The following obit for William Springer
Moxley appeared in the Shelby County
Hearld of Sept. 26, 1929.
"Our community was shocked Monday
morning when the newes was spread that
our good friend and neighbor, Wm. Moxley
was found dead by John C. Cleek, small son
of Rexford Cleek, who was sent over to Mr.
Moxley's to get him to help load a hog
early that morning. Mr. Moxley was found
dead in the summer kitchen. As he lived
alone it is not known just what time he
died but as his body was still warm it is
thought that he died early Monday morning.
He was about 75 years of age and had lived
in this community for several years.
He was an unusual man for his age, very
active, always cheerful and jolly and
joking, always thoughtful of others, always
ready to help his neighbors, as was shown
last Friday when he took his team and corn
planter and went over and planted Aunt Sallie
Wood's corn for her and has done this every
year for some time. He operated a wood saw
for many years and the weather never got
too bad if his neighbors called on him to
come and saw their wood and those who
were not financially able to pay him, he
would say,'You don't owe me anything; glad
to do it for you'. This showed some traits
of his friendly disposition. His funeral
will be held at Lowman Chapel Wednesday
afternoon at 2:30, of which church he was
a member. He was a man who didn't make
much pretention but lived his religion
every day, always the same wherever you
met him. He leaves to mourn his going,
Miss Fanny of St. Louis, who spent her
vacations with him, but was in Warrenburg
attending school this summer; Ben, whose
headquarters are in St. Louis; Rev. Sam
Moxley of Monett, Mo.; and Bessie, who is
married and lives at Louisiana, Mo. We
didn't get her name, besides several grand-
children and many friends, who will miss him
so much. His remains will be laid to rest
beside those of his wife in Shelbina, who
preceded him in death in 1921. Thus another
man has passed onto his reward."
