An Old Texas Gone Mrs. Mary Ann Moore died last Saturday evening at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. C. C. Minnis, at the age of 73. Mrs. Moore was the wife of L. P. Moore, an old Texan, who came from Connecticut in the year 1834 and settled in Washington County, being one of the first settlers. Mr. Moore, with his family, moved to Bell County in 1866 and has lived here ever since. The deceased attended regularly every year with her husband the reunion of the Texas veterans till this year when she could not go on account of her ill health. Mrs. Moore was a member of the Methodist church for fifty years, but did not attend services often on account of deafness. The immediate cause of her death was cancer of the stomach from which she had suffered for fifteen years. She leaves her husband hale and hearty at the age of 79, respected and honored as one of Texas’ noblemen, also four children that Bell county finds price in claiming as citizens; D. P. Moore, Mrs. C. C. Minnis, D. W. and T. T. Moore. |
