Wife of Robert L Moore
*Obituary
Fayetteville Democrat
Friday, June 11, 1886
MOORE, Martha Ellen SANDERS - Mrs. Martha Ellen Moore, wife of Robt. L. Moore, was born in Washington Co., Ark. March 13, 1868, married March 13, 1885 and died June 3, 1886 after a week's illness. She professed faith in Christ about four years ago in the Methodist church at Prairie Grove, lived a consistent christian and died in the assurance of a better life beyond. She called her husband, parents and friends around her bed, told them she was going to die, gave directions in regard to her funeral and burial, requested that her sister take her two little children and deliberately bade them good-bye. She was the fifth one of the same family connection who have died of the same disease within the two months past, namely, her grandmother, Mrs. Moore, her aunt, Mrs. Marrs, her brother, Isom Sanders, and her little niece, Alex Sanders' daughter. She was happy in death and said she heard the sweetest of music. Our loved ones are showing us how to live and how to die. May our Father help us to be ready. J.A. Walden.
