She has resided on their home farm north west of Protection for several years past. Mrs. Moore was but in the prime of life when the call came from the Great Leveler and she passed into the dominion of Death beyond the river. She leaves a husband and four little daughters as well as parents and brothers and sisters to mourn her loss, To the husband and daughters the loss is indeed a great bereavement and the sincerest bereavement and sincerest sympathy is extended them. Interment will be made in the local cemetery.
