DEATH OF MRS. RALPH O'NEAL.

~~~~

   The community was deeply shocked Friday to hear of the sudden and untimely death of Mrs. Ralph O’Neal. Many of her friends did not know that she had been sick for she had been up and around in her usual good health just a day or so before her death.

    Effie Gertrude Moore, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Homer L. Moore, was born July 17, 1896, at Hamburg, Ia., and passed away September 25, 1931, at the age of 35 years, 2 months and 8 days. The greater part of her life has been spent in, or near Hamburg. She was married to Ralph O’Neal on December 11, 1918. She united with the Baptist church of Hamburg in the spring of 1919. She leaves to mourn her departure, her devoted husband, two children, Mary Kathryn and Richard Elliot, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Moore, and three brothers, Victor, Fred and Harry Moore, besides a host of other relatives and friends. Mrs. O’Neal was truly a good Christian mother and companion, loving her home and her family. Her time was always their own. She will be sadly missed by all those who knew her.

     Funeral services were held at the Mt. Olive church Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock, conducted by the Rev. Horace A. Larsen, and interment was made in the cemetery at that place.
