The funeral services for Miss Nancy May Lamar were conducted last Sunday at 2 p.m. at the Methodist church. Miss Lamar was born May 10, 1878, near Edgar Springs, Mo., being the daughter of Charles T. and Nancy J. Lamar. She died in Houston on the night of November 20, 1924, at the age of 46 years, 6 months and 10 days.
Most of Miss Nannie Lamar's life was spent in Houston, as she moved here in her childhood. She attended the Houston public schools and while yet in her 'teens she joined the Methodist Church, South, and has continued a faithful member through the years. She was an exceedingly active member of the church, giving much of her time to it for years. She was for many years the collector for the church and for a long time an active worker in the Epworth League. She was a member of Mary S. Chapter Eastern Star in Houston.
The funeral services were conducted by Rev. Dawson C. Bryan. The choir sang "Nearer My God to Thee". After the prayer and Scripture, Mrs. J.W. Phemister sang. Rev. Bryan gave a resume of Miss Lamar's life _____________ (unreadable) appropriately to the occasion. The choir sang "What a Friend We Have in Jesus". The services at the grave were conducted by the Eastern Star, including the beautiful and impressive burial ceremony.
There are left to mourn their loss, a sister, Mrs. Mattie Lemons, of Birch Tree; a brother, Mr. Kirby Lamar, and a sister-in-law, Mrs. Jennie Lamar, of Houston; a niece, Mrs. Ruth Harmon, of Rifle, Colo.; two nephews, Mr. Fred Lamar, of Chicago, and Mr. Lynn Lamar, of St. Louis, and a host of other relatives and friends.
Nannie Lamar, though crippled in body, has done her part in this life's work. She has ministered unto others in the hours of sorrow, sickness and distress; she has been faithful to her church and christian duties; she was ever thoughtful and kind to the poor and needy. The old loved Nannie for her gentle kindness; the young loved her because she loved them. So Nannie Lamar will be missed in the home, in church, in lodge and in the circle of friends who admired and respected her, and to the sorrowing brother and sister and other relatives an earnest sympathy is extended.

HOUSTON HERALD, JAN 1, 1925
The sudden death of Miss Nannie Lamar is a serious loss to the Lamar family, especially to Mr. Kirby Lamar, who is thrice deprived of dear ones of late and we extend sympathy to him in his great loss. Mr. Lamar deserves a few words of praise now. His loyalty to the people of Texas county has been realized for years; his faithfulness to the town of Houston, his perseverance for the progress of Houston schools has been noticed for years. His gentlemanly manners and his kind treatment of many people are not to be forgotten.
