That person was Mrs. Mabel Bolin of R1, Leon, the last of the old-timers whose home remains in the old Economy district. Mabel Bolin had been active up until the past year, when failing health gradually lessened her working time. She was dark of eye, and silvery hair that framed an intellectual face and her regal bearing made her a grand lady of the old school. As she failed to get around well enough last fall to do her own housework, she went to reside with her son and wife, and remained there until a week or two ago when she became so frail that outside help was needed. Mabel Brent Bolin, daughter of George Lawson and Mary J. Clugsten Brent, was born on March 27, 1878 near Colchester, Illinois, and departed from this life, May 29, 1965, at the age of 87 years, 2 month and 2 days. She received her education in Illinois and came to Kansas by train with her parents and family members and two other families from Illinois. They arrived in Leon February 7, 1898. The Brents settled on a farm north of Keighley. She taught school for several years and worked as a secretary in various towns of Western Kansas. She also served as a member of the Economy school board for a number of years. She also found great pleasure in the Farm Bureau work, and was always active in Sunday school and church work both at Harmony and Economy. She was united in marriage with Marion Armstrong Bolin December 30, 1908. He died on May 4, 1952. To this union was born one son, Brent. After Mr. Bolin's death, Mrs. Bolin continued to live on their farm alone, keeping busy and taking an active part in community affairs. She did her own housework and cooking; she wrote a newsy country correspondence for the Leon News from 1941-1964, until her health forced her to retire a year ago. Left to mourn her departure are her son, Brent, and wife, Ivalee, of Leon, a grand daughter, Mrs. Brenda Dickinson, of Leon; one sister, Mrs. Bertha Fillmore, El Dorado; two brothers, Charles, El Dorado and Robert, Wichita.

Brent, Wichita, Gene Brent, Valley Center, and Mrs. Juanita Brenton, of Kansas City.

Thomas Schneider of the Leon Methodist church. Burial was made in the Leon cemetery. Mrs. Noble Fritsche, of El Dorado was soloist, and was accompanied by her mother, Mrs. C. M. Nutter, at the organ.

A Tribute to Mother When cares of life beset us, There's one pal who stands True, To comfort us, advise us, And Mother, that is you. When feeling rather lonely, When we are far away, A letter to our Mothers Makes hers a happier day. When fortune smiles upon us, To Mother first we go, And she will understand us, Because she loves us so. Today, to all the Mothers, O'er this broad land of ours, We pay our loving tributes In verse, or song, or flowers. And to our Heavenly Father, Let's praises sing today, For blessing us with mothers, To guide us 'long life's way. Estel Marie Patterson (printed by request.
