ALPHA (NEED) MOFFET OBITUARY
Owen County Leader 2 Dec. 1915
Submitted by Peggy Adams
Alpha Need Moffet, wife of Clinton H. Moffett, and daughter of George and Jane Need, was born in Owen County on the farm which the parents now occupy, and departed this life on November 26, 1915 at 7 a.m. She was united in marriage with Clinton H. Moffett on September 8, 1912. To this union was born one child, Harold, who preceded his mother in death. This little rose-bud was not permitted to bloom here in this world of sorrow but 'Mamma and Baby' are reunited in that celestial City of God. Mrs. Moffett was the only daughter of Mr. And Mrs. Need and had every wish granted as far as it was possible to do so. She and her husband looked forward to a long and happy and prosperous life, but love blinds our eyes to God's ways on Saturday evening, November 19, she was removed from the home of her parents to the M. E. Hospital in Indianapolis, where everything that medical science and skill could do was done for her. She was a patient sufferer and perfectly resigned to the will of "Him who doeth all things well." She was converted at the age of 12 and united with the Methodist church at Pleasant Hill under the ministry of Rev. John Dyer and remained faithful to her vows. The funeral was conducted by Rev. Eugene Melvin, Pastor of Patricksburg circuit from the Baptist church at Coal City, on Sunday afternoon, at 3 p.m. November 28
