| [140] Farquhar, Marian, 89, passed
away Nov. 10, 2006, at the United Presbyterian Home, Washington. Marian
was born July 29, 1917, at the home of her parents, George and Jennie
Wylie Farquhar, near College Springs, in Page County. She was a lifelong
member of the United Presbyterian Church, College Springs.
After she received her B.A. in 1941, Marian taught high school English in Elliott and Atlantic, for three years. The summer of 1940, she worked at a Fresh Air camp in the Chicago, Ill., area. By 1943, Marian was determined to pursue her childhood dream of becoming a missionary. As a child, she had heard missionaries speak at her church about their work. In addition, two of her sister's college friends recounted stories of her parents, who were missionaries in the Sudan. Marian was accepted for a tour of duty in Africa and trained at the Kennedy School of Missions in Hartford, Conn., and the Biblical Seminary in New York, N.Y. She sailed for Sudan on Aug. 28, 1945. Marian worked in Nasir, a settlement in southern Sudan close to the Ethiopian border. Her goal was to persuade the Nuers to allow their daughters to be educated. She taught the girls in a three-room, thatch-roofed school. While teaching, she developed a series of primers for educating Nuers to read and write. Nearly every literate Nuer learned from the books that she created. Marian remained in Sudan until 1964, when the Sudanese government expelled all missionaries. She proceeded to teach English as a second language in Hong Kong for 18 months and then taught English for 10 years in Dembi Dollo, Ethiopia. Marian was forced out of Ethiopia by Marxists in 1977 and returned home for two years before she was able to travel back to Sudan. From 1979 to 1982, she worked with the Wycliffe Bible Translators to create an eight-book series of primers for Nuer children in first to third grades. In 1983, she retired to her family farm near College Springs. She returned to Sudan from 1986-1987 to contribute to a Presbyterian hymnbook for Nuers and from 1988-1989 to assist the Wycliffe Bible Translators with a further project. In 1993, she moved to the United Presbyterian Home, Washington. In 1994, she went to Nairobi, Kenya, to work three months with Nuer evangelists and to help Wycliffe with translation of a Nuer Old Testament. While in her eighties, she helped Nuer immigrants in Iowa, Omaha, Neb., and other places, adjust to their lives and use the primers she created to teach them to read and write. She cared deeply about the people she worked with and claimed many as sons and daughters. She was preceded in death by her parents, George and Jennie Farquhar, sisters Elizabeth and Fern (infant) and brother J. Richard (Dick). She is survived by sisters Virginia Burch and husband John, Villa Park, Chicago, Ill., Esther Runyan and husband Ivan, Clarinda; sister-in-law Grace Farquhar, Loveland, Colo., and 18 nieces and nephews. Also, a host of extended family and friends. There was a memorial service in Washington on Nov. 19. In the spring, there will be a memorial service and burial in College Springs. |
