Death of Mrs. Lucien Moore. It will be remembered that we stated last week that Dr W.R Grissom had accompanied Mrs. Lucien Moore to Louisville, the latter to be operated upon for cystic tumors. Mrs. Moore stood the trip to the city very nicely and Friday morning she went under the knife, the physician being Dr. W. H Wathen, who removed two tumors, the operation being very successful. Dr. Grissom returned home Saturday night and Sunday morning the news of Mrs. Moore’s death reached Columbia. She lived about thirty hours after the operation. Besides the tumors Mrs. Moore was otherwise seriously afflicted, and it would have been impossible for for her to have lived but a few weeks without an operation. The operation was the last resort to save life. The remains were embalmed and shipped to this country Monday morn ing, and in the afternoon all that was mortal of the deceased was buried in Pleasant Hill cemetery, after religious exercises Mrs. Moore was a daughter of Marion Edrington, who died many years ago. She was also a niece of Mr. Gaither Bryant, besides she had many other relatives in Adair county. A large circle of friends attended the funeral exercises and burial, everybody in the deepest sympathy for the bereaved husband and motherless little children. We learn from Mr. J. F. Montgom ery, who came into possession of the information by tradition, that the Mt. Gilead country, embracing a part of Green and Adair counties, once contain ed as citizens, who were farmers, traders, etc., the wealthiest men in all this section of country. Many of the wealthy families who resided in this locality, removed to Southern Ken tucky long before the war of the re bellion broke out. It is not likely that any of the heads of these families are now living. Mrs. Amanda Wallace, of Coburg, well known in Columbia, a very esti mable lady, left for Lebanon last Fri to be operated upon for appendicitis. Dr. McChord was down to see her a few days before her departure, telling her that an operation was the only relief. It is hoped by Mrs Wallace, many friends that the operation will be successful and that she will soon re cover her health. Mr. John Bell and family, of this place, will leave here today for Hunts ville, Ark. Mr. Bell leaves with the intention of coming back in about a year, but says something might turn up to cause him to remain permanently in Arkansas. Mr. Bell has a brother in Huntsville whom he has not seen for twenty-six years, and this trip is made principally to see and be with him for a few months.
