Obituary of Laura M. (Inman) Moulden

Mrs. Laura M. Moulden, wife of John Moulden, died at her home in the south part of town last Saturday morning after an illness covering many months. Death was due to cancer and to Bright’s disease.She was born in Martin County, not far from Scotland, June 2, 1877; died November 17, 1906, aged twenty-nine years, five months and fifteen days.She was one of seven children born to John and Catharine INMAN.

When she was but a small child her parents moved to Bloomfield and this continued to be her home until her death. On December 22, 1896, she was united in marriage to John (A.) Moulden, and two children – a son and a daughter — came to bless this union.

She became a member of the Baptist Church in 1894 and remained a devoted Christian, always willing to do her part in every good work, until the Master called her to her eternal home. And she will be greatly missed, not only to the family circle but in the church as well.

She was a woman of many excellent qualities — kind and generous and devoted to her family. And she had made a large circle of warm friends who mourn her untimely death.

Besides her husband and a son, Everett, aged nine years, and a little daughter, Vonda, aged two years, she leaves a mother, Mrs. Catherine Inman, four brothers and one sister and a host of friends to mourn her loss.

The funeral services were held from the Baptist Church Sunday afternoon at 2:30, conducted by the Rev. J. B. COBB. In the presence of a large assemblage of friends, and the remains were laid to rest in the Bloomfield cemetery.

The community extends its deepest sympathy to the family in the hour of their bereavement.

I wish by this means to express by heartfelt thanks to the neighbors and friends for their kindly assistance and their sympathy during the illness and death of my beloved wife, Laura M. Moulden. JOHN MOULDEN.
