A Tribute

1t seems fitting that one who has
known Alice Farr for many years should
pay Il brief tribute to her memory
Il tribute that can but fcebly voice the
love and esteem in which she was held
by all.
Giving the best within herself to
whatever was for the moment her duty
or task. she was true and loyal friend,
with high ideals. How characteristic of
her that she sought out and helped in
their homes those less fortunate in
worldly goods She gave herself 50 low
inglly and tirelcssly to her chosen work
that she won the esteem and love of
all. Her life was an inspiration, while
she was radiant with hope and health
and ST rcngth
She dropped the shuttle, the loom
stood still, the weaver slept in the twi-
light grcy Dear Heart, you will weave
Your beautiful web in the golden light
of a longer day.
