Obitituary from 8/3/1922 Plymouth Republican:
Edna May Farrar

Edna May Farrar, daughter of Charles and Mattie Yates, was born in Argos, Indiana, Dec. 29, 1892 and was united in marriage to Virgil Farrar Dec. 6, 1911.

To this union were born four children: Evelyn Jane, Harold, Arnold and Robert.

In this untimely departure these children are bereft of a true mother’s devotion and love and the husband of a companionship that will bring the world beyond very near to him.

Mrs. Farrar was taken to the Plymouth hospital, July 16, 1922. It was found that there was no hope of her recovery, and she was later moved to the home of her parents west of Argos, where she departed this life Aug. 2, 1922, aged 29 years, 7 months and 3 days.

Those who remain to bear this loss are her husband and children, her father and mother, three brothers, Charles, Jr., Walter and Harry, one sister, Mrs. Dean Hooker and many relatives and friends.

The funeral service was conducted from the home Saturday, August 5th at 2 o’clock by rev. A.L. Vermillion. Interment at Maple Grove cemetery.

“Sleep on, my love, in thy cold bed,

Never to be disquieted.

My last “good-night!” Thou will not wake

Till I thy fain shall overtake;
Till age, or grief or sickness must

Marry my body to that dust
it so much loves, and fill the room

My heart keeps empty in thy tomb.

Stay for me there; I will not fail

To meet thee in that hollow vale;

And think not much of my delay,

I am already on the way;

And follow thee with all the speed

Desire can make or sorrows breed.

Each minute is a short degree,

And every hour a step toward thee.”
