New Magnabells To Ring Saturday
In Memory of Miss Estelle Marlin
The Bells of Miss Marlin will
ring out over the City of Kodiak
for the first time, Sunday, Dec. 16,
it was announced this week by
Rev. Lewis White, pastor of the
Community Baptist Church.
The bells, a set of Schulmerick
Magnabells, were purchased to
commemorate the memory of Miss
Estelle Marlin, beloved worker in
the church, who was instantly
killed in an automobile accident
last July while she was on fur
lough. Saturday would have been
Miss Marlin’s birthday.
An Estelle Marlin Memorial Gift
and Fund was established by the
Community Baptist Church. Con
tributions are still coming in to
this fund. The Magnabells were
purchased through the fund.
Miss Marlin had worked among
people here in Kodiak for the past
20 years, when she first came as
housemother at Ayre Cottage at
the Kodiak Baptist Mission. In
later years she became affilitated
with the Community Baptist
Church, as educational director.
“Many people came to know her
in many pleasant ways. Her warm
personality and keen sense of
humor and understanding helped
many individuals through difficult
times,” Rev. White stated. “Many
of the people that she helped were
the native children that for some
reason or another were left home
less—filling in for both father and
mother became her privilege and
responsibility.
“Miss Marlin was known as
“Mom” to many of the servicemen.
She spent many hours in the
Hospitality house of the Commun
ity Baptist Church—baking, visit
ing, playing the piano for group
singing or playing a game of check
el's, or just listening to the boys
talk—helping them spend many
leisure hours.”
Miss Marlin also assisted young
brides of servicemen, especially in
the earlier days when there was a
shortage of adequate housing.
To many youngsters of the com
munity, Rev. White said, Miss
Marlin was the lady who told
stories after school. She is re
membered as Sunday School teacn

er, or camp director, or as the
director of the Youth Choir. Others
■wil remember her as organist and
piano player. Music seemed to a
bound where she was. For that
reason it was decided by the com
mittee seeking to estabish a fitt
ing memorial for her, that the
chimes would be appropriate.
On Sunday, Dec. 17, the choir
of the Coir’ unity Baptist Church
will present a special musical pro
gram. A dedication service for the
bells will be held during this
service.
It is the plan of the committee
to have the bells ring each morn
ing at 8; at 12:30 noon; and each
evening at 6 o’clock.
Contributions for the memorial
will be gratefully received, accord
ing to Rev. White. They may be
