Goodwater Enterprise
Mrs. Frances Bell Moon, aged 79, widow of the late Dr. William Henry Moon, died 
at her home in Goodwater last Friday night. Feb. 26. The rites were conducted in 
the Goodwater Baptist Church last Saturday p.m. at 2 o'clock by Rev. S.H. 
Bennett, a former pastor, assisted by Rev. G.E Driskill of the local Methodist 
Church. She was buried beside her husband at Lineville, where both of them were 
reared. Her five sons and a son-in-law, T. H. Neighbors were active pall 
bearers. A beautiful feature of the funeral service was a solo, "There's No 
Night There" by her daughter-in-law, Mrs. Jacob R. Moon. Dr. Moon died two years 
ago having lived to celebrate their golden wedding. Mrs. Moon looked forward to 
and talked of her reunion with him whom she had loved long since and lost 
awhile. Wife of a busy physician and mother of a large family, she was decidedly 
of the home keeping type. With many tasks and responsibilities, almost her only 
diversion was reading. She loved good books and she and her husband surrounded 
their family with what was sound and worthwhile in literature. Square dealing, 
pure minded, intelligent, utterly truthful, she wanted to stamp these traits 
upon her children and in them she has her reward. Modest and self-effacing she 
helped to fit them for places of usefulness and honor. Her husband was known in 
the gates and her children arise up and call her blessed. One daughter, Mrs. 
Frank McElvey of Columbus, Ga. died a year ago. The children surviving her are 
Miss Lulu, W.P. and John H. of Goodwater, Miss Frances of Columbus, Ga. Mrs. 
Fulton Pace of Gulfport, Col. Hartley A. and Mrs. B. M. Ohme of Montgomery, C.D. 
of Bham, Mrs. T. H. Neighbors of Clanton and Lieut. Jacob R. of Ft. Benning Ga, 
two sisters, two brothers and a number of grandchildren also mourn her loss.
