Are you preparing to ask him for a loan? Friends in this community were shocked to learn of the death of a former resident, Mrs. Leslie Rimmer, and her daughter, Mary Patricia of Wil- lowdale in a traffic accident on Highway 11 near Huntsville last weekend. Her husband was seriously injured. Mrs. Rimmer, the former Mary Arnold, was the daughter of Mrs. GWen Arnold of Wil- lowdale and the late George Arnold who built the local Ar- nold Farms Supermarket where Knob Hill Farms is now situa- ted. Before her marriage to Les- Iie Rimmer about eight years ago, Mary was an active member of this community and leaves many friends. We offer sincere sympathy to her brother, George Jr., and his family of Arnleigh Heights, to her mother and brother, Tom in this sad loss.
