In that world so fair.
We know that she is waiting,
Now at the golden gate,
To meet with those that loved her
In that world of joy so great.
Weep not for me my parents dear
I have gone to rest you need not fear,
My stay was short as now you see
Therefore prepare to follow me.

JIMARS,
Clarence Franklin **
Obituary
Clarence Franklin Jirmars,
youngest son of Mr. and Mrs. Michael Jirmars, who was
born on April 27, 1908, passed away on Nov. 13, 1929; age twenty-one years, six
months and sixteen days.
Clarence spent his entire lifehood
with his mother and father on the home farm, located eight miles north of
Bucklin, Missouri, assisting in every way possible to make things just a little
more pleasant for them.
He attended Warner District School until
graduation, and immediately subsequent to his graduation he chose as his life’s
work the occupation of farming, and at all times manifesting a great interest
in the welfare of his home and community at large.
Besides being a kind, thoughtful, loving and
obedient son, he was a real partner in interest with his mother and father, and
hand in hand they together pursued the occupation of farming, sharing equally
the results of their combined conscientious efforts. Clarence of his own volition assumed the
moral obligation of caring for his mother and father, and was especially
devoted to his mother, never failing to do the little things that would
directly or indirectly lighten the burden placed upon her, as a mother, and
make her just little more happy.
Beside leaving a vast number of friends and
relatives, he left a sad and broken-hearted mother and father, and three
brothers to mourn his sad death and departure.
The three brothers are: John A. Jirmars, Bucklin,

it yieldeth the peaceable fruit of righteousness unto

gave, the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the name of the Lord.” “We shall meet her some day in heaven.”

Obituary
Thomas Roscoe Jones was born in Bucklin,
He was the youngest child of Lucile and
Samuel Jones both of whom have gone to their reward in heaven. He was kind and obedient and much loved by
all who knew him.
When but a child he professed a hope in
Christ and like a star he continued to grow brighter and brighter. At the age of 16 he acknowledged a call to
the ministry and at once began to prepare himself for that work.
He was a graduate from the Academic
Department of Western College,
His first Pastoral charge was at Sturgeon,
We rejoice that here the busy tasks of life
urge us up and bear us on, we may find consolation in this hour of thoughtful
consideration of one we have “loved and lost awhile.” The world is not ruled by chance, and a good
true, beautiful life is not an accident.
It is a growth of small deeds well done, small thoughts that are true
growing into greater ones, right ideas growing into great ideas. Such was his life, a life never forgetting
its source, a life deep and beautiful, a life making the home a home indeed, a
life that went beyond the home to “rejoice with those that rejoice, and weep
with those that weep.”
In the year of 1913 his health beginning to
fail he was compelled to give up his charges and go west with a desire of
regaining his health. For a short time
he seemed to improve and being inspired by his Gospel calling, he accepted the
pastorate of
In the midst of his accomplishing efforts his
health again failed him and he was compelled to resign and return home. He was at home almost three weeks and during
this time continued to grow weaker. He
was a patient sufferer, and always seemed reconciled to wait upon the Lord.
On Thursday morning, May 7, about 9 o’clock
the Angel of God summoned him into his peaceful presence.
Since he has gone we can rest assured that
the works which he has left us will live in the hearts and minds of the people
among whom he labored.
We know that while time will sear over the first
agony, deep down in our hearts will always be felt a sense of loss, but so sure
are we of the immortal welfare of our beloved we can almost see him in the
blessed land as he praised the Master and Maker of us all. Truly when we think of him we may say with
John of the Revelations: “And I heard a
voice from heaven saying, “Write Blessed are the dead in which die in the Lord
from henceforth; Yea saith the Spirit; that they may
rest from their labours and their works do follow
them.”
He leaves to mourn his demise a step-mother,
two sisters, two nieces, a number of other relatives and a host of friends.

KELSO, Margaret Adeline Cohoon (nee Davolt)
Kelso
In the quiet hours of the morning just as the new day was silently
breaking a precious life ebbed its way into the mysterious realm beyond. The death angel had flitted again into our
midst and its summons had been answered.
It was at this time that the soul of Grandmother Kelso left its earthly
home and in so passing it became immortal.
Margaret Adeline Davolt was born October 14,
1851 and departed this life November 10, 1935, having reached the age of 84
years and 26 days at the time of her death.
On August 30th, 1866 she was united in marriage to Wm. C. Cohoon. To this
union 4 children were born, Mrs. Benton Mattingly, Yarrow,
On June 12, 1879 Mr. Cohoon passed away and she
was left a widow with these small children to care for. After tenderly and watchfully caring for her
children for five years she was again married and became the wife of Isaac
Kelso.
To this union two children were born, Mrs. Gladys Wright and a son,
Leslie, both of Ethel.
On February 11, 1923 Mr. Kelso passed away and since that time she liver
with her son, Leslie. Besides the five
children, who were at her bedside when the end came, she leaves to mourn her
departure 17 grandchildren, 29 great grandchildren and 6 great great grandchildren.
Two brothers, Wm. of Bucklin,
She was a member of the Christian Church and was sincere and earnest in
her religious convictions. She was a
Christian of the highest type as she always cleaved to that which was right and
good and abhorred that which was false and wrong.
As a mother, sister, friend and neighbor Grandmother Kelso ranked among the
finest that God ever sent to this earth for her children she lived a life of
unselfish devotion, always endeavoring to do things for their satisfaction and
enjoyment.
To everyone else she was nothing less than a mother she was good to
everyone, no matter who it was and tried always to help others over the steep
and rocky places of life’s journey.
Even though this mother, grandmother, relative and friend has departed
forever from us, each of us whom are sorrowing find consolation when we look
back and see what a useful and beautiful life she has lived. Again we are condoled when we know that all
of these things which have impressed our lives and have been written on the
sands of time, have also been written in God’s record books of Heaven. To all those who remain the life of
Grandmother Kelso is a challenge.
For 84 years she has witnessed the changes in a swift moving world. She has lived through periods of depression,
temptations, joys and sorrows and each time she has been the victor.
Never once was she undaunted by all of life’s incessant surging
elements. May all whom are left behind
look to his life as a model, so they too when the summons calls them to join
that innumerable caravan that moves on and on into eternity, be prepared, as
Grandmother Kelso was to pass on into the land of everlasting rest and pleasant
dreams.

entered his home and claimed his companion, and then about 18 years ago he was
called the second time to part with the wife who had shared life’s blessings
and sorrows for many years with him. But
through all the blessings and sorrows of life he proved faithful unto the
end. Just a few hours before his death,
he asked for Rev. Buckner to come and pray with him, which he seemed to
appreciate.

LANGWELL., Cora May **
Obituary
Cora May Langwell, daughter of William and Mary
Langwell, was born in
Her childhood was spent in the Linhart chapel
neighborhood until April 1914, when she moved with her parents to the St.
Catherine community. The family home was
here until the time of her death. She attended
country school at the
Cora was converted several years ago and since has been one of the finest
Christian believers; it has ever been the privilege of the writer to meet. Her ideas were very clear cut and she was
absolutely unswerving in her religious convictions. Her Faith had removed the fear of death and
to her the time of leaving friends and loved ones was a time of gladness and
thanksgiving. She left us with joy in
her heart because she knew she was going to meet the Master. The world would be a much happier place if
more people had the sublime faith that this girl had. She has taken something from the community
that has not only been a source of strength and comfort to her family but to
her friends as well. Even in her
sickness members of the family consulted with her in regard to business matters
and other personal affairs. Her judgment
was always good. She truly was an
exceptional character.
Several years ago Miss Langwell contracted
tuberculosis and felt from the beginning that she had no chance. It seemed that from that time she tried to be
a model of courage and Faith to all who visited her. Few sick people had had more affection or
greater gifts bestowed upon them than she.
Flowers, books, handkerchiefs, and all the little gifts that mean so
much to an invalid were gladly received by her and her expressions of
appreciation were simple proof of her gratitude.
Cora is the second member of the family to go, a brother, Ralph, dying on
an operating table April the 4th, 1918, at the age of 11 years. With these two exception the large family
circle is unbroken. There are left to
share the burden with each other, father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. Wm. Langwell; 5 sisters, Mrs. C. E. Bruner, of Marceline, Mo.;
Mrs. Enoch Landreth, of Marceline; Mrs. Guy Wolfe, of
Ft. Madison, Iowa; Mrs. Geo. Clark, of Brookfield; Jessie at home; four
brothers, W. R. of Marceline; C. F. , of Kansas City, Kans.; E. H. of St.
Catherine, Mo., Vesta at home, and many other relatives
and friends.
Funeral services were conducted at Wyandotte Chapel and the body lowered
into a grave covered with flowers, May 10th, 1926. Peace to his ashes.

LARSON, Charles
Charley Larson
Dead
Last Friday
morning, Charles Larson, of the Swedish community north of town, passed
away. The immediate cause of his death
was injuries received some three weeks ago while unloading timber. Since then he has been hovering between life
and death until about a week ago when it become apparent that the man with the
scythe would win. At times there seemed
to be hopes of his recovery, because of his wonderful rallies, but even his
strong constitution and unusual vitality could not overcome the serious nature
of his wounds or the ravages of the fever.
His loss will
be felt in home, church and community.
He was one of those rare men, who take an interest in all good
enterprises and unselfishly give their best to all. When you met him you felt that you had before
you a man, gentle, strong, pure hearted and true. As a church member and S. S. teacher he was
noted for his earnestness and zeal.
During the last
few years he was the chairman of the
The funeral was
held Sunday, Aug. 25, at 2 o’clock from the home, and three o’clock from the
church. That almost the entire community
was out to pay the last respects to the beloved brother and friend, could be
seen from the fact that the church could not hold them all, and there were just
as many outside as inside. Rev. Hess of
the Bucklin M. E. Church and Rev. Lindbland, the
Church’s pastor, spoke, the choir sang very beautiful and fitting songs, and
when the last strain of music had died away, and the last word had been spoken,
Charles Larson, man of God, brother to his friends, friend to the unfortunate,
was laid to rest.
He leaves a widow,
two stepchildren, four children, one brother and three sisters. May God strengthen them and comfort in this
their sorrow.

dreams of the future were being realized.
Alas! This was not to last long,
he soon began to fail, doctors told him he was just getting acclimated, and
that he was homesick. He thought if that
was all he could soon fight it out, however the deadly work was going on, next
they thought it typhoid. He went to the
hospital at Manilla several times, finally they
decided he had Tuberculosis so he prepared to come home at once.
This was a
trying ordeal, while he was always cheerful and never a word of complaint, yet
in his diary he could scarcely conceal his anguish and disappointment. One quotation was this, “You gave me my work
to do, you brought and set it before me; I laughed with the laughter of one
seeing, who understands; I bent to the task elate, zeal like a mantle o’er
me. Why did you break my wrists and
shatter the strength of my hands?”
