DIED On Tuesday, Aug. 4, 1891, Mary A. Moore, daughter of David Y. and Lucy A. Moore, aged 24 years.

Mary A. Moore was born in Harrison Ont. C. W., Sept. 20, 1867. At the age of seven years she came to reside with her Uncle and Aunt Robert and Ruth Rogers, at West Branch, Iowa.

She experienced a change of heart at the age of seventeen, but did not unite with the Church. Last fall she decided to unite with the M.E. Church, but circumstances prevented, and during her sickness requested to have her name put on the Church roll as a probationer. Last fall she left for a visit with her brother, John Moore, at Duluth, Minn. She contracted a heavy cold which developed into consumption. She returned to the home of her Aunt, Mrs. Rogers, where after an illness of ten months she quietly passed away. The funeral services were held on Thursday, conducted by Rev. W. S. Craft, assisted by the pastors of the town.
