John Francis Moss “Jack” as he was commonly called, was born in Peoria, Illinois, Dec. 7, 1855, and when quite young moved with his parents to Brimfield, Illinois, where he resided until his marriage to Mary L. Hamilton, on March 3, 1880 when he came with his wife to Lenox, Iowa where they resided for four years. His work then transferred him to Conway on Feb. 5, 1885, and he resided there until his death which occurred at sunrise on Sunday morning Sept. 19, 1915 after eleven weeks of suffering.
“Jack” was in the employ of the Burlington railway company for 33 years from August 1882 to July 1915 when failing health forced him to give up his work. He was one of the earlier members of Conway Lodge No. 553, I O O F, and for many years was one of the hardest working members, but of late years was deprived of attending on account of his health.
Besides his wife, children and grand-children, he leaves one brother and two sisters and a host of friends to mourn his departure to the world beyond.
A short funeral service was held on Monday at 11 am at the family residence in the northwest part of town, conducted by Rev R E Mitchell, pastor of the M E Church. A large delegation of Odd Fellows, members of the Conway Lodge attended the service in a body and had charge of the last rites at the Lenox Cemetery where his remains were lain in their resting place, by the side of his son who had preceded him on March 12, 1883.
The family have the sympathy of their friends in their hour of bereavement.
