Family left to struggle after mother’s death
A Moore family on South Ninth Street faced ruin as illness and poverty leave a widowed father and five children, ages 14 to 18 months, with community aid keeping them from want while relatives and locals donate carriages and a hearse for the mother's funeral. the eldest boy may take the baby, but other kin must find placements or risk county care. The town’s electric plant expansion, Barrell Seed Catalogue release, and local notices about trains, law, and commerce follow in this periodical page.
