Huntsville Weekly Democrat,  September 24, 1902
Death of Mrs. R. B. Rhett
In this city on Friday, Sept. 18, 1902, of typhoid malarial fever, Mrs. 
Harriet Moore Rhett, beloved wife of  Col. Robert Barnwell Rhett.
Death came as “the jewel of the just,” to relieve the sufferings of our dear 
friend, and those who loved her best knew that the triumph was here, and 
prayed fervently “blessed be the name of the Lord,” who had taken her to 
Himself.
Mrs. Rhett was a daughter of the late Dr. David Moore.  Her first husband was 
Dr. Barnard, who died and left her a widow with tow lovely daughters, Misses 
Mattie and Katie.  Both survive her and the latter is Mrs. J. W. Caldwell, of 
Knoxville.
Her second marriage was to Col. Rhett, of Charleston, S. C., which union was 
blessed by a son, Harry Moore, both of whom mourn her loss.
The deceased was a beautiful woman with the face of a Madonna, and a character 
so refined and gentle, combined with a gifted cultivated mind, that she ever 
attracted the admiration and affection of those who knew her.  Her memory is 
held as the exemplification of all that is purest and best in woman.  The 
funeral occurred on Sunday afternoon, and the lowly mound was covered with the 
rarest flowers, as a tribute from loving friends.
