TAYLORSVILLE'S OLDEST CITIZEN PASSES AWAY
"Uncle Bud" age 85, dies after an illness of about four weeks.
Mr. C. M. Moose died at the home of his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Nora Moose on Monday morning March 30th, after an illness of about four weeks.
Mr. Moose was in his 86th year at the date of his death. He was a carpenter by trade, and from early manhood until a few years ago worked regularly at this trade in Taylorsville and elsewhere.
When a young man he married Miss Hattie Little of Catawba County, and to this union two children were born, a son, Sip Moose and a daughter, Mamie Moose, now Mrs. Ras Sloan of Greensboro. His son married Miss Nora Icenhour, and after his death, Mr. C. M. Moose made his home with her.
Mr. Moose was a man of few words, but of strong convictions. He spoke no evil of his fellow man.
In his labors and rest he observed regular habits, early to work and after the day's labor was finished he was early at home with his family.
He had been a member of the Men's Bible Class of the Presbyterian Church for a number of years and when able was regular in his attendance and influenced other to attend. His presence will be greatly missed in the class as well as in the home and in the town.
Mr. Moose had many friends, as we evidenced by the numbers who attended his funeral and the floral tributes.

Many people now live in homes planned and built by this veteran carpenter and builder, but he has now retired, his labors are completed and he has gone to joining is wife familiarly known as Miss Hattie, and his son "Sippie", and to dwell in a house not made with hand, eternal in heavens.
