Margaret Louise Shaw Farmer, 90, passed away on Saturday, January 22, at St. Joseph Regional Hospital in Bryan. Margaret was born 14 September 1931 in Brownfield, Texas. Her parents, Roland

and Cora Parker Shaw, were living there on land Roland had homesteaded in 1916. Shortly after Margaret's birth, Roland received word that his

father, James Clinton Shaw, was in declining

health and needed help with the family farm.

So as an infant Margaret moved to Elkhart

with her three brothers (Lynn, J.C., and

Homer) and her sister (Dorothy) to begin life

in the Piney Woods. All five children graduated

from Elkhart High School. Through the assistance

of her aunt, Gladys Shaw Bishop,

Margaret enrolled in the Lilly Jolly School of

Nursing in Houston, earning her R.N. She

married James Ray Farmer on Christmas

Day, 1951. When James Ray passed in 1972,

Margaret moved to College Station. She

served as a nurse at South Knoll Elementary

School, and at the Brazos County Health Department.
