The following obituary was taken from a scrapbook; it most likely came from the Elnora
newspaper.
Obituary: August 19, 1921--Ethel M. Isenogle, daughter of Cyrus and Elizabeth Isenogle,
was born at Scotland, IN. on September 24, 1884 and departed this life at her home near
Newberry on August 19, 1921; age 36 years, 10 months and 20 days. On April 12, 1903 she
was united in marriage to Charles Q. Moore and to this union 8 children were born, all of
whom are living with the exception of the baby boy that died at birth and goes with the
mother. Those left are: Dola, Lucile, Wilma, Helen, Kathryn, John Cy and Harold W. These
with the husband are left to mourn their loss. She also leaves her father and mother, two
sisters, Mrs. Ed Skomp and Mrs. Charles Jamison, and three brothers, Alf, Win and John. A
sister preceded her in death. Ethel was a kind and good neighbor; always interested in
those things which were for the betterment of the community and home life. She was a
faithful and devoted wife. Hers was a life of such usefulness as is hard to measure. But
the biggest and !
best of all was the love, the care, the kindness and untiring patience which she always
exemplified in the management and control of her children.
"Hers was such hands--Though hearts were weary and sad. These patient hands kept
toiling on. That children might be glad."
"She made no special bid for fame. She dreamed no greater dream than this. The
splendor of an honest name. The joy within her baby's kiss. No deed of glory marked
her years. But as she lived from day to day, she quickly dried her loved ones tears and
brushed a lot of care away."
If she had worked upon marble it would perish, if it had been brass time would efface it;
if it had been temples they would crumble into the dust; but she has worked upon the
immortal minds of her children and imbued them with high principles, with the just fear of
God, and love for their playmates, and she has engraved on their hearts something that
will brighten throughout eternity.
"The bravest battle that ever was fought!"
Shall I tell you where and when? On the maps of the world you will find it not. Twas
fought by the mothers of men."
"Oh, spetious woman in a world of shame! With splendid and silent scorn, go back
to God as white as you came, the kingliest warrior born.)
The above obituary was read at the funeral which was held Sunday afternoon at Prairie
Chapel, southeast of Lyons, Reverend Ernest Roberts of Odon was in charge. Burial in the
adjoining cemetary.
