Obituary
Jane, wife of Allen Moore, died May 21st, 1885. She was born in Cumberland county, Kentucky, February
17th 1819; was married to Allen Moore December 29th, 1839, and moved to Warren county, Illinois, in the
year 1846. She was the mother of eleven children, nine of whom survive her, with their father, to
mourn their loss. She united with the Methodist church when young, and honored the profession until her
death. The funeral discourse by J. W. Bolton, of Monmouth, in which he gave an excellent exhortation to
the large assembly who heard him. So death has entered that family and taken away one of its main
stays. Death is an enemy, the last enemy to be destroyed. Sin entered into the world and death by sin,
so death passed upon all men, for all have sinned. Death will continue its work until Christ comes the
second time and destroys him who has the power of death. So the true christian's hope centers in the
second coming of Christ - the resurrection out from among the dead, the establishment of the kingdom of
God, as given by His prophets, Christ, and His apostles, as recorded in the Old and New Testaments.
Mrs. Tinkham and Mrs. Stradley, daughters of Allen Moore, live in Nebraska, but were present at the funeral
and will stay and make a few visits among near relatives and special friends.
