MRS. EMMA MOSER

Emma Malinda (Wyss) Moser was born Oct. 29, 1894, two miles north of Kidron, Ohio where her parents lived on a farm for a number of years. In her youth she accepted Christ as her Saviour, and was received into the Salem Mennonite church Dec. 25, 1918.

She was united in marriage to Frank P. Moser by Rev. Adam Sommer. To this union were, born two sons and two daughters.

Her life was saddened by the death of her husband March 8, 1948. After the family home two miles south of Dalton was sold she became a resident of Wooster. For the past two years she had been in declining health, bearing her sufferings patiently until her sudden passing at the Community hospital.

She is survived by her aged father, John Wyss of Kidron; two sons, Willis of Jacksonville, Fla. and Earl of Wooster; two daughters, Hallie, Mrs. R. H. Fussel of Atlantic Beach, Fla., and Elsie of the home; three brothers, David of Orrville, Frank of Kidron, Calvin of Cleveland; four sisters, Mrs. Metta Nussbaum of Kidron, Mrs. Elmer Horst of Dalton, Mrs. Otto Lehman of Berne, Ind. and Mrs. Ray Moore of St. Louis, Mo.; and three grandchildren, who were all present at the funeral.

Funeral services were held Dec. 31 at the Christian and Missionary Alliance church at Orrville where she was a charter member and took active part in the various organizations. Burial was made in the Salem Mennonite cemetery.
