(Cedartown Standard, Thursday, February 13, 1919) 
Mary Alice Moore, the sweet eleven-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. S. 
Moore, died Tuesday morning from pneumonia, following influenza, and the 
remains were taken by her parents yesterday to Decatur for interment. She was 
an exceptionally bright and popular pupil in the 5th grade of our city schools, 
and the bereaved family have much sympathy in their sad loss. Rev. W. R. Mackay 
conducted funeral services Tuesday afternoon at the residence on College 
Street, and accompanied the family to Decatur yesterday. An honorary escort of 
Boy Scouts attended the funeral. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, February 13,

Mary Alice Moore, Though young and happy, With many friends so dear, Though all 
around so bright and fair, The hour of death was near. Such in the early quite 
hours of a February morning was the sad departure of Mary Alice Moore. The end 
came peacefully to her sweet spirit as a relief from the suffering she could no 
longer endure, and entered into eternal rest which is so precious to the 
children of God. Possessing a sunny and cheerful disposition, she was a comfort 
to her father and mother and loved by her teachers and companions. And yet we 
cannot understand why one so young and unselfish and with a future so bright, 
should be taken; but our heavenly Father doeth all things well and has a 
glorious purpose in all His work. Therefore, be it resolved: That the sad 
removal of such a bright member of our Sunday school has left a vacancy, the 
great sorrow of which is realized. That it is with the most profound sentiments 
of love and appreciation of her and the sincerest grief over her death that we 
extend our sympathy to the loved ones and commend them to Him who alone can 
bind up broken hearts. "A precious one from us has gone, A voice we loved is 
stilled; A place is vacant in her class, Which ever can be filled. God in His 
wisdom has recalled, The boon His love had given, And though the body slumbers 
here, The soul is safe in heaven. (Cedartown Standard, Thursday, March 13,
