          Death is no respector of persons.  He invades whereso-er he may.  Not counting the cost nor considering the fearful inroad he makes.  At 2:45 o'clock May 10, 1919, the grim monster entered the Unger home and claimed for his victim the wife and mother.
          Mrs. Malinda Margaret Unger  was born July 27, 1847 in Marion township, Shelby county, 5 miles south of Morristown.  She was the daughter of  Wm. and Louisa Cook.  Her entire life has been spent in this vicinity.
          On Feb. 23, 1864 she was married to  John Unger.  To this union was born 9 children, 5 boys and 4 girls.  All live in the locality except  Charles Unger, who lives near Noblesville and  Mrs. Margaret Jane Robins, who lives near Knightstown.
          The youngest daughter is 35 years old.
          Besides these children she leave to mourn her departure, two half brothers, one at Shelbyville and one at Anderson and a step sister at Anderson.
          This home has been established over half a century.  The nine children have grown to mature manhood and womanhood and this is the first death in the family.  The blow falls exceedingly heavy.  Removing the very life and light of the home they all revered.  The descendants of the family number 28 grandchildren and 25 great-grandchildren.  These later advents into the family almost as close to the grandmothers heart as her own children.
          Mrs. Unger and Mr. Unger united with the United Brethren church at Liberty some years ago.  Both were converted. when moving north of this city, they placed their membership with U. B. church at Gwynneville.  Later moving to Morristown they affiliated with the Methodist Episcopal church under the pastorate of  Bro. Guthrie.
          In 1914 Mr. and Mrs. Unger celebrated their Golden Wedding.
