Hattiesburg daily progress. (Hattiesburg, Miss.) 18??-1909, 1902-10-22
Mrs. Ella Nora Moore.

At the home of her husband, Mr..
w. l.. Moore, of Hattiesburg, Miss,
on the evening of the 18th INST, In
the bright glow of the closing day,
while the heavens were flooded with
a golden, joyous sunlight, and all
the earth seemed happy In the glad
smile of it's creator, the noble soul of
Mrs. Ella Nora Moore passed from
It's earthly habitatiOn into the
eternal sunshine of that divine
presence whose love and radiance
Illuminated the rugged paths of life.
Through friendship and love she
nursed first a friend at home and
then sister at the home OF her
father, Mr.. J. J. Crane, at Forest,
both stricken with typhoid fever.
After her return home she became
prey to this dread disease and not
withstanding all was done that medi-
cal skill could do and love suggest,
she passed away to lay herself an
offering at the throne of God. 1t
was a sacrifice of heart made true
and holler by the kindly services she
had Just rendered and by the weeks
of sickness and sutfering-it was the
offering of a soul chastened by attiIc
ton calmly awaiting the coming of
Gods angels.
In the passing of this gifted and
noble young woman much that can
not be replaced has gone from the
life of q desolate husband and a
little daughter, a beautiful influence
has departed, but the song of her
life must remain pure and beautiful
in their memories and lives and in
L. In xryIl hn
sacred memories, redOlent of the
best that is possible to daily give out
from the human heart, the heart
destined to be immortal.
To render her death still more sad
she was Just in the full flower of
young womanhOod it is always dis
tresing to see the young die and es-
pecially those who promise SO much
TO their friends and families. She
was young, gifted, charming, liberal
ly educated, cultivated, accomplish
ed in music, fully equipped for life
and It's duties, for the delicate re-
lationship of wife and mother, and
the social functions that make home
a happiness and blessing. At Forest
where she was born ahr reared,
through her graces and mental
who but yesterday attested their de-
votion, by her grave, with flowers
and tears, the one redolent of the
flowers of the heart and the other to
moisten them as the dews from
heaven beautify the flowers of earth.
Considering this blow to her family
and friends, to those whose hearts
were beautifully interviewer with
her own and as friend of her father,
since the dramatic days of the
sexities, as a neighbor for the years
that she was growing into perfect
womanhOod, may be pardOned for
saying that there are times in our
lives when in the anguish of bereave-
ment over those who are stricken in
the flower of youth, when we may
cry out in the fullneSS of our hearts,
oh, that the key of deaths strong
hold were at our girdle as it was at
Christ, when at the grave of Lazarus,
that we might unbar the prison of
death and call to the dea" one to
come forth to life and the out
stretched arms of those who loved
and sOrrowi
The old soldiers of Barksdale's
brigade and especially of Co. B 18th
Mississippi Reg. who fought by the
side of heroic father when he fell at
Fredericksburg, where his blood
mingled with the waters of the Rap
pahannock; these men whose souls
are knit to this sOrrowiHg comrade
by ties closer and brighter than the
ties Of friendship will join with me
in tender sympathy and the hope
that the hero of other days may
bear with fortitude alrd heroIsm
sublime the greater trials than those
that come from war. The touching
tributes paid this young woman by
her former pastors, DIR. J. A. Hack
EFT and Rev. J H. Grundy, the
flowers that love laid upon her bier
the tears that sparkled on these
flowers all attest her virtues and
worth and the deep grief thai
touched the warm sympathetic
heart of the villagers where she wa:
born and reared and where she il
brought to rest till the judgment
morn. JNO. J. HOOP.
