Inez Lorene, daughter OF John
Alexander and Ida Cordella Simpson,
born in Arcadia, Mo, December
%, 1898. She was a very bright child
until she was about six years of age,
when a nervous affection posse ssed
her and greatly impaired her mental
powers and made her almost as help
less as a little child. Of course, this
afliction made heavy demands upon
all the members of the family, and es-
pecially so upon her mother, whose
constant devotion to her child was
very tender. This very service made
the daughter all the dearer to her
mother, and was a fulfllment of the
Masters sayings, "Where your
treasure is there will your heart be
also" She literally gave herself to
the child, and loved her all the more
because she did. To her, the loss is
very great. The same may be said of
her father, or rather step-father,
whose gentleness in his dealings with
her was such as to win from her a
marvellous affection for him, and made
her restless when he staid away be-
yond his time. Her favorite songs
were, "No, not one,' and "When th e
roll is called up yonder," the latter
being often sung by her. She is bet
ter now, for she knows even as she
is known. NELSON B. HENRY.

In MemoriaIn.
PATSY.

Minnie Alice, the daug hter of VIII
liam Columbus and Julia Thomas, was
born at Brunot, Wayne county, Mo-,
February 18th, 1876. Her early school
advantages were obtained in the
public schools at Brunot, and later on
at Ironton. For ten years she taught
in Missouri and Colorado.
Miss Thomas united with the
Methodist Church at Brunot in
August, 1891, and continued a faithful
member of the same throughout her
life.
At Paragould, Arkansas, on July 6,
1901, she was joined in matrimony to
Robert Lee Farmer. To them was
born one son Clifford Lee, now IL
years old. They resided at various
places in Arkansas, as the husbands
business required. The failing health
of sister Farmer led them to move to
Roswell, New Mexico, five years ago.
However, her health continued to
fail gradually until Sunday morning,
September 10th, 1915, when she was
called home. She suffered much, but
bore her affection with great fortitude.
She is better now, and resting in our
Fathers house.
Besides her griet stricken husband
and sorrowing son, she leaves to
mourn her loss, her mother, one
brother, one sister, and various other
relatives and friends, all of whom, lei
us hope, she will greet on their ar
rival i'in that City beyond Life's Sea, ~
