Following are 2 newspaper articles included in the file.

Died. On Friday, July 26th, 1889, after a long life of usefulness, and exhibiting the christian graces before a dying world, the Master called Sister Mary A. Moore to Himself, where she will meet with her Saviour and the loved ones, of whom she so often spoke and with the the deepest feeling, weeping as she talked of Jesus and his love Sister Moore was in her 77th year, and had been a member of the Baptist Church for 50 years. She leaves 6 living children, all of whom are members of the church, and entertain the hope of meeting the departed mother in glory. While the church loses one of its purest members, the community a kind neighbor, and the children a devoted mother, yet she has gained a victory over Death, the Christian's rest, and a home in Heaven, to which she so often spoke of going. Farewell, precious friend, sister and mother, till the glorious morning of the Resurrection when we will all meet again.
