A very impressive memorial service was held for Mrs. D. F. Mast, in connection with the Womans' (sic) Missionary Society at the home of Miss Gladys Taylor on Saturday afternoon. A portion of the 31st chapter of Proverbs, which a very fitting description of Mrs. Mast's life, was ready by Mrs. J. M. Shull. Resolutions of respect, written by Mrs. N. L. Mast, Mrs. P. S. Spainhour and Rev. Mr. Parker, were offered by the former. A most appropriate prayer was then given by Mrs. C. D. Taylor. A beautiful poem, "She is not Dead, was effectively read by Mrs. P. G. Spainhour after which Rev. Parker gave a very inspiring talk on the effect that a useful Christian life, such as Mrs. Mast lived, should be a living example. Mr. Ray Farthing who is attending North Carolina State College, arrived home Friday afternoon for a short visit with his parents. Mrs. Joe E. Mast is slowly improving after having been indisposed with a sever cold for the past few days. The sad passing of our dear Aunt Josie brought many friends and relatives to the D. F. Mast home among who were Mrs. Jenny Harmon of Richmond, Indiana and Mrs. E. P. Lund of Summerfield, N. J. Mrs. Harmon plans an indefinite stay with her mother. Owing to Rev. Dargan Butt’s recent illness, he was unable to fill hiss regular appointment at the Holy Cross Episcopal Church Sunday. Miss Polly Basom of Glendale springs is spending some time as guest of Mrs. W. H. Wagner. Dr. and Mrs. R. O. Glenn of Mountain City spent Sunday with Mrs. Glenn’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Shull. In the afternoon Mrs. Shull accompanied them home for a few days’ visit.
