IN MEMORY OF FRED MOSER

January 2, 1916, at 5 80 A. M. at
his home near Gilbert's Creek, Fred
Moser, one of the oldest and most
highly esteemed citizens of Lincoln
county, passed to his eternal reward.
He was seriously bruised in a run
away accident two years ago, which
occurred on Harris Hill, west of
Stanford. He had been in declining
health ever since. Up to the time he
was hurt, in spite of his old age,
of the county. Mr.. Moser was es-
tuition and memory. He was born
from his late home and he had spent
his entire life in this county.
While in his teens Fred Moser be-
gan his own business career and by
industry, enterprise and thrift, he
quickly acquired financial indepen-
dence and an honorable, enviable
place among his fellow men. Early
in life he was married to Luvenia
Reynolds, of Naynesburg, after
which they lived at Kings Mountain
many years, where they raised a
large family. He was a member of
Pleasant Point Baptist church and
in all its duties was ready to do his
part. In the last four years he had
lost two brothers, John Moser, aged
90, of Missouri, and James Moser,
aged IS, of Garrard county. He was
the last member of large family,
all of them having lived to reach the
four score mark.
Life, in all its phases, was seri-
Gus duty to him and patiently and
conscientiously he did his humble
part, without ostentation or care for
notice and to have even the simplest
enterprise succeed was his pleasure
and reward. The concourse of rel
atives and friends were painfully
grieved when it was known that Mr..
Moser had passed on to the Great
Beyond, but that evening about, Is
hours from his death, when his dear
ly beloved helpmate passed away,
all were given an inestimable shock.
Mrs. Moser had reached her 18th
milestone in life on New Years
day. She had been in feeble health
for the past II or Is years and for
seven years she had been an invalid
due to rheumatism She bore her
infrmities well and was about as
we'll as usual. when it was announc-
ed that her husband was dead. She
at once became weaker and her frail
body could not stand the great
shock. She passed from life into the
shadowy vale of death as calmly and
as peacefully as the setting of the
sun. and met the inevitable as she
would a newly-made friend.
Mrs Moser was born in this cOun-
ty near Waynesburg, on January l,
1910. She was a daughter of the
late Jackson and Tibitha McKinZie
Reynolds, pioneer settlers of that
section who came from old Virginia
stock. She was united in marriage
to the late Mr. Moser in 1853. In
life we meet but few such women as
Mrs. Moser. She possessed all the
true virtues and fine traits of char
acter of womanhoOd, and was one
of those gentle and lovable women
whom it was a source OF pleasure
| to come in contact with. Her mind
was strong and vigorous and she de-
! lighted to tell of the times when she
was a young lady, and it was always
| a pleasure to be a listener.
Truly a good woman has gone to
| her reward, with her white hairs
crowned with wreaths of honor and
glory. for having well filled her mis-
sion here on earth.
She was a member of the Baptist
church, and a true believer in the
Christ.
Mr.. and Mrs. Moser are survived
by nine children and a number or
grand and great-grand children, who
are sorrowing over their flight to
the eternal world The children are
Messrs. VIM, John, Josh and Dan,
Miss Jane, Mrs. Rosa Lunsford, Mrs.
Logan Reynolds, all of this county.
Mrs. James Singleton, OF Texas, and
Mr.. Logan Moser, of Hamilton, o.
A double funeral was held Tuesday
afternoon at their late home, con-
Quoted by Mr.. j. C. McClary. The
sons acted as pallbearers.
The remains were then taken to
Stanford, and with naught to disturb
their peaceful slumber, they were
laid to rest among beautiful blossoms,
calm and serene, in the Buffalo GEM
etery Grandson, Walter Moser.
