MOORE, CATHARINE E. - Memoriam - Catharine E. Moore, a notice of whose death appeared in the Union of the 15th inst., was endowed with rare qualities of both head and heart. At the age of sixteen she (one word unreadable) by the death of her mother, left in charge of a family of eight children. These she protected with tender care, and guided them to manhood and womanhood with the watchful solicitude of a loving mother. In her own family she was an example of patient endurance and of uncomplaining submission to the burdens and afflictions which so sorely and for so long a time weighed upon her. On the 23rd day of August, 1857, she was one of the twenty-seven persons who organized the 1st Christian Congregation of Troy, O., of which she remained as earnest and worthy member till a short time before her death, when, on her removal from her old home a letter of dismission and commendation was granted to her. All who knew Mrs. Moore knew her only to esteem her. Her life was above reproach, and her example was worthy imitation. The world, we think, cannot very well afford to lose her presence.
