During Mr. Pannell’s residence here, he was on one occasion presented an

leaves the set to the Trinity Episcopal Church here and the communion set was 
brought to El Dorado by the Penwells when they returned last night.

IN MEMORY OF ALFRED W. PANNELL 

News that the first units of a memorial for Rev. Alfred W. Pannell will be 
dedicated at Trinity Episcopal Church Sunday morning should awaken blessed 
memories in this town. For it was in El Dorado that Alfred Pannell gave most 
freely and usefully of his all-too-short life and it is here that there should 
be an abiding remembrance of him. Modest, unassuming, sincere, tireless and 
godly – Alfred Pannell poured his talents into many channels of service. His 
hand was ever out to help the fallen, to render aid to those in need of it. No 
more self-sacrificing citizen ever appeared on El Dorado’s list of residents, 
and the dedication of the memorial to him is one in which not only the church 
he served, but the entire community, should have a part.
