She was born near Van Meter on Dec. 4, 1856. For the past few years she had made her home with her sister, Mrs. Etta Fisher, of Winterset.
In addition to her sister, Mrs. Fisher, she is survived by a brother, Abe Moore, of Dallas county.
Funeral services were held Sunday from the Anderson Funeral home here, in charge of the Rev. W. A. Samp, pastor of the Winterset Methodist church. Burial was made in the Van Meter cemetery.
