Jackson Argus – Week of March 25, 1897
Miss Connis Moore – Drowned

Jonesboro, Ga.  March 20, 1897

Miss Connis Moore, a young lady who once lived in Jonesboro, was drowned in
Alocva river, in Newton county, last Sunday afternoon, and her body brought here
and interred yesterday morning.

The sad occurrence was the end of an afternoon that had been spent in the
pleasure of boat riding.    With a party of friends, and under the care of A. B.
Coogler, a relative, the unfortunate young lady went on a boat ride on the
river, which was swollen, from rain.   The current proved too strong and the
boat was capsized, carrying the young lady to a watery grave.

The body was not recovered until Tuesday, when it was prepared for burial and
brought here for the funeral.

The deceased was a grand-daughter of Mrs. Sparta Coogler, one of the oldest
residents of Jonesboro, and she leaves a large number of relatives and friends
to sorrow over her sad death.
