Harriet R. Johnson was born January 16, 1842, at Drakeville, New Jersey. July 5, 1859 she was united in marriage with Isaac B. MOSHURE. In December, 1875, they came to Wisconsin and began the arduous task of making a home in the wilderness. Mrs. MOSHURE was the mother of thirteen children, eleven of whom-four daughters and seven sons-survive her. An energetic, industrious woman, her home and her family composed her world. To her friends she was ever the same true and steadfast friend, and there are many to testify to the hearty good cheer with which she welcomed them and the eagerness with which she tried to make their stay pleasant and enjoyable. Especially welcome were the young people, the friends of her children. A great lover of the beautiful, Mrs. MOSHURE found time amid her manifold duties and cares to surround her home with flowers. Her health had not been good for some years, and of late she had suffered greatly. All that medical skill and loving care and constant watchfulness could do has been done to lessen her sufferings. Though she had been failing for several months, yet the end came suddenly and the children and grandchildren who were summoned from Necedah arrived too late to be recognized: while the son who came from Chicago found his mother prepared for burial, when he reached the old home. The funeral services were at the house, Rev. SEARLES of Necedah, officiating. Mother is dead! How chill the sound, How quiet seems the world around. And, oh, how lonely is the day Since mother, dear, has passed away. L. H. N. School Reports Report of Arkdale school for the term ending March 5, 1897.
