Amy Jane Handshy Moore, 85, was born in Hancock County, Ohio, Aug. 19, 1862, and died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. Ben Roberts, April 8, 1948.

At the age of 16 years she went to Cherokee county, Kans., with her parents.

In 1891 she was married to James W. Moore who preceded her Jan. 16, 1932. To this union were born seven children: two having preceded her in death, two sons and three daughters survive her: Charley Moore of Clever, Clark Moore of Cassville, Mrs. Sylvia Achgill of Cherryvale, Kansas, Mrs. Merit Bolain of Bentonville, Ark., and Mrs. Ben Roberts of Spokane.

She moved to the Spokane community some 45 yeas ago and had lived there most of the time since.

Besides the children, she is survived by 19 grandchildren, 15 great-grandchildren and one great-great-grandchild; two sisters, Miss Sarah Handshy of Columbus, Kan., and Mrs. Anna Ball of McCune, Kansas.

She accepted Christ at an early age and was a devoted Christian, a loving mother and a true friend.

Funeral services were held at 2 o'clock Sunday in the Spokane Baptist church conducted by the pastor, Rev. Worth Caughron, with burial in the Highlandville cemetery under direction of the Maples Funeral Home of Clever.
