Mrs. 0. H. Meses Goes to Her Reward Full of Years and Honors. After a lingering illness, borne with fortitude and resignation, the spirit of Mrs. Octavia Barby Moses passed Thursday eve from this scene of earthly suffering into the rest eternal of the great Beyond. "Life's race well run. Life's work well done, Life's crown well earned." A noble, charitable woman has gone from our midst, one who possessed vthV'esteenr^smd-higbest-iegard of the entire community. The poor have lost .a friend whom they cannot re? place; ber open banded generosity was bestowed wherever sorrow or poverty existed irrespetive of creed, and her bounty was given in such a modest, un? ostentatious manner that often the r?? cipients knew not to whom they were indebted for gifts that lightened the burden of life. No memory dims the luster of this life just ended, which extended beyond the limit of three score and ten. Who can measure its influence? As wife, mother, friend and neighbor her example will be a beacon light to those who come after and, "Her children rise up and call her blessed." The community in which she lived for so many years attest her loss by universal regret, and her name will ever be honored by those whose privi? lege it was to know her. The rarest handiwork of God-"a noble woman, nobiy planned ""bas won the reward of a* life well spent, and, having fought the fight bravely, finally "Sank down among the lillies with folded wings to rest." Mrs. Octavia Moses was a daughter : of Mrr Isaac Barby, of Charleston, a celebrated educator. She would nave completed her 81st year Febru? ary 6th next.

Moses, Julian Barby, Walter Harby and Henry Harby. survive her. She also leaves 39 grand children and 9 great grand chidren. Mrs. Moses was a resident.of Sumter for about 60 years, and was one of the strongest adherents to the Confederacy. It was mainly through her*efforts that the monument to the memory of the Confederate dead, that now adorns the Graded School square, was erect? ed. This was, probably, the first monument erected in the South to honor the memory of those who gave their lives for their country's cause. This was one of the many noble acts that characterized the life of one of Carolina's most honored daughters. The funeral services were held at the Synagogue at 4 o'clock Friday. Mr. A. K.
