Aunt Moll, as she was lovingly called by all her friends, has been in failing health for a number of years and will be greatly missed by all who new her and loved her. She leaves to mourn her departure three nieces, Mrs. Frona Mitchell of Murray, Mrs. Edith Northrup of Burlington, Ia., and Mrs. Rose Agans of Albia; five nephews, Oda and Perry Cooper of Truro, Dave, Emerson and Lloyd Woodard of Loveland, Col., also one sister in law, Mrs. Retta Cooper of Truro and one brother in law Arison Woodard of Loveland, Colo., besides other relatives and a wide circle of Friends. She has gone to join the blest, In the realms beyond the sky, She has left this gloomy earth, For a brighter home on high. Long and patiently she suffered, Till the boon she craved was given, She has gone from friends on earth To join the ones in Heaven. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. Samuel Howe of Truro and interment was made in the Field cemetery.
