Mrs. Christine Moore Edwards, 21, Dies After Birth of Second Child, Feb. 12, 1926

Dies in Park View Hospital

Mrs. Christine Moore Edwards, age 21, journeyed to that desired home above when the death angel took her from us December 31st, 1925. A prolonged illness ensued after the birth of Linwood Ludolphe on December 9th. Several days before her death she was placed in Park View, but the skilled doctors, prayers and willing hands of friends could not alter the will of the Almighty One, who needed her worse than we did.

Christine became the wife of Lincoln G. Edwards on August 16, 1923, and the happy pair had made their home in Seven Paths community.

Mrs. Edwards leaves to mourn her loss a husband and two sons, Eddie Gray, age 12 months, and Linwood Ludolphe, only three weeks old. She leaves a mother and father, Mr. and Mrs. E.B. Moore, also four sisters and three brothers, besides a host of relatives and friends. They all have sympathetic prayers of the entire community, and may God help each of them to join her when their life on earth shall cease.

The interment was made in the church cemetery at Cypress Chapel, which church Mrs. Edwards had joined at the age of 12. The funeral services were conducted by Rev. J.C. McGregor, with Rev. J.A. McIver, pastor of the church, assisting.
