Parental award to Mrs. Warren Rash and Mrs. Clyde Eubank



"At Madison at the Christian Church, Sunday morning, Mrs. Della Rash,
widow of the late Warren Rash, Granville, northwest of Paris, and Mrs.
Mary G. Eubank, widow of the late Clyde Eubank, of Madison, received the
annual Kate Nolen Parental Award. Presiding at the presentation was
Rev. Milton Windham of Columbia. Representing the Nolen family were Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph Nolen and Olliver W. Nolen, and members of the Russell
Johnson family, all of Paris. The award was officially presented by
Miss Bonnie Johnson, daughter of Mrs. and Mrs. Russell Johnson, and a
great niece of the late Mrs. Nolen. The Kate Nolen parental Award is
provided each year by Attorney Olliver W. Nolen of Paris in memory of
his mother. It goes to the parents of five or more children of
outstanding ability and accomplishments, on the theory that the
qualities of the parents are reflected in the accomplishments, character
and record of the children. Judging is done by the mayors of Madison,
Paris and Monroe City from record submitted to them on each couple of
person nominated. Any one may nominate a couple, or as in the case of
this year's award, widows or widowers.



Mrs. Eubank, widow of the late Clyde Eubank, taught school for five
years, and was one of the editors of the Madison Times from 1937 to
1944. She has been a housewife most of her life. She is a member of
the Madison Christian Church. Mrs. Eubank told trustees of the Nolen
fund that she had given religious training to her family, seeing that
they attended Sunday School and preaching services and took part in all
church activities. In them she instilled a sense of moral values,
honesty, responsibility and dependability in home and community. Habits
of work were taught each child, as they shared in the work at the home
and did odd jobs away from the home to earn their spending money and to
teach tem proper values. Each child was given all the aid possible in
getting their education, but much of the money required each one earned.
Her husband, Clyde Eubank, died in 1937. For many years he was partner
and co-editor of the Times. The children of Mrs. Eubank are:
