She was a devoted wife and mother and during her sickness was a patient sufferer. She had a smile for all who visited her, and welcomed death without fear and made all of her own funeral plans.

Mr. Moore passed away in 1926 and those who remain are three daughters: Emma in the home, Mrs. Olive Morris, of Mullen, Nebraska, and Mrs. Pearl Hartman, of Creston, and one son, Homer, of Stockton, California.
