November 3, 1905Moon, Mrs. T. J. (Emma)
Word was received Wednesday of the death at Yankton SD of Mrs. T. J. Moon of Glenwood, who with her husband was visiting their son George and family.
Her death was very sudden, caused by asthma and a weak heart, with which she had been troubled for some years.
Her daughter, Mrs. Charles, living north of Tabor, received a telegram Wednesday morning urging her to come at once if she desired to see her mother alive. A later telegram announced her death.
The deceased was well known in this vicinity having lived in and near Tabor for many years.
The remains will be brought to Glenwood for interment. The funeral will probably be held Friday.

Novembr 10, 1905Emma Lucy Bosworth was born in Ashtabula OH, 16 Oct 1842 and died in Yankton SD, 1 Nov 1905.
Nearly all her life was spent in IA as she moved here with her parents when three years old. She was married 8 Nov 1860 to Thomas J. Moon. For 45 years, lacking one week, they shared each others joys and sorrows. The family came to Tabor in the fall of 1864, at which place she united with the church in 1865.
For almost 30 years she has been a great sufferer from asthma with other complications.
She was the mother of nine children, eight of whom survive her, all grown to manhood and womanhood; also 16 grandchildren.
Mr. Moon and his wife went to Yankton 25 Aug to visit their son George and family.
Her health was very poor most of the time but was not so as to cause any alarm until Sunday 29 Oct, when she was taken with pneumonia which terminated fatally at 25 minutes of 9 AM 1 Nov.
The remains were accompanied to Glenwood by her husband and son George. Not many of the children could be present for the funeral as they are so widely scattered. Miss Pearl is in Philadelphia PA; Miss Lydia in Wiggins MS; Mr. Ura G. in Duncannon PA; Mrs. Myrtle Phillips and Mrs. Elinor Weatherhead in Needles CA; Mr. George W. Moon in Yankton SD; Mrs. Lora Record in Glenwood and Mrs. Mary Moon in Tabor.
Note: Mr. and Mrs. Moon were married in Madison County, Iowa and their first three children were born there.
