     Mary Jane Semple was born on 17 July 1836 at Steubenville, Jefferson County, OH, USA.3 She was the daughter of Alexander Whiteside Semple and Mary Finley. She married Henry W. Hotchkin at Steubenville, Jefferson County, OH, on 21 October 1860.4,5 Mary Jane Semple appeared on the census of 1900 at Durant, Choctaw Nation, Indian Territory, USA. The census lists the family as: Mary J. Hotchkin, age 63, b 7-1836 in OH; dau Lucy K., age 22, b 8-1877 in Ind. Terr; dau Hettie D., age 21, b 1-1879 in Ind. Terr., gs Ebenezer Walner, age 11, b 8-1888 in Ind. Terr., gd Marie Hotchkin, age 11, b 10-1888 in Ind. Terr. 14 184 10 5. She died on 31 August 1917 at Stigler, Haskell County, OK, USA, at age 81. Ernest Trice Thompson in Presbyterian Missions in the Southern United States, says that Mary was a cultured young society girl who had cane to Indian Territory by boat and wagon in 1856 at the age of nineteen. She married Henry while at Bennington in 1860. Mary taught school and the family lived in Caddo from 1883 to 1887, and then in Paul's Valley until 1891, and then Wynnewood for the next five years. She was placed in charge of the Oklahoma Presbyterian College for Girls after its formation in 1896. With the able assistance of her son Ebenezer, this school grew. Mary consecrated her life and her forty years of service to the Indians. Besides being a teacher, she worked as a friend, nurse, doctor and spiritual advisor. Into her classroom at every station she carried her bible and taught it just as she taught her regular classes. It was a habit of hers to give away marked copies of the New Testament. Her last words as she lay dying were "Thy word is a lamp unto my feet." Mary's piousness was shown by an event that happened late in her life when she was returning from Oregon to Oklahoma where she had been ministering to the Klamath Indians and visiting her son Alex. Her children were waiting for her at the train station but she did not return as expected. They found her the following day getting off the train and her explanation was that it had been a Sunday and she felt that she must not ride the train on a day that she should be in church. She had made a stop to attend church. Mary is buried in the Stigler City Cemetery under a white marble stone, that the Compiler had to remove the weeds from to read the inscription, "Came to Indian Territory as a Missionary to the Choctaw Indians in 1857. Taught for 40 years among the Choctaws and Chickasaws."
Her obituary, published in the Durant newspaper (name and date not on the clipping), is worth copying completely. "The death of Mrs. Hotchkin on last Friday evening at Stigler, Oklahoma marked the passage of a long life in the Indian service. During the past three years her work has been among the Klamath Indians of Oregon. Last January the department gave her a vacation and she came east to visit her son, E. Hotchkin, of this place, and two daughters, Hettie McIntire and Lucy K. Forrest of Stigler, OK. She suffered a stroke of paralysis in July and lingered in a paralyzed condition until August 31 when she died. Mrs. Hotchkin was born in 1836 in Steubenville, Ohio. She came to the Choctaw country as a mission teacher in 1857. The journey was a memorable one . . . down the Mississippi by boat to Gaines Landing and across the state of Arkansas in wagons. Her first year was at Wheelock. The children were all Indian , none of them knew any English and she knew no Choctaw. Yet at the end of the year, she knew Choctaw and they could speak and write English. She taught Indian schools 40 consecutive years, teaching at Wheelock, Goodwater, Mayhew, Old Bennington, Caddo, Chikika, Wynnewood, and Durant. She came to Durant in 1896 with her son, E. Hotchkin, and taught in the Calvin Institute. Durant College grew out of this school and later Oklahoma Presbyterian College. Mrs. Hotchkin was married in 1860 to Henry W. Hotchkin, son of Ebenezer Hotchkin, missionary to the Choctaws in Mississippi in 1828. Nine children were born of this union, six of whom are yet living
Mary tells her own story of how she became a Missionary in The Presbyterian Survey, dated Oct 1935. She said that the story started when Dr. Scudder, of India, visited Steubenville, Ohio in 1846 or 1848 and lectured to the Sunday school children in the Second Presbyterian Church. When he closed his lecture, he said, When you go home ask your mother to let you write in your bible, "Mr. Schudder asked me to be a Missionary." Mary did write this in her bible at the age of 10 or 12 years old and over the following years wondered if she were really meant to be a Missionary. Mary says that she was totally unprepared for the hard life in Indian country and at one early point, Dr. Kingsbury offered to send her home.
Shortly after her husband Henry's death Mary had a serious accident. She was thrown from a buggy by a team of young mules and left in the woods for some time with a broken hip. The hip never healed properly and for the rest of her life she walked.3 She was buried in September 1917 at Stigler Cemetery, at Stigler, Haskell County, OK, USA. This grave has been viewed and photographed by the Compiler.

She was placed in charge of the Oklahoma Presbyterian College for Girls after its formation in 1896. With the able assistance of her son Ebenezer, this school grew. The school was originally named the Calvin Institute after Rev. C. J. Ralston gave $200 to the Home Missions Committee to establish the school in memory of his son who drowned at the age of 4 years. The school had originally been under the direction of Rev. R. K. Mosely from 1894 to 1896 until the responsibility was given to Mary in 1896. Mary consecrated her life and her forty years of service to the Indians. Besides being a teacher, she worked as a friend, nurse, doctor and spiritual advisor.
