Things About Nyssa’s Shops
We did with many others this
past Sunday pause to pay our last
respects to an old friend. One who
in the years we have been in Nyssa
we did come to love well and whom
with so many others will miss him
in his accustomed place. We do
speak of Fred Marshall who tho he
had for many years passed his three
score and ten was still called "Fred"
by those who knew him.
And while illness had kept him
for a long time from any activity in
the marts still was he noted for his
generosity and charity to those in
need, and for his gentleness and
neighborliness to everyone.
And we did think that perhaps
no greater thing can one leave be
hind when release from this mortal
coil comes than love and goodfel-
lowship in the hearts of those who
remain behind.
This past week when the sun was
