DEATH MRS. R. R. IRVINE

Passes Away At An Early Hour Friday Morning

Another Marshall home has been visited by the death angel and a loving wife, mother and grandmother has been called to the home beyond. Mrs. R. R. Irvine who has been an invalid for some time and for a week or more her condition has been so grave the end has been expected at any time passed away Friday morning, January 4, at 4:30 a. m. leaving the husband, daughters, son and grandchildren desolate and grief-stricken. While it has been known the end was near, and the family who have nursed the loved one gone, so untiringly tired to be read for the summons to the sick one, but we are never ready for those visitations of sorrow, but there is comfort in the thought that everything that medical skill or the loving watchfulness of husband and children could suggest has been done. There is also comfort in the sweet memories of the life just ended, so devoted as wife, mother, grandmother, relative and friend, Mrs. Irvine's life has been one of loving service, and there are treasures awaiting her in the beautiful home beyond. Mrs. Irvine was Miss Nancy Jane Shaw before her marriage to the surviving husband and she was the daughter of the late Fielding Lewis Shaw and Katherine Miller Shaw, who were early citizens in Saline. She was born October 26, 1850 in Andrew County and lived there until 20 years old, when the family after living in Illinois for a time during the war moved to Saline and their country home was the one now owned by Judge Henry Harvey. At this homestead Mrs. Irvine was married to R. R. Irvine March 17, 1870 and the couple lived on a farm three miles south f Fairville until moving to Marshall in 1912 to the Odell avenue residence which has been their home since. Mrs. Irvine and been a consecrated worker in the Fairville Baptist church before moving to Marshall, and has been an active adherent of the First Baptist Church here since. The children who survive are C. J. Irvine, Mrs. Warren Goddard, Mrs. Ed. Hawkins, all of the Fairville neighborhood, Mrs. Jack Hawkins of St. Louis, Mrs. George Parrish of Salt Lake City and Mrs. Keith Goodwin of Marshall. The daughters have, some of them been at the bedside of the mother constantly for several months, ever since the beginning of her long illness, some of them has been at the Irvine home shielding the loved one from household cares and worry, and their thoughtful devoted care was a solace and comfort to the mother and they will continue to help the father bear the great burden of grief that has come to him in the evening of his life. The funeral will take place from the family residence Saturday afternoon at 2 o'clock and will be conducted by Rev. Elmer A. Love, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Interment in the Irvine lot in Ridge Park.

Saline County Citizen, November 21, 1935¹¹¹⁴³

R. R. IRVINE DEAD

Prominent Farmer and Stockman of Fairville Community Was Buried Sunday

R. R. Irvine aged 87 years, died Saturday, November 16, at the home of his son, C. J. Irvine, on land adjoining the plot homesteaded by his parents. Mr. Irvine had been ill for two months.

The funeral services, held Sunday at the home, was attended by a large number of relatives and friends, for "Uncle Bob," as he was familiarly called, was known throughout the county.

Rev. M. G. Barlow, pastor of the Fairville Baptist church, read the scripture passages. The funeral talk was given by Rev. W. W. Robertson of Carrollton, Mo., a former pastor of the Fairville church, and close friend of the family.

Mrs. M. G. Barlow and Miss Maxine Barlow sang, "The City Four Square," and "Beautiful Garden of Prayer."

Burial was at Ridge Park Cemetery. The pallbearers were F. L. Dyer, John Irvine and Sam Irvine, nephews, Beverly Winslow and I. G. Dyer, great nephews and Clyde Perryman.

Robert Ruxton Irvine was born July 28, 1848. He was the son of James Huston Irvine and Mary Elizabeth Ann Clarke Irvine, who came from Rockingham County, Virginia, as a bride and groom, traveling horseback, with their supplies following in a covered wagon. Mr. Irvine's parents homesteaded the land right across the road from where he died.

At fourteen years of age, Mr. Irvine was the sole support of his mother, two sisters and two nieces. On March 17, 1870, he married Nancy Jane Shaw. They went to housekeeping in a log cabin on the old Irvine homestead. Eight children were born of this union, namely Charles J. Irvine, Mrs. J. W. Goddard, Mrs. Ed Hawkins, Ethel Dewitt Irvine, who died in infancy, Clara Irvine Vawter, deceased, Mrs. Keith Goodwin, Mrs. George Parrish, of Salt Lake City, Utah, Mrs. Jack Hawkins, of Logansport, Indiana. Mr. Irvine is also survived by eighteen grandchildren and twelve great-grandchildren.

Robert R. Irvine was one of the prominent farmers and stockmen of Saline County, Mo. He retired at the age of 65, and went to Marshall were he resided until after the death of his wife on January 4, 1924. In recent years he has made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Goddard, and his son Charlie Irvine, at whose home he passed away.

He was the last of the old settlers in the Fairville neighborhood and also the last of his family. He was a man of integrity and strength of character. His life was filled with acts of generosity and human kindness. He was always a friend to the sick and needy.

Mr. Irvine died just as he had lived. Up to the last, he attended to his business affairs. He didn't want to be waited upon, and showed in his last hours the same independence that had been a marked characteristic during his lifetime.

One of his most outstanding characteristics was a keen with, and a wonderful sense of humor. There was never a man lived who got more genuine joy out of life. Mr. Irvine's love of people, and tales of humor will be remembered and quoted for many a year to come.

Mrs. Jack Hawkins, Mr. Hawkins and their three daughters of Logansport, Ind., were here for the funeral service. Mrs. Parrish of Salt Lake City left November 10 to return to her home after a visit with her father. She did not return for the funeral.
