angeles, California.
Mrs. Dungan attended Hiram college, Ohio, and later the Dana Musical Institute at Warren, Ohio. It was while a student in the musical school she met Prof. Dungan of Franklin and they were married on August 4, 1875. For a time they lived at Cincinnati and later came to Franklin, building and occupying the home now owned by Mrs. Emma Hungate on Kentucky street, until about 1895 when they moved to Indianapolis where Prof. Dungan took charge of a musical school and where he had a wider field for his rare musical talent.
While a resident of Franklin, Mrs. Dungan became an ardent member of the Woman's Christian Temperance Union and identified herself in the woman's work of the Christian church, work in which she had a peculiar gift as an executive of the Franklin chautuqua course, a society maintained here in earlier years.
To Mr. and Mrs. Dungan were born three children, Ada and Josephine, who died in early life, and Fred, who reached young manhood and whose death was a great shock.
Mrs. Dungan early became interested in mission work, as indeed she interested herself in all Christian endeavor, and at the time of her death she was recording secretary of the Christian Woman's Board of Missions, an office she had filled with great acceptability and efficiency.
Her musical training was exceptional and she had directed it along the writing of words for songs and she was the author of upwards of three hundred songs, that had been set to music by her husband, Prof. Dungan, and many of them are in use in Sabbath schools and evangelistic work. A favorite was, "If There is Sunshine in Your Heart," and in this thought Mrs. Dungan seemed to live daily, even in time of deepest personal sorrows. Other songs were, "Bring Peace to My Soul" and "He Has Led Us."
Deceased was a woman of lovely Christian character, deep sympathy and charity. She was a woman who made others better for knowing her and who left her impress of Christian character and grace upon all with whom she came in contact. In her death an irreparable loss is sustained by all her associates and particularly by the bereaved husband who will have the sympathy of all.
