MARION MOSS HAS PASSED AWAY Was Perhaps One of The Oldest Women In Newton County Funeral Held Monday Mrs. Marion Moss, perhaps one of the oldest people in this section of the state, died at her home in this city Sunday at an advanced age. She has been known to the people of Covington for the past fifty years, and she and her husband were among the first settlers in this city and county. Mr. Moss preceded her to the grave some five or six years. He was for a long time proprietor of the old mill just below town and was known to all the old people as well as the young ones. There was perhaps never in the history of the city one who held the respect and confidence of the people as a whole as did Mr. Marion Moss and his estimable wife. They were always ready to render aid and assistance to all in distress and Mrs. Moss particularly had the love and esteem of the entire city. She was the mother of Rev. Frank Moss. The funeral occurred Monday afternoon and was largely attended by the people of the city. This file has been created by a form at http://www.poppet.org/gafiles/ File size: 1.5 Kb
