Word comes from Indianola of the death there on December 28th of Mrs. D. W. Moore, a former resident of Clarinda. Mr. and Mrs. Moore formerly lived here, and were most highly respected. The Clarinda friends of this excellent family will be grieved to learn of Mrs. Moore's death. The Indianola Record says of the deceased:
On Saturday evening, Dec. 28, 1907, Mrs. Nancy Moore, of Indianola, Iowa, was called to her reward. Her maiden name was Baird. She was born in Guernsey county, Ohio, on the 20th day of August, 1833.
In 1854 she came with her parents to Columbus City, Iowa. Two years later she was united in marriage to D. W. Moore. For over half a century they traveled the pathway of life together. They started the home with the family altar, and they kept the fire burning on that altar through all the years. They were much devoted to each other.
This union was blessed with eight children, five of whom are still living. They are Dora, Indianola; Miss M. L., Waterloo; John, Indianola, William, Bayard; and Harry, St. Paul, Minn.
This family came to Indianola in 1893, and has proved to be one of the best and most substantial families of our city. The children are all earnest Christians, and were much devoted to their mother. A kind providence made it possible for these children to be with her in her last sickness and at the time of her death. Her two sisters, Susan Baird and Mrs. T. M. McKenry of this city, were also at her bedside. A beautiful devotion was manifest on the part of all, and a calm trusting leaning upon Jesus. The death-chamber was not without the heavenly light.
At an early age she united with the church, and was a most devoted and consistent member of the United Presbyterian church of Indianola. Source: Clarinda Herald, Clarinda, Iowa, Jan 14, 1908.
