Obit For Stona Walter Farwell
Headline Obituary
Text Stona Farwell, a son of O. W. Farwell, died at his home on White River near Eagle Rock, March 9, 1917, of pneumonia fever.

Stona was just starting out in life being 28 years of age. He leaves a wife and little son, a mother, four brothers and three sisters, whose hearts are filled with sorrow. His father having preceded him only one short month ago leaving Stona as one of his administrators.

Stona was a kind son and husband thinking and planning for his loved ones until the last giving them very assurance he was going to a better home and planning for their welfare after he was gone.

The bereaved ones have our deepest sympathy as this is the third sorrow of this nature they have have been called upon to endure in one months time having to part with the father first. Only two weeks ago they had to part with a little niece and granddaughter, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Malley Easley and now the older son and brother.

O. W. Farwell was born in Illinois, his parents coming to this county when he was a small child and spent most of his life in this vicinity, his life being an open book to all who knew him, always being very conscientious not only believing in being a Christian but living one before his family and trying to teach them higher morals.

He had pneumonia fever 8 years ago never fully recovering but was spared to his family when they needed him so bad, this last few years only waiting for the summons. Although their home is broken up here it is being made firmer in the great beyond.

His mother was formerly Eveline Hilton, daughter of John Hilton. Besides his wife (Mattie Pyatt) and children he is survived by one brother, Wilder Farwell of Cassville and two sisters, Mrs. Drake of Monett and Mrs. Monday of Joplin.
