Mrs. Charles Moore and Family.

At the age of seven he moved with his parents to Tama County, Iowa, and resided in Tama City. Later the family moved to Botna, Shelby Co, Iowa and here he spent his young life until he was united in marriage to Belle Dales, December 30, 1891. To their union were born four children all of whom are living, Wilford, Nettie, Golda, and Sylvia.

Being afflicted with appendicitis an operation was performed with the hopes of prolonging his stay with us, but his time had come.

He departed this life at Manning, Iowa October 17, 1919. Funeral services were held at the Methodist Church Sunday afternoon and the mortal remains of this good Christian were laid to rest in the Manning Cemetery. His father preceded him about three years ago.

Besides his wife and children, his mother, one brother, four sisters and a host of relatives and friends are left to mourn his departure into the great beyond.

Charles often remarked that the death of his father was the means of greatly strengthening his faith in his Savior. He was converted and later sanctified under the ministry of Rev. S.M. Lehman. Mr. Moore was a consistent Christian man, putting into practice his belief that his Savior and Sanctifier could save unto the utmost.

His closing days were days of victory, his life and messages to his family, relatives, and friends were sermons of inspiration.

He fought a good fight, he finished his course, he won the prize.
