DEATH OF MRS. MOON LAST SATURDAY REMOVES ONE OF ROANOKE'S OLDEST AND BEST WOMEN

At four o'clock last Saturday morning, the spirit of Mrs. Mariah Moon left its earthly tenement and she was at rest. For nearly 84 years she had tabernacled here and by her humble, faithful, christian life she had been a blessing to many along the way. Her rest is well earned, and her reward will doubtless be full.

During her last illness, which extended over many weeks, following several years of declining health, she was calm and patient and suffered comparatively little pain. Her last thoughts seemed to be of rest in sleep and now that she has entered into that tranquil state from which no earthly alarm can call her back, there is no reason why any should lament, more than for the loss that comes to those who have been bereft of friend and mother.

Hers was a gentle soul. Sunshine radiated from her heart and drew close about her in ties of affection those that knew her best. She fitly exemplified the best in Southern womanhood. She was a lady of good attainments for the day in which she lived. Her husband, Rev. D.S. Moon, a Baptist minister for many years in this section of the state, preceded her to the better world some eighteen years ago. Since that time Mrs. Moon has made her home with her daughter Mrs. Sarah Chewning in this place, where she received the most devoted attention at all times, not only by the family, but by her numerous friends, among whom were numbered people of all ages.

The deceased was a member of the First Baptist church. At 11 o'clock Sunday morning the remains were borne to this edifice where had assembled a congregation that overflowed the main auditorium. The members of the Women's Missionary Society were present in a body to do honor to the memory of their fellow worker. A bank of beautiful flowers was arranged upon the rostrum.

On account of the illness of the pastor Dr. Hines, Mr. Orear, the Methodist pastor, conducted the services which were most fitting and impressive. The old hymns sung by the choir touched and mellowed every heart. The words spoken by the minister were not extravagant but gave full meed of praise to the beautiful character and useful life of the one who hadcrossed the dividing line between time and eternity.

Mr. Orear spoke of the many marvelous changes that took place in the span of life allotted to Mrs. Moon. He narrated much of the progress and many of the inventions that had been accomplished during the past 84 years. The deceased, he said, had lived through five wars, counting as the first one,the conflicts with the Indians. Mrs. Moon, as a young lady, was teaching school back in the fifties. She did her part well in all the trying scenes thru which she passed. When the services at the church were concluded, the remains were carried to the cemetery and interred beside those of Rev. David Moon, to rest until the resurrection morn shall break in splendor on the world.
