"MARION BISHOP With the death of Marion Bishop of the Rinker neighborhood, there passed from earthly vision an influence for righteousness: an influence, felt all of his long life, that will continue for generations to come. The usefulness of such a man is not ended with the grave. Marion Bishop was devoted to his community, holding it second only to his devotion to his family. In later years, when he and the late Mrs. Bishop had reached the time wherein they might have been expected to rest from their labors, they maintained the interest of their community which always had filled their lives. They helped to build up and carry on the Sunday school, always they upheld the needs of the public school; whenever they were preaching services at the schoolhouse, the Bishops were there, doing their part, and more. Community interests were their interests. The past few years have been years of helplessness for Marion Bishop but, cared for by his daughter and cheered by her and other members of the family and his friends, he did not 'murmur nor repine.' He had hoped to live until his 88th birthday, and that wish was granted. He had seen his children and grandchildren grow into useful lives, helpful and respected; he held their love and esteem, and that of his hundreds of friends, and he was content. --- L. M. F.
