Ida Ary Moss (1861-1900)

Death Notice: June 28, 1900

At this writing we with regret and sorrow chronicle the death of one of our warmest friends and kindest neighbors. After a very brief sickness, Mrs. Ida Moss departed this life at her home, on Wednesday morning.

As a friend, neighbor, and worker in church, no one of our society will be missed more. Her life was one that speaks for itself. She was a friend in time of need; her light heart and smiling face was at all times enough to drive all gloom away. To know her was but to love and respect her. Her life is one that may be a good example to follow.

She leaves a husband and seven children.

We extend our sympathy to them all, and especially to Minnie, who necessarily assumes great responsibilities in trying to fill her mother's place in the home.
