MRS. MOSES 79 DIES TUESDAY AT SON'S HOME

Many Attend Funeral Wednesday P. M., Hickory Grove

Several children Are Surviving, Attend Funeral

Mrs. Thursa Moses, 79. died at the home of her son Robert Moses on Lynn Avenue Tuesday Morning of heart trouble. The body was taken to her former home in Monroe County for interment. Funeral services were held this afternoon at Hickory Grove Baptist Church, a large number attending. The Rev. Horace Atkins officiated. Interment was made in the church cemetery. Mrs. Moses since the death of her husband several years ago, had made her home with her children, living at one place for awhile then at another. Last January she came to Athens to visit her two sons in Athens, Bob and Johnnie. She had been ailing with heart trouble for some time and was only recently taken ill with the flu, and it is thought this disease hastened the end.

She was a member of the Baptist church and was a devoted Christian. She was the mother of ten children, eight of which survive. They are: Mrs. Emaline Snyder of Oklahoma; Mrs. Myrtle Tallent, of California; Mrs. Susie Cook of Mt. Vernon, Monroe County; Henry Moses of Illinois; Will and Harrison Moses of Mt. Vernon and Bob and Johnnie Moses of Athens. Several relatives and friends accompanied the body to Monroe County this afternoon. Undertaker Evans was in charge of arrangements.
