Mrs. Eva Elizabeth Moss Succumbs Here Saturday

Beloved Citizen Had Resided Here 41 Years

Mrs. Eva Elizabeth Meredith Moss, widow of the late Dr. T. A. Moss, died at
her home Saturday evening after having been ill for about a year.  Funeral
services were held at the Winnfield Baptist Church at 2:00 o'clock Sunday
afternoon and at the Mt. Pleasant Church in Caldwell Parish at 4:30 the same
afternoon with the Rev. H. H. McBride, assisted by Rev. H. B. Hysell and Rev.
Alwin Stokes, conducting the rites.  Interment was in the Mt. Pleasant
Cemetery.

Mrs. Moss, who was born February 12, 1851 on the old Meredith homestead three
miles west of Columbia, moved to Winnfield forty-one years ago after the death
of her husband in April, 1920.  She has resided here since that time.  She has
been a member of the First Baptist Church since early girlhood and when she
moved to Winnfield had her membership transferred to the local church of which
she was a member at the time of her death.

Four sons, one daughter, and one sister survive.  They are: Judge Cas Moss,
Mr. J. J. Moss and Mr. A. A. Moss, of Winnfield; Mr. Herbert Moss, of Tremont;
