One of the largest funerals held in
Des Arc for some time was that Of
Miss 1nez McCallister, daughter of
Tobe McCallister, a prominent farmer
OF Clarks Creek. The funeral was
conducted by Rev. j. T. Collins, for.
mer pastor of the Baptist church
here. She was II devout Christian
and her pastor spoke very highly of
her influence in the home and COM
munity. She had been i'll for several
months; all that medical skill and
kindly care could accomplish was
done for her, but it was Of no avail;
her gentle spirit left the wearied body
for the beautiful home Of God. Only
q short time ago the brother, Melvin,
who died at Camp Funston, was
brought home for burial. The sorrow
that has come into this home by the
taking away of these bright young
people seems hard to bear, but it is q
great consolation to know that they
were true disciples Of Jesus Christ,
and the beautiful Christian life which
these young people led will be an un.
failing source of inspiration and help.
