Roy Longmire Passed Away In Dallas Sunday

Roy Longmire, who was reared in the Farmers Branch community, died Sunday 8:45 p.m. at a hospital in Dallas, after lingering at death's door for six days. He was 37 years old.
During the world war he was a member of the American expeditionary force and served in the Thirty-Sixth and Eighteeth Divisions. He was over seas from July 9, 1918, to June 6, 1919.  He made a profession of religion at the age of fourteen during a Methodist meeting in Farmers Branch and joined the Methodist church. He was an ardent lower of home. He will be missed in the home circles, being a favorite among his brothers brothers and sisters.
The funeral services were conducted at his home 4221 Bower Street, Dallas, by Dr. Geo W. Truitt, whose ministery touched Mr. Loungmire's life while overseas and whose services he frequently attended in Dallas.  Dr. Truitt's funeral message was full of words of wisdom and consolation.  He said "in an hour like this there are tow things we can do. We can let God speak to us through his book and we can speak back to him in prayer."  He reminded the hearers that it was a splendid act of patriotism for one to give their lives in service for the sake of their country and humanity. But the nobler act of his, that towers above that of patriotism, even, is that of giving his life to Jesus Christ, the giver of life eternal, that one trusting to whom to trust makes sure that long to-morrow. That trusting Him is the source of salvation and even though a life be halting and limping as all of our lives are, it is Christ's righteousness that saves and not ours.
The body was buried in the Marsh Cemetery, near Farmers Branch. Surviving are his wife and five brothers, Troy Longmire of Dallas, C. B. Longmire of Decatur, Earl L. Longmire, of Carrollton, and Ray E. Longmire of Tulsa, Okla., and two sisters, Mrs. E. W. Broadhurst of Carrollton, and Mrs. J. G. Arnett of Dallas.
