MOORE, ROSETTA GRACE
(2 Jan 1925, Elk City Newspaper, Elk City, Beckham Co, OK):
Rosetta Grace Moore was born in Kansas, in January 1909 and died at her
home near Berlin, Dec. 26, 1924.  She has been attending High School in
Oklahoma City with an elder sister.  They came home to spend Christmas
holidays.  She took sick on Thursday and died Friday afternoon.  Her
disease was unknown and beyond all human knowledge.
She had a smiling disposition and was always kind to everyone.  Her smiles
will be greatly missed.  Her last expression to her friends before she
went away to school, "I am going to do all I can for my Lord."  She will
be greatly missed in the entire community.
The funeral services were held at the Berlin school house Sunday, 2
o'clock Dec. 28, 1924.  Rev. W. T. Lackey of Hammon, a former pastor of
the Methodist Church of Berlin, conducted the services.  "Rock of Ages"
and "In the Sweet By and By" were sung.  A song she had sung with the
family at home "Think of the Home Over There."  The choir sang this as the
audience passed by and looked at the body for the last time.
The pall bearers were Winston and Chester Millington, Paul Creason,
Charley Samples, Hubert Johnson and Roy Hartman.
The body was taken to the Berlin (Roger Mills county) cemetery in the
Hullum hearse from Sayre.
She leaves her parents, Mr. and Mrs. D. W. Moore, sisters, Marie and Ruth
and brothers Glenn and Delbert and her Grandma Whitaker.
