Death of Mrs. M. F. Moll.

The death of Mrs. Melissa F. Moll occurred Friday morning, September 3, at 3:30 at the  hospital, Kansas City, at the age of 60 years. The body was brought back home, West Santa Fe street, and the funeral service held Sunday afternoon at 3, Rev. Scrivner preaching the service. Burial was made in the family lot in the Olatlhe cemetery.

Mrs. Moll was born June 21, 1860, on the home farm, five miles north west of Olathe. She lived here and attended school at Twin Springs, and was married  to Wm. Moll, October 16, 1881, when the residence was made on the farm, five miles due west of Olathe. until moving into Olathe several years ago.

She is survived by three sons, Guy W., Leavenworth; Roy W. and Otto E., Olathe and one daughter, Mrs. Hattie Spaulding, Kansas City. A brother and five sisters also survive. Her husband died in August, 1913.

She had been a member of the Methodist church from childhood, was active in all church and Sunday school work, and was rarely ever found outside of her pew on Sunday morning. She was also a member of the W. R. C had filled most of its chairs and was very thorough in her work, as well as in the Western Star Rebekah lodge, of which she had been a member a number of years. It was characteristic of her to do thoroughly any work or duty assigned.

 As a wife she was a true helpmeet and faithful, always; as a mother, no sacrifice was too great that her children  might enjoy the fruits of right teaching and right living; as a neighbor, she was congenial and the home was a favorite gathering place in that vicinity; as a Christian woman, she truly exemplified the teachings of the Master. She was kindly, gentle in her demeanor, a woman good and true. It will be a long while before Mrs. Moll is forgotten.
