Death Claims Maude Moore

This community was shocked last Thursday afternoon to learn of the sudden death of Miss Maude Moore, at the home of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. W. G. Moore, of Silver City. She had been ill but two or three days with peritonitis and her death was a sudden blow to relatives and friends.

Maude Moore was born in Silver City, June 16, 1888, and died July 25, 1907, aged 19 years, one month and nine days. She had always made her home at this place. She united with the Methodist church last spring, and always lived a true christian life. Maude was a good girl, a loving and dutiful daughter and sister and a kind friend. She was ever ready and willing to help those around her.

She leaves to mourn her departure a father and mother, three brothers and one sister and hosts of friends.

The funeral services were held Saturday afternoon at the Methodist church and were conducted by Rev. W. W. Bollinger of Malvern, who took "Heaven" for his theme. The following young ladies were pall bearers: Mable Swarts, Barbara Agan, Beulah Christy, Della Hammonds, Dora Powers and May Alexander. The choir was composed of Barbara Agan, Hazel Moore, Ruth Reeve and Mable Swarts. The casket was literally banked with beautiful floral offerings from friends. The church was crowded with sorrowing friends and relatives who came to pay their last respects to a beautiful young life called to the Great Beyond.

Burial was made in the Silver City cemetery.

Those from a distance attending the funeral were Mr. and Mrs. Crow of Glenwood, Mrs. G. W. Brooks and son, George, of Balfour, Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Dunagan of Balfour, Tom Moore and Reno Moore and family of Plattsmouth and Miss Kathyrine Tunnison of Malvern.
