affectionate and loving grand-mother, the friends a useful and helping neighbor,
and the church a devout and faithful christian worker. Mother, grand-mother
and neighbor is at rest, One by one, our dear ones go before, We miss her
but God knows best, We shall meet them on the other shore.

MITCHELL -- ST. PARIS NEWS-DISPATCH, Thurs. 9 Oct 1919
The many friends and relatives here of Oliver P. MITCHELL were startled to
tears of his sudden death which occurred Friday afternoon at his farm home
three miles west of Markie, IN. Death came while he was at work in the
field.
Mr. MITCHELL was the son of John and Sarah MITCHELL and was born Nov. 17
1860 and departed this life Oct. 3 1919, aged 54 years, 10 mos and 16 days.
He died suddenly from neuralgia of the heart.
Before returning to his work at noon he complained of pains about the heart,
but thinking nothing serious, went back to the field where he was sowing
wheat. Later in the afternoon he returned to the house for a little grain
to finish the field. A short while after, his son Arthur noticed the team
his father was using had been standing an unusually long time, so he went
to see what was wrong and to his great surprise found that the Great Reaper
had taken his father home, Yea to a better country.
Mr. MITCHELL was gifted in marriage to Estella MCMORRAN, South Whitley IN,
Sep 22, 1983. To this union were born four children all of whom survive.

MOORE -- The Attica Independent, Attica, Kansas, 14 January
1926
Funeral of J. A. Moore - Funeral services for the late J. A. Moore were held
on last Saturday morning at 10:00 o'clock at the Attica United Brethren church.
The change in the hour from that announced last week was made necessary by
the fact that one of the sons could not be here in the afternoon. Members
of the local Masonic lodge bore the body to the church, and accompanied it
to its final resting place in the cemetery at Harper. Rev. A. J. Bruner conducted
the funeral service, and read the following obituary:
J. A. Moore was born at Attica, Ohio, July 15, 1849; died at his home in
Attica, Kansas, January 6, 1926; aged 76 years, four months and 11 days.
He came to Harper, Kansas, March 4, 1884, and settled on a farm 2 ½
miles northeast of Attica. Later he accepted a position with the A. T. &
S. F. railway and moved to Attica.
He married Sallie J. Comer at St. Paris, Ohio, April 1869, after which ten
children were born, three of whom have passed on before and are at rest.
Clara Hartzell, J. H. Moore, W. F. Moore, Guy E. Moore, Hattie Koeppen, J.
A. Moore Jr., and Roy C. Moore, with their mother and one sister, Lottie
Snapp of Natoma, Kansas, still survive.
Mr. Moore was a member of the German Lutheran church at St. Paris, Ohio.
In early life he joined the Masonic lodge and has been for years a member
of the A. F. & A. M. Lodge No. 262 in Attica. He was also a member of
the Welcome Chapter No. 203, O. E. S., in Attica.
He was a good citizen, loyal to his country, just to men, charitable to the
poor, always meekly bowed to the ordinance of law; and was no less to this
church and his God. He loved his home, was a faithful husband, a kind father
to his children, and loved to make it pleasant and enjoyable in the home.
The winter has its frost, the summer its thunder storm, the rose its thorn,
the day its night, the sun his spots; life has its sweet and bitter, and
death must have its sting. How sweet it is to know that the resurrection
will clothe mortality with a life that will never die!
CARD OF THANKS To the dear friends and neighbors who came to mean so much
to us for their many acts of helpful kindness during the long illness and
at the time of the death of our dear husband and father, we wish in this
way to express our most sincere appreciation and thanks. Mrs. S. J. Moore
and children.

While a young girl Mrs. Moore gave her heart to God. She united with the
United Brethren Church in Ohio, and in later years transferred her membership
to the Attica United Brethren Church. Mrs. Moore was loyal to her church,
and a true and faithful Christian. She was always a regular attendant at
the prayer meeting and acted as president of the Aid Society for several
years. She gave generously of her means, and often went beyond her strength
to help others in time of need. The memory of her good virtues will linger
with us.
"She has crossed the divide but left a trial, That you and I alone must tread.
Gone from our sight, beyond the veil, Through the mystic portals of the dead.
We miss her smile, and her word of cheer, But her deeds of kindness are memories
dear."
Twelve years ago Mr. and Mrs. Moore celebrated their golden wedding anniversary
at their home in Attica; all but one of their children were home on that
happy occasion.
She was a loving and kind wife and mother. Mr. Moore preceded her in death
six years ago. For several months before his death, he was confined to his
bed and Mrs. Moore was always at his bedside, she was never to weary to
administer to his comforts. After his passing she made her home with the
children. And at her death was at the home of her sister, Mrs. W. G. Short.
Mrs. Moore was in usual health, that morning she complained of not feeling
well, but at noon ate a hearty dinner, in a few minutes she was stricken
with paralysis and passed from this life in a few hours.
She was a member of "Welcome Chapter" No. 203, Order of eastern Star, at
Attica. Her friends have often heard her say when the work was exemplified
exceptionally well "This is just a season to go to heaven in."

Dr. Adam MOSGROVE was born August 12, 1790 at Enniskillen, in the county
of Tyrone, Ireland. At a proper age his early education was entrusted to
to a private tutor, who gave him a good English education, and prepared him
to attend a regular course of studies in the Medical College at Edinburgh,
Scotland, from whence he entered the Royal College of Surgery at Dublin,
Ireland, graduating on the 7th day of April 1814, and was immediately
commissioned a surgeon in the British Navy. While in his native land he passed
the various degrees of Masonry and, at twenty six years, had attained the
rank of a Royal Arch Mason. Throughout his life he was an active, devoted
and consistent Mason, and held high rank in the order.
He left his home in Ireland on Easter Monday 1815, sailing for America in
the ship Charlotte, of which he was the surgeon. Arriving off the American
coast the Charlotte became disabled in a storm and put into the Philadelphia
harbor for repairs, but a dispute having arisen between the ship's officers
and the British Government, the officers resigned their comissions and left
the ship to rot in the harbor, and for many years after its hull could be
seen swaying in the water until decay gave it completely to destruction.
The doctor was then in a strange land, and one that was new, rough, and
semi-barbarous.He had a small fortune of seventy guineas, premium money given
him at the start of his cruise in the Charlotte, and with it as capital to
begin life with, he started west. The first location was at Lancaster, Pa.,
and the second at Elizabethtown, in both of which places he practiced medicine.
In 1817 he was married to Mary MILLER, at the latter town. She was a sister
to the late Lawrence MILLER of Urbana.
In some way he heard of George MOORE, formerly a well-known citizen of Urbana,
now deceased, who had early settled here, and who was born in the doctor's
native town. In that day there was comparatively few of Tyrone's natives
in this country, and they were widely separated. The ties of nativity were
sufficiently strong to attract Dr. MOSGROVE to the home of his old friend,
and in 1818 he packed his possessions in a wagon and with his wife trudged
away to the far west - for Urbana was on the frontier then - and they arrived
here in the latter part of June. We believe that there are but fourteen persons
now living in Urbana who were here at that time, and but two who were then
over eighteen years of age.
A few hundred dollars of coin constituted the wealth of Dr. MOSGROVE at that
time, and in accordance with the prevailing sentiment of safe investments,
he put it into real estate, at the very high prices which ruled in that year.
Within the ensuing year the prices of land declined fully two-thirds, and
, as he retained the lands he bought up to his death, a delay of a year or
two in the purchases of lands would have made a vast difference in the fortune
possessed at his death. The old frame house still standing west of the Weaver
house, was purchased with the tier of lots west to Walnut and south to Market
streets. In this house he resided for anumber of years until the new residence
was built on the north west corner of the same ground, and where he resided
to the day of his death.
The only political office he ever held was Deputy U.S. Marshal, in 1830,
in which year he took the census of Champaign county. He was a strict Democrat,
but always lived in a township, county, and District which was opposed to
him in politics. The party has several times placed him in nomination for
representative in Congress, and for Senator in the Ohio Legislature. But
with overwhelming majorities against the party, it was never anticipated
that an election was possible.
In 1834 he was married a second time, to Frances A. FOLEY, a daughter of
John FOLEY, a distinguished citizen of Clark county. She survives the doctor,
though now in feeble health.Of his family yet living in this city, there
remain John A. MOSGROVE, the eldest son, with two children viz: Mrs. Frances
BACON, of Logansport, Ind., Dr. S. M. MOSGROVE and Emma MOSGROVE, of Urbana;
Dr. W. A. MOSGROVE, Maggie MOSGROVE and James M. MOSGROVE, sons and daughter
of Col. W. F. MOSGROVE, the second son, who died here in 1870, and Dr. James
M. MOSGROVE, the youngest son.
Dr. MOSGROVE was a regular practitioner in Urbana for more than half a century,
and well-known in a circuit of one hundred miles in diameter, while his
professional services were very frequently demanded beyond that limit. For
a number of years he practiced alone, but afterwards became associated with
Dr. J. S. CARTER Sr., who died in 1852, and their extensive practice was
continued for many years.
In those early times roads were scarce, many of the trails were blazed on
trees and the country was largely marked by numerous cowpaths, with all of
which Dr. MOSGROVE was familiar. Physicians then went horseback, and he being
noted as a splendid horseman, rather enjoyed the long and sometimes rough
trips over the country, and sometimes he would hitch his horse in the woods
at night, rather than unduly tire his favored animal, taking his own needed
sleep on the ground.
Strong and robust, a picture of perfect health, and possessed of a kind and
affectionate disposition, his coming was hailed with delight by the sick,
who confided in his professional ability, and by the strong to whom he imparted
a share of pleasantry and good humor. He was temperate in all things and
never given to the drinking of ardent spirits even at a day when custom almost
demanded it. Called once to Circleville to assist in an important surgical
operation, as was the invariable custom then amongst surgeons, the decanter
was passed to everyone present before the operation was commenced, and as
stoutly as he was urged to drink so stoutly did he refuse, until he finally
compromised with the gentlemen by taking his first chew of tobacco from which
he circumstances he dated a modest habit of chewing, which he maintained
through life.
Indomitable courage and industry were remarkable traits of his character.
Whatever he undertook to accomplish he perseveringly pursued with all the
energy of a strong nature, and he was generally successful in his undertakings.
No storm, no event, nothing ever prevented his regular visitation of patients,
and no obstacle could successfully intervene between him and his professional
duty. A strongly defined sense of honor and the excellencies of old style
manners (now, unhappily, so nearly obsolete) were features of character that
marked him clearly as a courteous gentlemen, to whom acquaintances became
friends.
Some ten years ago Dr. MOSGROVE was remarked as a hale and hearty gentleman
who had preserved himself, and really looked twenty years younger than his
actual age. He met with an accident at that time, however, by which one of
his limbs was broken, and from that day he began to decline. For the past
three years he has been quite feeble, rallying at times sufficiently to go
about the city, and even enjoyed himself in intercourse with his friends.
He lived an active, steady, and consistent life, and died quietly and peacefully,
at his home, Wednesday, March 10, 1875, in his 85th year. The funeral services
was delivered by Rev. J. B. BRITTON, pastor of the Episcopal Church of this
city, of which Dr. MOSGROVE has long been a worthy member, and the interment
was conducted by the Raper Commandery, Knights Templar, in the presence of
a concourse of his friends, old and young, who had assembled to pay the last
tribute of respect and esteem to an old citizen, an honest man, and a worthy
gentleman. Submitted by Bill
