MOTHER OF LOCAL MINISTER
DIED IN ST. LOUIS JULY 21ST

Mary E. Pinkley was born October 16, 1878, near Glover, Missouri, and departed this life Wednesday, July 21, 1943, at the age of 64 years, 9 months and 5 days.

She was united in marriage to Robert Lee Lewis on December 27, 1897. To this union were born three children, Everett, Burland who preceded her in death, and Ellis Lewis. Mr. Lewis died February 5, 1906. She reared her two sons to manhood on a farm on Carver Creek.

On July 13, 1926, she was again married to Finice Winder and they made their home in St. Louis for a number of years prior to her death. Besides the devoted husband, she is survived by two sons, Rev. Everett Lewis of Ironton, Mo.; Rev. Ellis Lewis, of Wellston, Mo.; one stepson, Lester Winder, one stepdaughter, Florence Haggon, St. Louis, Mo.; eleven grandchildren, one sister, of Grass Range, Montana, and a host of friends.

She was converted early in life and later united with the Church of the Nazarene at Sabula, Mo. In October, 1941, she was received into the Golden Sate Church of the Nazarene in St. Louis, where she lived a faithful and loyal member until He, who doth allthings well, transferred her to her eternal Home.

The greatest day of her entire life was in the year 1940 when both her sons were ordained into the ministry at Poplar Bluff, a moment she ever held sacred. We will miss her, yes, but our loss is heaven's gain.

The body was brought to Norman White & Sons Chapel Friday morning where it lay in state until one o'clock in the afternoon at which time the concourse made its way to Carver Creek where funeral services were held from Upper Carver Creek Church at 2 p.m. in charge of her pastor, Rev. D.C. Granger of St. Louis, and interment was in the cemetery nearby.

The Register tenders sincere sympathy to the family of this good woman in their sad and irreparable loss.
