He died May 13, 1924, at the age of 67 years, 8 months, 27 days. He was the son of Joseph A. and Eliza Mains, being the fourth child of a family of eight children. He grew to manhood in Kentucky and in the fall of 1881 came to Scotland County, Missouri, where he worked by the month near Brock until January 1, 1888, when he was united in marriage to Effie J. Eggleston. To this union was born tone child, Gladys, who, with her mother, survives him. Mr. Mains had been in poor health for several months and his faithful wife and daughter had done everything that was possible for human hands to do. It was thought that he was better, but the end came suddenly and was a great shock to his family and the community. He was preceded in death by his father, mother and one brother, William C. and is survived by two brothers and four sisters: Alvin D. Mains, Edward L. Mains, and Mrs. Louise Shaffer of near Cincinnati, Ohio; Mrs. Laura B. Hitch of Covington, Kentucky; Mrs. Ella Apel of Chicago, Illinois; and Mrs. May Donaldson of Memphis, Missouri. In 1904 he purchased the farm on which he resided at the time of his death. His life has been an open book, its pages filled with kindliness and sympathy. He was never happier than when associating with the young people and children of the community. Industry, frugality, steadfastness of purpose, and loyalty to truth and justice were his outstanding characteristics. He, together with his faithful wife, have accumulated property and a beautiful home for those precious to him; but better and more cherished by them will ever be the memory of his well-lived life, and many unselfish acts strewn all along the pathway of his life. The community all feel they have lost a friend and grieve in sympathy with the bereaved family, whose hearts can only be comforted by the outstretched arm of his God and ours. Funeral services were held in the Brock Church, Thursday, May 15th, 10:30 a.m. and were conducted by Rev. James Shultz of Granger, assisted by R. W. Custer. Interment was in the cemetery nearby. A large concourse of sorrowing relatives and friends were in attendance, which testified of the high esteem in which he was held. Card of Thanks We wish to thank our many friends and neighbors for their kindness during the illness and death of our beloved husband and father. We also want to thank them for the beautiful floral offerings. Mrs. Effie Mains Gladys E.
