Obituary:

    R. A. FARRENS FUNERAL
    HELD IN IONE FRIDAY
    Funeral services for the late Rufus A. Farrens were held at the Christian church in Ione on Friday afternoon at 2:00 o'clock, and the gathering of friends and neighbors was so large that all could not gain admittance to the building. Rev. W. W. Head, pastor of the Congregational church, preached the funeral sermon. Burial followed in the I.O.O.F. cemetery, the lodge of Ione officiating at the grave, where the beautiful service of the order was read.
    While Mr. Farrens made his home in Ione with his family, he also farmed extensively in the Gooseberry section and had followed this business for a great many years. It was while starting to make a visit to the farm on last Wednesday evening that he met his death in an auto accident just outside of Ione. He was one of the substantial citizens of that community and his sudden death came as a great shock to his family and friends.
    Besides his wife and three minor children, Mr. Farrens is survived by his aged father, J.F.M. Farrems of Lexington, four brothers, Willard of Ione, Ernest of Yakima, Wash., Glenn and Walter of Hardman, and two sisters, Mrs. Anna Clement of Tacoma, Wash., and Mrs. Laura Ward of Lexington.
