IN MEMORIAM
Mrs. C. G. Mooring, who after a brief illness, departed this life Tuesday, December 11, was born in Walker county, Texas, near the town of Huntsville, in 1847. The greater portion of her youth was spent in the town of Navasota, and there she resided after marriage until the family came to Temple. After several years spent here, the family moved to Mineral Wells, where residence was maintained a number of years and until after the death of her husband, when return was made to Temple, and the home was established with her daughter, Mrs. James Rudd, this period and until her death, extending over eight years.
Mrs. Mooring was member of First Baptist church of this city, and active in the duties of her affiliation as in her life. She was an enthusiastic member of the D. A. R., the U. D. C. and the D. R. T., these memberships connecting her with the old order of thhings since the foundation of country and state, and again in the partisanship which called for the sacrifices of life and treasures in fraternal strife, as in the foundation of Texas her people took prominent part, and as in the struggle for freedom her forbears had borne arms with distiction and honor.
Funeral services were conducted by Rev. B. W. Vining, pastor of Memorial Baptist Church, assisted by Rev. James E. Green, pastor of First Presybterian church. Many friends, old and new, attended the last services, and beautiful floral offerings spoke the language of love and of sorrow.
Mrs. Mooring is survived by three daughters: Mrs. J. C. Rudd of Temple, Mrs. J. Thomas Hall of Nacogdoches, Mrs. A. P. Moran, of San Antonio.
