In Memoriarn
pr. c. a. Moornan

DR.. Charles T. Moorman, son Of
Chas T. and Matilda Norman, was
born March 30, 1885, in Green county.
Ohio, and departed this life February
4. 1918 at his home in Packwood. Iowa,
aged SO years, 10 months and 4 days.
DR.. Norman. the last Of four broth
ers who were electic physicians, has for
more than forty years been a success
full practitioner III Jefferson county. He
was member Of the Iowa State Medi-
cal society and of the United States
Medical association, also served for
years as medical examiner for num-
Der Of insurance companies and fra
ternal organizations, as well as health
officer for Packwood and Polk town
ship.
In addition to all this he had an ex-
tensive private practice and has long
been recognized as the loved and trust
ed physician in hundreds Of homes.
Added to his scientific knowledge and
professional skill, was a ready sym
pathy which enabled him to quickly
understand his patients, and in the
diagnosis OF cases he was always most
careful and conscientious, ministering
to all alike without thought Of remun-
GRAFTON from those who were unable to
pay. His practice was continued until
two weeks before his death.
In 1857 DR.. Norman was united In
marriage to Sarah Jane Allen of Green
county, Ohio Mrs. Marcella Young OF
Portland, Oregon. Mrs. Bertha Myers,
John A. Norman and G. A. Moorman
Of Packwood; ane son Fenton T. and
two daughters having preceded their
father in death.
His first wife passing away In April
1873, DR.. Norman was again married
May 20, 1875, to Miss Maria Jones OF
Green county, Ohio, who is left to
mourn the loss of a kind husband.
DR.. Norman was a public spirited
man, being always interested in the
welfare 'of the town and county. He
was an honored member Of the Ma
sonic fraternity and was q living ex-
popent of its teachings.
A patient and true husband and low
ing father, reliable friend, he will be
missed greatly by the entire commun-
ity.
One line from letter received by his
family, from a sympathizing friend ex-
presses the feeling of ALA friend
has gone: man has died"
Funeral services were held Wednes-
day morning at the home and We're IN
charge of Rev Cha.s. Ward of the M. p.
church. Owing to the condition OF the
roads and poor train service, Claude
Alexander and son Of Oskaloosa were
the only relatives from out Of town who
were able to be present, although flow
ers and messages We're received from
a great many others.-Contributed.

MOOSE WILL
ERECT HOME
Local Lodge Plans to Build Handsome
Home on Roanoke Avenue in Next
Twelve Months Through Roanoke
Rapids Building & Loan Association.
DETAILS BEING WORKED OUT.

A handsome Moose home in
this community will be erected
IN the next twelve or fifteen
months. This was decided at
the meeting Of Roanoke Rapids
Lodge No. 1884 on last Wednes-
day night. The lodge at that
meeting appointed a committee,
composed of DR.. T. w. M. Long,
J. L. Cobb, w. T. Collins, j. T.
Chase and W. F. Joyner, to in
vestigate and report recommend
ing type of building to be erect
ed and location on Roanoke
Avenue.
Nothing at all definite can be
known in advance of the commit
tees report and the action of the
lodge thereon, but it seems that
the prevailing idea IN the lodge
is to erect a home on the Avenue
about half way between Rose
mary and Roanoke Rapids, of a
purely residence type, with club
rooms, auditorium, baths. game
rooms and sleeping apartments
for out of town Moose.
The lodge subscribed to fifty
shares of the Ninth Series of the
Roanoke Rapids Building & Loan
Association which opens on
September 7, and plans to make
a similar subscription to the
Tenth Series next March. When
they build, they will do so
through the Building and Loan
and pay for the building from
their monthly dues.
The lodge also voted to pay
the dues of all of its members
who have gone into the service
of the United States.
