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.

Mary married Robert Lee Lewis, Jr. on 22 Dec 1897 in Ironton, Iron County, Missouri, USA. Robert (son of Robert Lee Lewis and Mary "Polly" Griffith) was born on 02 Feb 1873 in Sabula, Iron County, Missouri, United States; died on 05 Feb 1906 in Annapolis, Iron County, Missouri, USA; was buried in Emily's Chapel Cemetery, Iron County, Missouri, USA.

!LETTER

Dad pastored the Ironton Church of the Nazarene for five years. While he was there he built the church they have now. He held revivals and preached in many churches like, Redford, Des Ark, Annapolis, and a lot that I can't think of.

I have a very strong feeling that he preached the funeral of James Lewis. I remember his mentioning the names tell, Eli and Tony Lewis many ties, the rest of then I don't remember.

He had a brother named Ellis Lewis, who was also a minister. Ellis filled in at the Fredrick Town Church after he retired. Ellis and my dad were Ordained on the same day in Poplar Bluff Missouri in 1940.
