Braymer Bee, Braymer, Mo., 21 Mar 1928

SUDDEN DEATH OF MRS. S. F. FARRAR FRIDAY NIGHT

	As related in last week’s Bee, Mr. (sic) S. F. Farrar arrived home 
from New York Friday morning, March 9th, and the following Sunday went to 
Kansas City to a hospital, for an operation for cancer.  The operation was 
performed Wednesday morning and she recovered from the anasthetic (sic) 
nicely, seemingly doing very well until Friday.  Another light anaestic (sic) 
was necessary to correct a kidney difficulty and she seemed to be getting on 
very nicely, until a very short time before the end came - at about midnight 
Friday.
	Our community has seldom been so shocked or dismayed.  Mr. Farrar was 
in the south, making a business trip with J. R. Dalbey.  Their destination was 
known, but the time at which they were to be at any one place was not known.  
So in spite of every possible effort on behalf of the family the news of her 
serious condition or death did not reach them until yesterday in the early 
afternoon when they were met at Waverly bridge on their way home.
	Mr. Farrar stood the shock of the terrible news as one who bows in his 
strength to the Great Inevitable.  It was a sad home coming indeed.
	The remains, accompanied by two sons Lynn and S. F. Jr., and daughter 
Miss Mariam and Mrs. Lutie Barger, arrived home on the limited Sunday night 
and the remains lay in state at the family home in this city until the funeral 
this afternoon.
	Mrs. Farrar was a most gracious lady - kindly almost to a fault, 
charitable in her judgments, keenly intelligent in her conceptions, ideal as a 
mother and a home maker.  She was a devoted Christian, a sainted Godly woman.  
What more is there to say, save that in her loving kindness she had won the 
affection of all with whom she come in contact.  
	The funeral services took place at 2 o‘clock this afternoon.  The 
business houses were all closed from 2 to 3.  The Baptist church was filled 
and the overflow packed the church yard.  The services were conducted by Rev. 
E. Riddle, pastor of the church of which Mrs. Farrar had long been a loved and 
honored member.
	The burial at Evergreen Cemetery was as of one we love who is gone on, 
and the fullness of her life beckons us all to the higher and better things.
