GEORGE W. MORELAND DEAD
After a severe illness of over three months, George W. Moreland died at his home in this place on Wednesday morning. His death was due to wounds received in the late war.
The deceased was born in Owen County, Indiana, January 27, 1847. On August 22, 1862, at the age of 15 years, he entered the service in Co. I, 82nd Indiana Volunteers. He was engaged in several terrible battles, and on February 27, 1863, received seven wounds at Buzzard Roost, Ga., from which he was a sufferer up to the time of his death.
On October 10, 1867, Mr. Moreland and Miss Mary A. Johnson were married. To them were born five daughters, Miss Dade, Mrs. Addie Matson, Mrs. Bertha Muncie, Mrs. Myrtle Buchanan and Miss Blanchie.
About twenty years ago the family moved to Ellettsville where they have since resided. During the last ten years, Mr. Moreland served several terms as Marshal of Ellettsville, being elected to that position at the last town election which office he resigned a few weeks ago on account of his physical disabilities.
The deceased was endowed by nature with a fine intellect, and whatever his fault may have been, his efforts in the various lines of work in which he engaged were always characterized by much energy, tact and good understanding of the work in hand. As a soldier there was none better, and hard work throughout his life was his custom, when in justice to himself he should have relied solely on the government for his support. His pension was increased in February from $30 to &72 per month with back pay.
Funeral services were held at the Christian Church Thursday afternoon and were largely attended, and a very able sermon was preached by Eld. W. H. Krutsinger to whom Mr. Moreland had lately expressed deep concern for his future welfare and renewed his affiliation with the Christian Church. The
burial was at the C. P. Cemetery.
To Mrs. Moreland and the family, sympathy is extended.
