Their are many errors in this obituary, some names are spelled wrong, and the name Mose, which is a nickname is used instead of his real name. The copy that I have, now in my possession has dark spots on it and is hard to read in certain spots. I copied it from an original copy, in the possession of my grandmother, Marthell Elizabeth Lofton Cook.
