Bio
From the Whitney Messenger January 19, 1901: About 12:30 last Saturday afternoon Mrs. M. K. Eubank died at the home in this city of her son, C.W. Eubank, at the age of 82 years, 8 months and 23 days. Her death was caused by general infirmities attendant upon old age. Interment was had at the old Fort Graham cemetery Sunday afternoon, which was largely attended. A funeral service was had at the residence of C.W. Eubank at 12 o'clock Sunday, conducted by Rev. J. W. Fort. Mrs. Eubank was the mother of C.W. and R.A. Eubank and Mrs. G.W. Bowers, and has resided in this section for years, having made her home with C.W. Eubank in Whitney for the last ten years. To furnish a biographical sketch of this aged and respected lady, The Messenger reproduces the following from a book in which she wrote the few lines about herself, and signed her name to it on May 16, 1897. M. K. Eubank was born in Wilson County, near Lebanon, in Tennessee, on April 211, 1818. My father moved from Wilson County to Haywood County, West Tennessee, 1826. On December 2, 1834, I was married to John T. Eubank, in the same county. In February, 1837, we immigrated with my father, Charles White, to Texas. We stopped in Nacogdoches County until September of the same year. We moved west of the Brazos River to Yellow Prairie. The Indians were so bad we moved to Independence, Washington County, in 1838. In the Fall of 1839 we moved over into Grimes County. We remained there until 1844, when we moved up near Anderson, Grimes County. In 1850 we moved to Waco and settled on the Bosque River, near where Bosqueville now is. The county was not organized then. From there we moved to Fort Graham, Hill County, in 1856, where my husband died in August, 1861. I am still living in Hill County with my children. This is as far as I can go - the remainder of my life is in the future. I am now 79 years old. I have passed through all the hardships of an old Texan. I thank God that I have lived to see better days - M.K.E. Whitney, May 16, 1897.
