BRAZIL MEMORIAL BUILDING HONORS MRS. P. E. BUYERS
A memorial building to the late Allie Cobb Buyers, educational missionary to Brazil for 22 years, is under construction at People’s Central institute, Rio de Janeiro. Mrs. Buyers, born in Columbia in 1901, died her on April 26, 1951. Her husband, the Rev. Paul E. Buyers, returned to Brazil a few months later to help supervise construction of the building. Mrs. Buyers was a graduate of Winthrop College. People’s Central Institute, a Methodist missionary enterprise, is a social-educational-evangelistic center at the food of “Shantytown Hill” in a neglected part of Rio. It is near the docks, just a five minutes walk from a mill where 5,000 persons are employed. It offers a grade school, night classes in adult education, boys’ and girls’ clubs, classes for the deaf and dumb, sports activities, and in cooperation with the Federal health department, free dental and medical clinics. The new Buyers building will provide classrooms for 600 students. Alumni and other Brazilian citizens have contributed $50,000 toward the memorial, and Methodists of the North Texas conference are contributing funds through the program of Advance for Christ and His Church.

Dropped Dead. Mr. Emanuel Daniels Expires in His Son’s Arms – a Sad Death.
Yesterday about 2 o’clock Mr. Emanuel Daniels, a well known Richland farmer, about 41 years of age, who manages the old Hampton Millpond place about four miles from the city, died very suddenly. He had been out on the farm during the morning, and while out on the place began to feel very badly. He started for the house, and managed to cross the threshold. Then he staggered to his son, fell in his arms and expired in a few moments. The cause of his untimely death is unknown, but it is supposed to have been heart disease. Mr. Daniels leaves a wife and nine children, all of the latter being girls save two, with nothing to live upon save the crop in the ground on the farm. His remains will be held for a day or two awaiting the arrival of his brother from the up country. [Note: He actually left ten children and was buried in the Kelly Cemetery.]
