The Cherokee Advance   Saturday 3 Feb 1883 p 3
A Sad and Sudden Death
Alonzo Moss, a worthy young man, who was born in Canton, died suddenly, last
Tuesday in Atlanta, with meningitis.

Alonzo Moss was a large-hearted, unselfish boy.  He was sober, industrious and
selfsacrificing (sic).

No work was too hard, where he could help the distressed, or accommodate his
friends.

He was left an orphan, by the death, first of a kind and good mother, when a
mere child.  In a short time an indulgent father passed from earth.

The last year, after experiencing a heart-change, was baptized into the Baptist
church in Bartow county.  His life after this accorded with his profession.

His attack soon produced unconsciousness. But his christian life was
unmistakable evidence of happiness in the "beyond."

He leaves three dear sisters and many other near friends to mourn his untimely
death.  How sad this bereavement; so young and promising, and the only brother!
Not quite twenty years of age, yet called to lay down his life.  He was buried
in Canton by his father and mother on last Thursday after religious services in
the Methodist church.
