Pioneer Kansas Woman Bequeathes $5,000 to Local Institution

Mrs. Katie Bender Moore of Mount Hope, Kansas, who left $5,000 in her will to Bethel college, is shown above with her husband Mr. John F. Moore. Mrs. Moore came with her parents to Kansas in 1882 and five years later married Mr. Moore, the son of a family who had also settled at Mount Hope, Kansas. A bronze plate in memory of these two pioneers will be placed in the entrance hall of the $100,000 Memorial building now under construction at Bethel college. A memorial biography of Mrs. Moore is printed in this issue of the Review. It is the third of a series of such life stories prepared by the college.
