Mrs. Allie Cobb Buyers
Brazil Memorial Building Honors Mrs. P. E. Buyers
A memorial building to the late Allie Cobb Buyers, educational missionary to Brazil for 23 years, is under construction at People's Central institute, Rio de Janeiro.
Mrs. Buyers, born in Columbia in 1901, died April 26, 1951. Her husband, the Rev. Paul E. Buyers, returned to Brazil a few months later to help supervise construction of the building.
People's Central Institute, a Methodist missionary enterprise, is a social-educational-evangelistic center at the foot of "Shantytown Hill" in a neglected part of Rio. It is near the docks, just a five minute 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.
