January 15, 1868 she was united in marriage to Dudley Moore, who died February 12 ,1882, and to this union were born three children. In 1892 she was married to J. S. Jessup, who preceded her in death January 7, 1920. In 1889 she was converted and united with the disciple church. She was a regular attendant at church services in her home town as long as health permitted. She was a faithful wife and mother, always thinking of the comfort of others. To know her was to love her, as her quiet unassuming ways won their way in each heart. Truly it can be said of her, “She hath fought a good fight, she hath finished her course, she hath kept the faith.” She leaves to mourn their loss, a sister, Mrs. Anna Bennett, of Gratiot; two daughters, Mrs. Mary Jessup, of near Muir; Mrs. Anna Gage, and one son, Earnest Moore, of Matherton; five step-children, H. D. Jessup, of Lansing; Nelson, of Albion; William, of Flint; Mrs. Loura Bowsher, of Detroit, and Mrs. Bessie Thuma, of Matherton; 23 grandchildren and six great-grandchildren. Funeral services were conducted at the M. E. church, Wednesday afternoon at 1:30, by the pastor, Rev. J. A. Brown, and she was laid to rest amid a profusion of flowers in the East Plains cemetery.
