The Republican for April 23, 1925:
Moses Hambleton Rawlings, son of William D. and Sarah Smith Rawlings, was born near Lancaster, Ky., April 26, 1838. He was the fifth child of a family of nine children. When he was eight years of age, his parents moved to Hendricks county, Ind. and settled in the thick woods on the farm northwest of Danville, now owned by Miss Sarah Higgins. There the father, mother and children spent the first winter in one room. The family later moved to the farm east of North Salem, now owned by Frank West and there Moses grew to manhood. He received his education in the public school near his home. In 1856, the family moved to Kansas, making the trip in a wagon, but after a six months' sojourn in that state they returned to Indiana.
Early in life, Moses confessed his faith in Christ and united with the M. E. church at Lizton, where his membership remained during his life time. He spent much time reading the Bible and was able to quote many passages from memory.
On Nov. 4, 1858, he was united in marriage to Martha Jane Leach, and to this union were born seven children, a son dying in infancy, Amanda Jane, who died at the age of three years, Wm. D., of near Pittsboro, James L., of near Mont Clair, and Mrs. Grace Leach, of near Jamestown, who survive, Elbert H., who passed away in 1905, and Mrs. Pearl Weddle, who died in 1915. During his married life he lived on his farm one-half mile west of Mont Clair. On February 1, 1907, his wife passed away and in January 1912, he was married to Mrs. Lora E. Heady of Jamestown. After this marriage, he resided in Jamestown until November 1918, when death having claimed his wife, he returned to make his home with his children.
He was a member of the Masonic order until within the last few years. Being very fond of travel, he has taken many trips to western states.
He always had a very strong constitution but his health has been failing for some time. He took his bed March 27, at the home of his son, Wm. D. Rawlings, and passed away at 10:30 a. m., Thursday, April 9, 1925, aged 86 years, 11 months and 14 days. Besides the three children, he leaves fifteen grandchildren, three sisters, Mrs. Susan A. Noland of Maywood, Neb., Mrs. Mary Brooks of York, Neb., and Mrs. Martha Ann Sale, of Kokomo, also a large number of other relatives and friends to mourn their loss. Funeral services were conducted at the Mont Clair church, Sunday at 2:00 p. m., in charge of Rev. Geo. Francis of Indianapolis with interment at North Salem cemetery.
