Addie Acre, daughter of George Washington and Harriet Winchell Acre, was born August 12, 1870, on a farm about five miles west of Unionville, Mo. After a long illness, she departed this life at the Monroe Hospital in Unionville, Mo., August 13, 1949, at the age of 79 years and one day. She spent her entire life in the community, living 73 years on the farm where she was born. After the death of her sister, Alice, in 1943, she moved to Unionville, where she has since resided. She is survived by one sister, Mrs. Annie Mowrer, of Burlington, Wash.; one brother, Dayton, of Newtown, Mo.; 22 nieces and nephews and other relatives.
In 1921, after the death of her sister Daisy Mowrer, Addie, her sister Alice and their aged father took Harriet and John Mowrer into their home and tenderly cared for them until they were through the grade school. The children spent much time with them after that. Both foster children, with other relatives, were able to assist her in various ways during her illness of more than four years.
In 1886, she confessed her faith in Christ, uniting with the Christian congregation at the Union church. She continued steadfastly in the faith. For many years she contributed to the support of the Johnson Bible School and also many missionary efforts. She read the Bible daily during her illness, as long as she had the strength to hold the Bible in her hands. She also read church papers, keeping well informed on church affairs. She was a charter member of the local chapter of the Ladies Circle and the G.A.R.
"Favor is deceitful, health is vain, but a woman that fearest the Lord shall be praised."
"Her foster children rise up and call her blessed."
"Bleased are the dead who die in the Lord. Yea, sayeth the spirit from henceforth they may rest from their labors, their works do follow them."
The following poems were found by Harriet among her favorite poems:
I will not worry, I will trust,
God knows I am a child of dust.
He knows I long to do his will,
The darkness crowds around me still.
I will not worry I will hope
Perhaps upon some sunny slope
The flowers are waiting for me there
While here the hills are bleak and bare.
I will not worry, I will pray
I know God cares for me today.
and trusting ever in his love,
I tread the path that leads above.
Under the auspices of the Comstock Funeral Home, services were held Sunday, August 14 at 4 p.m. at the Christian church in Unionville, conducted by Claud Mowrer. Three songs were sung, " Does Jesus Care?" "I Need Thee Every Hour," and "Sweet Hour of Prayer." They were sung by a quartet comprised of Mrs. C. E. Van Dyne, Mrs. Ora Cook, Mr. Lee Jones and Mr. Franklin Childs. The pall bearers were James Acre, Robert Bohannon, Harold Green, George Mowrer, Newell Mowrer and John Mowrer, all nephews of the deceased. Graveside services were conducted by the Ladies Circle with interment in Wincell cemetery.
