Mrs. Virginia Moler, widow of Captain
Lee Henry MoIer, died last Friday night
at the home Of her son, Edward T. Mo-
Ter, in Shepherdstown, after an illness OF
several weeks, aged 10 years. In her
death our community loses one ofits love-
lest characters, for Mrs. Moler was re-
garded by all as one of the best women
in this neighborhood. She was a daugh-
ter of the late Christian Reinhart, and all
her life was spent in this vicinity. Her
first husband was Captain John Knott.
who was killed in battle in the Civil War.
Afterward she married Captain Lee H.
Moler, who died a few years ago. Most
of her life was spent at her home, Linden
Spring Farm, southeast of town, place
widely known by reason ofthe hospitality
so delightfully."- dispensed: Mrs. Moler
was so cheerful and gracious, so kind
and thoughtful, that to be in her presence
was pleasure. A loving wife and de-
voted mother, helpful and sympathetic
neighbor, a sincere friend, few women
have possessed in larger degree the ad-
miration and esteem of our people. She
excelled in every good work, she exem-
plified in her daily life the religion she
professed, and the world is better because
she has lived in it. In Joy and in sorrow
she was the same sweet, noble woman,
and surely for her there is great reward
from her Master to whom her faithful ser
vice was given. She was for many years
a consistent member of the Episcopal
Church. Mrs. Moler is survived by three
sons, Messrs. Lee, Edward T. and Will
liam R. Moler, and one daughter, Mrs.
Frank Engle, the latter living near Wash
inGon; also six brothers, A. P, VIM. L.,
E. Hess, Jacob S. and John c. Remnant,
of this vicinity land Charles H., OF Parsons,
Kansas, and three sisters, Mrs. Susie
Knott, of Washington, Miss Kate Reinhart
and Mrs. S. T. Knott, of this place. The
funeral was held at her late home Sunday
afternoon the service being conducted by
Bishop w. L. Gravatt, OF Charles Town.

The body was laid to rest in Elmwood

rest gently upon it.
