MRS. CARRIE MOORE DIED IN LAGRANGE LAST THURSDAY AT THE AGE OF 86 YEARS; WAS
FORMER ROANOKE RESIDENT

The sad death of Mrs. Carrie Moore occurred at noon Thursday. Mrs. Moore was
born and raised in Troup County and for the past thirty years she has lived in
LaGrange. She was the wife of Mr. S.W. Moore, who was in the grocery business
up to the time of his death several years ago. Since that time Mrs. Moore has
lived with her daughter Mrs. Maggie Fleeth on Ridley Ave. Mrs. Moore had
reached the age of 86 years. She leaves behind her many friends to whom she
had endeared herself by her noble and unselfish bearing on all occasions, and
who are grieved at her passing. There is a measure of consolation in the
secure knowledge that her gentle spirit has gone to the Eternal City, there to
meet the loved ones who have gone before.

Nothing too good can be said of this most loved woman; only that we could live
the life that she lived, and be what she has been. For over half a century
she was constantly doing christian work and was a member of the Methodist
church.

She leaves behind one daughter Mrs. Maggie Fleeth, and two grandchildren, Mr.
Paul Fleeth and Mrs. Austin Cook, who have the sympathy of everybody. The
funeral services will be held at the home of Mrs. Fleeth on Friday at 2:30
p.m. The LaGrange Reporter

Mrs. Moore lived in Roanoke a few years with her daughter Mrs. Fleeth and was
esteemed by all her Roanoke friends as an elect christian lady.
