JANE G. MOFFITT.
The Wallace Study Club is grief
stricken over the loss of one of it's
most valued and valuable members,
Mrs. E. H. Moffitt, whose death oc-
Cured at Portland on the 10th inst.
From the inception of the club two
years ago, Mrs. Moffitt was one of its
most earnest and tireless workers,
foremost in all its plans and efforts.
She filled the office of president
during the most trying time Of the
clubs existence. When we were
without meeting place she offered
her BEAUTIFUL and hospitable home to
us; her splendid library was always
at our disposal, and always her
strength was for us, even when she
could so i'll afford to give it,
But not to her club alone is her
death blow-the loss is COM
munity one.
During the twenty years of her
life in Wallace, where she came as a
bride, she has always been foremost
in all religious charitable, educa-
tional and social work.
To the church she gave freely of
her time and money, and to the sick
and needy she was ministering
angel.
Having been teacher before her |
marriage, her heart was in every
work that would advance the interests
and efficiency of our schools, or tend
to the betterment of our boys and
girls.
To her friends she was a happy,
Joy giving comparison, always plan
ming for their pleasure and indispen-
sable to the success of any gather
ng.
Of the loss to her family, words
ire inadequate.
Two manly boys who were her
hearts pride are left, and devoted
husband with whom she was one in
'very thought and interest.
A dear old mother, brother and
our sisters are left to mourn, and
'ur hearts turn particularly to one
# these. Mrs. d. c. McKissick, one
II our club members, who has lived
lere for IA years, side by side with
drs. Moffitt, and between the two ,
here was a bond seldom seen be- :
ween sisters. ~@
The funeral services were held in :
'pokane and there, surrounded by !
owing kindred and friends, amidst a :
yondrous profession of beautiful ;
loral offerings, all that was mortal ,
I this dear woman was gently laid ;
rest in the family burial grounds !,
nd we are left to wonder why death !
hould have chosen this one, whose :,
fe was SO full Of possibilities for .
erself and every one around her. /,
