Column 2GOOD WOMAN
DIED FRIDAYMrs. Will Mosley Passed Away
After a Brief Illness of
Pneumonia.Parlee Thompson, daughter of Andrew J. and Margaret Polight Thompson, was born on the old Thompson homestead near Oak Grove April 18, 1868. Here she grew to womanhood early in life showing marked traits of loving devotion and sympathetic regard for everyone who was overtaken by misfortune. In cases of illness she always was found ready to assist in whatever way she could. These same characteristics were manifest in her later years but greatly intensified.
She was united in marriage to William A. Mosley July 15, 1889 who preceded her in death May 13, 1923. To this union eleven children were born, five of whom died in infancy, the surviving children are, Mrs. Arthur Orth of Keokuk, Ia., Mrs. Clay Reuch of Middle Creek, Melgar near Oak Grove, Ollie, Harlie and Tylee who reside in Carthage.
She is survived by five brothers, John Henry, and William B. Thompson of Carthage, Ed of Burnside, Alvin of Oquaka and Walter of Burlington, Ia., a sister of Mrs. Fred Agnew of Kewanee. Three sisters and a brother preceded her in death. There are also left to mourn her passing eleven grandchildren besides a host of other relatives and friends.
Mrs. Mosley united with the Oak Grove Christian church more than 30 years ago where her fervent religious ideals found ready expression.
She passed away at the home of her son Melgar, near Middle Creek July 11, 1924, death being caused by pneumonia.
The deceased was a wonderful mother, of a bright and cheerful disposition and a true friend with all she came in contact. Born where the woods grow and the birds sing so sweetly, mother was laid to rest near her old home among the wild daisies and the flowers she loved so well and with hopes of a glorious resurrection, when the trumpet will sound and there shall be the reunion with husband, father, mother and many others so dear to her in life.
Funeral services were held Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the Oak Grove church and interment was made in the nearby cemetery. Rev. R. B. Fouts, of the Carthage Christian church, conducted the services.
Card of Thanks.
We desire to express our heartfelt gratitude to the dear friends who administered to us in our dark hours of sorrow, for the services of those at the funeral and to the choir and for the beautiful floral offerings. The Children.
