                       Death Claims Mrs. E. O. Dunbar in San Antonio

  Mrs. E. O. Dunbar, one of Kimble county's best loved citizens, died in San Antonio
Wednesday, March 19, 1941, following a period of ill health extending back several
years.  She and her husband had recently gone to San Antonio for treatment, and
friends did not know the end was so near.
  The sad news of her untimely going spread rapidly over the county where she had 
many friends.
  Funeral services were held at the Copperas cemetery Thursday afternoon, with the
Rev. James J. Kellam, pastor of the Junction Baptist Church officiating.  Smith Funeral

Kimblerly, Idaho.
  Mr. and Mrs. Dunbar and children moved to Kimble county in May 1909, where they have 
lived since.  For many years she was a faithful member of the Bethel Baptist Church on
the North Llano, but in 1934, after the Bethel church ceased to hold regular services,
she and her husband united with the Junction Baptist Church.
  In the passing of such a noble woman as Mrs. Dunbar, it is difficult to pay a fitting 
tribute.  Her every day life was embellished by the charming and lovable attributes of
a noble Christian character.  No one was more willing to aid the suffering, cheer the
desponding, sustain the weak and to throw over the frailities of others a mantle of
