child Of Mr.. and Mrs. Jno M. Moseley-was
born and raised in this section. Early In
life she Joined the Methodist Church. and to
the day of her death was a consistent and
devoted member, living up TO all Of It's re-

Kind and genial disposition made friends
with all whom she met. Her daily lie was
OF such a nature as to impress her friends
with the fact that with her, the chris
tian warfare, begun in early life, would
be fought to the end. BY precept and ex-
ample, she ever gave evidence OF the rul.

gently abiding and admonishing those In
whom she felt special interest, she was
doubt instrumental IN checking departures
from the requirements of higher life.
Whatever her influence she willingly and
without arrogance or pride exerted 1t for

act. This being realized by all who knew
her, her worth was acknowledged and bore its

We hope to be reunited to her, arouEd the
throne OF the Eternal when time with us shall
be no more. Troupe
