FORT MADISON NOTES.
(Last Week.)

Friends will be surprised to hear
of the death of Mrs. Merle Basfield
Moore, which occurred at the Sacred
Heart hospital in this city last Fri
day. Mrs. Moore was sick but a
short while and her death came as =
great shock to every one. She was q
loveable young woman and will be
greatly missed by her many friends.
Those attending the funeral of Mrs.
Moore from out of the city were Mr..
Arthur Moore (husband), Mr. M.
Moore, Mrs. Bette Bannister of Rock
Island, Ill.,, Mrs. Griggsby (grand-
mother) and Mrs. X. Johnson Of Keo-
kuk. Mrs. Moore was born in Mus
catine, Iowa, February Is, 1856, and
was nearly 81 years Of age at the
time of her death. She leaves her
mother, Mrs. N. A. Ison, For Madi-
son; husband, Arthur Moore, Rock
Island; Raymond Cranshaw (neph.
ew), and Freida Range (cousin), both
Of this city. The many friends Of the
bereaved ones, and especially of Mrs,
Ison, the mother, freely express their
deep sorrow and sympathy. It was
just about one year ago that Mrs,
1son was bereaved by the loss of an
other daughter, which makes this q
burden, not easily borne The sweet
disposition of Mrs. Moore certainly
justified the comparison Of her life
to a sunbeam"
