OBITUARY: 

At the residence of her son, Hon. Isaac R. Moores, Monday evening Jan. 20, 1868, Mrs. Jane Moores, aged seventy-four years. Mrs. Moores had more than lived out her three score years and ten; surrounded by her children and their children, whose lives reflect the fidelity with which her life duties had been performed, old age crept upon her, and like a ripe sheaf gathered in due season, she went home to eternal rest. Blessed are the dead who died in the lord. The funeral was held at the M. E. Church on Wednesday, 22d, at 1 o’clock, p.m.
