Memorial Services
Held For
Omie McCarthy
At the Friday meeting of the
Woman’s Society of Christian
Service of the Community Meth
odist Church a short memorial
service was held honoring one of
their most active members, Mrs.
Omie McCarthy, whose funeral
was held in Seattle on that day.
After standing for a minute with
heads bowed in silent prayer a
tribute was read by Mrs. Nerland,
secretary of the WSCS. In con
clusion “a prayer for the new
year” by Francis of Assisi was
read. This prayer is found on the
Methodist Woman (magazine) for
January 1961.
Following is the text of the
tribute to Mrs. McCarthy, “WSCS
member and friend.”
“She lived in the “House by
the Side of the Road” and was
truly a friend to man. Her doors
were opened wide to stranger and
friend alike. She actively sought
out those who came to live or
visit in our community, or who
returned from trips outside, bear
ing in her hand a loaf of bread
fresh from the oven, or an of
fering from the garden, or per
haps some of the choicest berries
of the summer.”
“Many are the women of our
town who have been the honored
guests at lunch or an afternoon
coffee in her home. She made one
feel it was a rare privilege to be
your hostess. I’ve often heard her
say, ‘Oh, I like women. They’re
so interesting’.
“The children in her school
rooms were taught diligently to be
better citizens. Perhaps they re
ceived a needed reprimand, but
before they left the school room
they shared an apple or other
‘goody’ with their teacher and
departed hearing a cheery ‘good
by’ and ‘see you in the morning’
from her.
“No matter how short of work
ers the church Sunday School
might be during the summer,
the erwas always Sunday School
as usual in her Primary Depart
ment. The little ones in her
nursery class learned that God
was good in providing many
things for His people. They car
ried home in tiny hands the pro
ducts of His love; namely fresh
white turnips or little rolls of
bread — that is, if they weren’t

Basketball fans were treated
to one of the finest games seen
this year on the maple of Nome
High when in the preliminary
game the Polar Hornets led by
Tony Willoya managed to squeeze
by ANB.
The lead changed many times
with the score being tied no less
than ten times. It was Willoya’s
tremendous bounce on the boards
and his clutch scoring that proved
to be too much.
In the night cap the Jaycees led
all the way and defeated the
“hustling” Nanooks in a game
marked by rough play on the part
of both teams.
The Nanooks were topped in the
scoring column by Herman and
Locke with 9 each. The Jaycees
were topped by Hahn with 10.
nibbled up during church.
“Young mothers have evidence
of her love and thoughtfulness in
the hand sewed baby quilts she
fashioned from scraps of outing
flannel or other cloth.
“Her interest in her Bible and
devotional books was often dis
cussed. Her faith in prayer was
deep. She read the better books
critically picking out what was
good as gems to remember. Cross
word puzzles challenged her
thinking.
“This only touches the surface
of what Omie meant to us. Each
has her own tribute silently grow
ing within, but to each — I’m
sure — she leaves the challenge
to go out and do likewise; to for
get our own limitations whatever
they are and seek to live the
Christian life more fully.
“As Proverbs 31 states in verse
10, ‘Who can find a virtuous
woman? For her price is far above
rubies.’ And in verse 39b and 31
‘—a woman that feareth the Lord,
she shall be praised. Give her
of the fruit of her hands; and let
her own works praise her in the
gates’.”
