SAMUEL T. MOSS IS DEAD
END COMES TO PIONEER RESIDENT OF COUNTY

Death was due to Bright's Disease.

It was after the Civil War that the latter required what is known as the Moss Farm home, seven miles southeast of this city, which was owned by the son at the time of his death.

Mr. Moss had always engaged in farming. During the period the family resided in Kansas he was a member of the Kansas State Militia. The family is one of the most widely known in the eastern part of Jasper county and the name, with its association with the Moss Springs Picnic Association Grounds, is widely known throughout several counties.
Funeral services for Mr. Moss will be held at Center church, one mile east from the Moss home, at 2:30 o'clock Wednesday afternoon. The Rev W. E. Ballinger of Kansas City will have charge. Burial will be in Center church cemetery. Provided by I Remember When
