Yesterday morning in the early hours, the soul of Miss Minnie Moss was loosed from its earthly moorings and bore away on angel wings to the celestial city. For years she had been a patient sufferer, and yet through it all she bore without murmuring the affictions of Providence. Around her dying couch yesterday morning gathered her parents and her loved ones, and when the last earthly spark was extinguished, they knew that beyond the starts another loved one was watching and waiting for them. Miss Moss was a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. L. Moss, of this city, and was known and beloved by a large circle of acquaintances and friends in this city and elsewhere. A devoted and consistent member of the First Methodist Church of this city for many years, she evidenced throu her noble deeds the true and the exemplary faith of the Christian believer. As one of her most intimate friends said yesterday, she was a Christian of the highest type, a true friend to the poor, the sick, the afflicted, and one of whom too much that is good cannot be said or written. The funeral service will be held at 11 o'clock this morning at the First Methodist Church, after which the remains of this lovable and highly esteemed lady will be consigned by loving hands to their last resting place in Oconee Cemetery.
