Moffitt, Mrs. Ruth (nee Harrison) In Madison county, Iowa, Mrs. Ruth Moffitt, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Harrison of this place. She was born Nov. 18th, 1844, in Peoria county, Ill., where she resided until Oct. 1870, when in company with her now bereaved husband, she removed to her late residence in Iowa. She was married Feb. 21, 1866. She had been an acceptable member of the M. E. Church since 1863, when she made a public profession of religion under the preaching of W. J. Beck, the present pastor of the M. E. church of this place. During her last sickness she expressed anxiety for the prosperity of the church; and how if opportunity should serve, she would like to be at religious meetings again. Her mind was deranged most of the time during her last sickness, which was derangement of the spine, terminated upon the brain. Yet her letters to her parents and friends after going to Iowa, and the manner of her life before, give them the best of assurances that she has gone to rest. She leaves to mourn a husband, two children, her aged parents with brothers and sisters. Her parents arrived at her residence in time to see her before her death. Her funeral (which was attended by a very large concourse of people) was preached by Rev. Mr. Miller, of the Missionary Baptist church, whose words of counsel and comfort were very appropriate indeed.
