Big Pine Citizen, Volume 12, Number 15, 11 April 1925 — FRANK ELMER TWIST
Big Pine sustained a distinct loss Tuesday morning when Frank Elmer Twist was called by The Great Master. Until a few days before his death, he was apparently a well, strong man going about the performance of his duties for the Southern Pacific Company, when he was confined to his homo with a severe cold. He was better in a few days and attempted to return to his duties at the depot when he suffered a relapse. Complications that developed a form similar to an acute case of the flu developed and it baffled all medical skill. He steadily grew worse until the end came Tuesday morning. Elmer Twist was the type of man of which the world has only too few. He was courageous, honorable progressive, and a faithful, loving father to his family. What more could be asked of any man. In all walks of life, he was active. The Southern Pacific Company with which he was connected for years, numbered him among their most trusted and valued employees. Not only did he have the local office to look after, but was frequently called to Reno where he acted as an adjuster for the company. As a citizen of Big Pine, his wise and conservative counsel was sought in all civic matters. He was a trustee in the local school, a sincere and active church worker, and a live booster in the Chamber of Commerce. That Elmer Twist was held in high esteem by his co-workers, was evinced by the gorgeous floral pieces sent by the Brotherhood of Railway Trainmen and the Order of Railway Telegraphers. The trainmen sent a wreath and stand with ribbon attached bearing the name of the order in gold letters. The telegraphers sent a large bouquet of carnation. In fact, the entire floral offering was one of the largest and most beautiful ever seen in Big Pine. The funeral at the church Wednesday afternoon was conducted by Rev. W. G. Lopeman, after which the remains were taken in charge by Waucoba Lodge of Masons, who conducted the services at the cemetery. Deceased was a native of Albany, Missouri, age 50 years and had been a resident of Big Pine for 8 years. Besides brothers and sisters of whom we are unable to obtain the names, he is mourned by his wife Naomi, and two sons, Benjamin and Donald. The Citizen joins with the legion! of friends of the family in extending sympathy to the bereaved ones I in their dark hour.
