Mrs. B. Collins Moore died at her home on Orton Street Friday morning shortly before 5:00. The funeral was held from the family home Monday afternoon at 2:00 and was private. Rev. E.W. Davis had charge. The bearers were her four sons and two nephews. Interment was in Reynolds cemetery in the family lot.
Mrs. Moore was active in the affairs of the Methodist church, the Women's Relief Corps and other local organizations and her death is generally deplored.
Angella L. Goff was born at Elyria, Ohio, Jan, 29, 1848. When four years old with her parents she moved to Michigan locating in Grand Rapids Township, Kent County. After acquiring an education and reaching young womanhood she taught school. Her first school in this section was in what used to be known as the Bradley district near the Myron Abels farm in Ensley Township. After the Block schoolhouse was built in Dist. No.3 (fractional) comprising territory in Pierson, Reynolds, Ensley, and Croton townships, Miss Goff was invited to teach the first school there and did so successfully. In that neighborhood she became acquainted with B. Collins Moore and on Nov. 20, 1867 they were married at a Methodist parsonage in Grand Rapids by Rev. A.J. Eldred. For the next two years they lived at Walled Lake, Oakland County, where Mr. Moore's parents resided. Their first child was born at Walled Lake. In 1869 they moved to their farm on Sec. 36, Croton Township, where with the exception of one other son their children were born and the family reared. In 1906 Mr. and Mrs. Moore came to Howard City to reside and three years later sold their farm.
Mrs. Moore was naturally a literary woman. She loved the best in literature and art and possessed a remarkable memory. Early in life she became a Christian and a member of the Methodist church. Active in the affairs of the church and devoted to every movement looking toward the improvement of her community, she ever emulated charitable principles and had a broad outlook upon life.
For many years she was one of the guiding spirits of the Ensley Grange, serving as lecturer and secretary with rare faithfulness and ability. Only a short time ago she retired as treasurer of the M.E. Ladies Aid Society.
The following children survive to mourn the loss of a loving and loved mother, who graced the home circle ideally as an exemplar of the virtues of faith, purity, loyalty, and kindness: Willard G., of Quincy, Dr. Norman H. and Fred R. of Lansing, Mrs. Leona Blanding of Greenville. Mabel I. and Jacob J. of this city. The youngest son, Albert C. died Mar. 8, 1904, and the mother was laid at rest beside his grave in the family lot in Reynolds cemetery. She is also survived by 22 grandchildren.
Mr. Moore has lost a companion who was a helpmate in every sense. No one can fathom the depth of their love for each other, none better appreciates the noble qualities and influence of the life so beautifully lived than the husband now bereft.
During several months of patient suffering every care that loved ones could give was hers. The day before her death she lapsed into a state of coma and just as the dawn betokened the advent of a new day, June 12, her earthly life was closed and she quietly passed away. Her life was beautiful in that it was unselfishly devoted to the service of others. Death came as a blessed benediction to a chapter well written.
