THE NEWNAN HERALD
NEWNAN, GA.  FRIDAY, APRIL 5.

TURIN

It becomes our painful duty this week to chronicle the death of Mrs. Mary
E. Moses, which occurred on Friday morning last, following a long
illness.  She was the widow of Hon. Ansley Moses, who died many years
ago, and had passed her eightieth year.  She had been a patient sufferer,
and when the final hour came she was resigned, her heart overflowing with
the joy anticipated in being re-united with loved ones who had preceeded
her to the better land.  She was a daughter of the late Chas. Leavell,
one of Coweta's early residents.  In her young days she united with
Ebenezer Baptist church, and was ever a zealous worker in the Master's
cause.  When Turin Baptist Church was constituted she enrolled as a
charter member, and continued this relationship until her death.  She was
the honored mother of five children - L. T. Moses, C. L. Moses,
R. N. Moses, Mrs. V. A. Ham and Mrs. A. S. Jones - only two of whom
survive.  They are Judge l. T. Moses and Mrs. A. S. Jones.  She was a
sister of Mrs. H. S. Rees.  Funeral services were held at Turin Baptist
Church Saturday morning.  Dr. S. b. Cousins officiated, who was assisted
by Rev. J. F. Eden of Senoia, Rev. R. M. Stevens of Sharpsburg and
Rev. H. S. Rees of Turin.  Her remains were carried to Newnan, and after
a brief burial service by Dr. J. S. Hardaway they were laid to rest in
the family lot.  A large concourse attended the funeral, and the floral
offerings were profuse and beautiful.  As she clasped the writer's hand
for the last time she said, "We will meet over yonder on the heavenly
shore."

Dr. Camp and Mr. T. W. Methvin, of Senoia, and Judge P. M. Waltom, of
Raymond, visited the writer's family the first of the week.

Nice showers the past few days have caused vegetation to put forth
rapidly.  Some of our farmers are planning cotton.  Good stands of corn
everywhere, and it is looking well.
