                      Mrs. Wm. G. Moos Died Suddenly Sunday, December 10

                      Deceased Had Lived Nearly All Her LIfe On One Ranch

  In the homegoing of Mrs. Tibble Craft Moos, wife of W. G. Moos, at the ranch home on the
Kerrville road Sunday evening, December 10, Kimble County has lost another one of her real
pioneer citizens.  Mrs. Moos had been suffering some recently from what the family thought
was rheumatism, but was apparently as well as usual.  She complained some late Sunday
afternoon with her head and throat, but sat at the supper table with the famiy and performed
some of her evening chores.  When she came in, her sister, Mrs. Gumm, who has been with her
some time, realized that she was ill and called for Mrs. Craft Moos, who immediately called
in their physician.  He spent some time by her bedside.  She was apparently in no immediate
danger, but died soon after the physician left.
  Funeral services were held at the ranch home Monday afternoon, by Reverend G. W. Crofoot
of Kingsville, assisted by Rev. Thomas J. Bradley of Junction.  A quartet composed of Mrs. 
A. W. Loeffler, Mrs. Chester Bannowsky, K. G. Durst and Willard Hawkins, rendered a beautiful
vocal number.  Interment was in the Junciton Cemetery.
  The following served as active pall bearers:
  W. W. Bowers, Frank Rembold, F. M. Bierschwale, W. H. Dunk, Ben Sigal and Crate Phillips.
  Honorary pall bearers:  M. N. Harrison, P. J. Rembold, Joe Bishop, H. P. Rankin, F. H.
Dunk, J. A. Heyman, Frank Bissett, J. N. Hodges, C. A. Schraub, E. A. Loeffler, A. W. Loeffler,
W. G. Ward, Nobel Jobes, G. P. Marrs, E. E. Jones, Rev. Wm. Bierschwale, Doug Jobes, Charlie 
Bowers, Bob Bowers, and all other pioneer friends.
  ... in Travis County January 12, 1866.  The Craft family moved to Kimble county when Mrs.
Moos was 15 years old, and her father bought the place on which she has lived nearly 60 years.
She was married to Wm. G. Moos in Junction on December 25, 1888, County Judge E. S. Aley
performing the marriage ceremony.  Soon after their marriage, Mr. Moos bought the place which 
had been owned by Mrs. Moos' parents.  Only one son, Craft, was born to Mr. and Mrs. Moos.
He has always lived on the ranch with them.  After his marriage, he built a home near his parents.
  Mrs. Moos is survived by her aged husband, one son, three sisters--Mrs. Mary Gumm, Tuscon (sic),
Arizona; Mrs. Abbie Gumm, Tuscon (sic), Ariz. and Mrs. Delia Gilliam, San Diego, California,
and one brother, Charlie Craft, Lone Wolf, Oklahoma.
  She was a member of the Presbyterian Church and requested that her good friend G. W. Crofoot,
conduct her funeral services.
  Mrs. Moos was loved by her many pioneer friends as was evidenced by the large number at the
funeral services.  The beautiful floral offering also testified as to her popularity in the
community whre she has long lived.  The paths of life that she has traveled is strewn with
deeds of kindness and good cheer.  She was quiet and unassuming in her manner.
  Her husband has lost a true companion, the son, a devoted mother; and the sisters and
brother, a loving sister.  She is gone but her memory will live on in the hearts of loved ones.
