West Carroll Gazette-Oak Grove, La. September 20, 1938
  
  Final rites for the late John E. Moss, 51 year-old farmer who died at 3 p.m. 
yesterday at his home near Oak Grove, were conducted this afternoon with full 
miliary honors by the Catron-Kelly American Legion post of which the deceased 
was a member.  The servces were held from the Robinson funeral chapel and 
continued at the Oak Grove Cemetery where the body was interred.  The Rev. 
John R. Campell, pastor of the First Baptist Church, officiated at the brief 
service at the chapel.
  The deceased is survived by two daughters, Earline and Mildred Moss; two 
sons Earl and Edgar Moss; two brothers, Arthur and Elzie Moss; and three half 
sisters, Mrs. Ada Lee, Mrs. C.B. Thompson,  and Miss Opal Moss.
  As the flag-draped casket was lowered into the grave, a volley of shots were 
fired over the body, and "Taps" were sounded by Buddy Grasby.
  Members of the legion post serviced as  honorary pallbearers with 
Legionnaires, D.W. McBride, L.L. James, E.E. Hurley, W.A. Dodd, Thomas H. 
Vining, Arthur Defee, B. Boyte, and Wade Hampton serving as active pallbearers.
  The deceased, who had been in ill health for a number of years was born on 
April 30, 1887 in Illinois.  He had been a resident of West Carroll Parish 
since 1906, moving here from Missouri.
