Elizabeth Jane Hardesty was born near Covington, Indiana, April 3rd, 1852 and died May 19, 1919, aged 67 years, 1 mo and 16 days.

When quite young she removed with the family to Illinois, where in Feb. 1870 she was married to W. T. Moore. Seven children blessed this union.

Those who remain to mourn her loss are the husband and three children i. e. Leonard P. of Dexter, Geo. Of Great Falls, Montana and Mrs. H. D. Repass of Fairfield, Iowa, and three grandchildren and one sister, Mrs. Susan Galbreath of Emerson, Iowa.

The family came to Iowa in Dec. 1891 and settled on a farm south of Dexter. In the spring of 1905 they moved to Dexter and in Aug. 1917 to Earlham.

When a girl she was converted and united with the Christian Church—later she connected herself with the Methodist Episcopal church and remained in that Communion until her death.

Mrs. Moore was an earnest and devoted Christian—always optimistic and cheerful, sympathetic and kind. Her friends were numbered by all who knew her. The bereaved family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.

Funeral services were held Thursday afternoon, May 22 at the Methodist church in Earlham in charge of Rev. A. P. Keast and E. Ilrenfritz. The floral offerings were many and beautiful.

Rest is missing.
