Services Held for Mrs. Alice Lee Moque
Funeral Oration and Music for Deceased Were Prepared by Herself
In compliance with a wish to which she had frequently given expression during her lifetime, funeral service for Mrs. Alice Lee Moque, prominent in the suffrage movement and literary and women's work in Washington, who died Wednesday at her home in the Savoy, will consist of a service of music and an oration prepared by herself. The service will be held this afternoon at Lee's crematory, at 5 o'clock and the body will be cremated. She was a firm believer in cremation and at her request her body will be so disposed of.
Mrs. Moque recently broke a leg and was recovering from her injury when she suffered an attack of heart disease, which resulted in her death. She had traveled extensively, particularly in the Balkans, and accounts of her travels were published in local papers and in book form under the title, "Beautiful Dalmatia."
She was the first woman to address members of the American Medical Association at one of its annual conventions and she had contributed articles to medical and other publications. She was a former vice president of the Mothers' Congress, a member of the American Penwomen, Authors' Guild, and held membership in and was recently awarded a medal by the Societe Academique D'Historie internationale. During the war she was active in the work of the Women's Volunteer Aid of the Motor Corps.
She was born in New Orleans and is survived by her husband, John Oliver Moque; two sons, Dr. Walter O. Snelling of Allentown, Pa., and Henry Snelling of Washington, and a daughter, Voleta Alice Moque, also of this city.
