Moore - Eva Donovan
Source: Crawfordsville Weekly Journal Friday, 27 January 1899
May Eva Donovan was born Aug. 7, 1870, and was the eldest of eight children of J. H. and Ella Donovan. She was married to George Moore, May 1, 1895, and died Jan. 1, 1899, at her home in Danville, Ill.
Being the oldest she was looked to by her brothers and sisters as a guide and her life was such that she was a noble guide. Uniting with the M. E. Church in her youth, she was a devout member all her life, never shirking her duty in any way. She was always obedient to her parents and devoted to her Savior. She was loved by all who knew her.
Her daily life was one grand example for others and one her companions were not ashamed to follow. She was a devoted wife and mother to her husband and baby boy, who with her father, mother, three sisters and three brothers will ever mourn her death. But dear friends, take her loving life, her dying testimony, her willingness and readiness to go at her Master’s call, follow her life, looking only to Christ as she did, and it will be a short time only till you may meet her again to part no more. - thanks so much to "S" for typing so many of these obits in the late 1900s - you rock
