Oct. 27, 1927 page 5 Philippi Republican

Mrs. Lucy L. Moats died at her home last Sunday morning, October 16, 1927,
at 7:30 o'clock, at the age of 78y, 9m and 8 days. She was a daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. William Duckworth. She leaves behind to mourn her loss a mother, nine
children and two stepchildren, (her husband having died 12 years previous)

The children are: Harper and Stevens of Akron; Warner, Mrs. Otto Weaver, Mrs.
Chloe Duckworth, of Moatsville, Rt #2, Mrs. Myrtle Bennett, of Philippi,R.F.D.;
Mrs. Naomi Moore and Lucy of Grafton, and Beecher at home. Two stepchildren,
Mary Nestor and Isaac; twenty six grandchildren and five great grandchildren.

She was a devoted mother and loved by all that knew her. We shall miss her
greatly but the father of all surely knows best and we must bear our sorrow
the best we can.
