From Find A Grave contributor Judy Rausch Bradley:

The funeral of Mrs. Delia Moses, who died Tuesday at the hospital in Fond du Lac, was held this afternoon at two o’clock from Trinity church.  A private funeral service was held at the home at one o’clock.

The deceased was the only remaining sister of Mrs. F. C. Arnold.  The bereavement is especially sad to the family as Mrs. Colburn, a sister of Mrs. Arnold, passed away on April 19 and the child of the deceased passed away August 16.  Mrs. Moses leaves, besides a loving husband, D. S. Moses, an aged mother, an only sister, Mrs. F. C. Arnold of this city, and four brothers, Jacob Muth of Menominee, Chris Muth of Manitowoc, Gus and George Muth of Fond du lac.

Invitations Issued To The Dedication of a Crypt at Riverside Cemetery.

Invitations were issued by D.S. Moses, a former resident of Oshkosh, to the unveiling and dedication of a memorial to his dead wife.
 
The invitation reads: “Your presence is requested at the dedication of the memorial to Delia Muth Moses, Thursday afternoon, September 21 at one o’clock, eighteen hundred and ninety-nine, at Riverside cemetery, Oshkosh, Wisconsin.”

The memorial is unique and certainly quite original.  It is the form of a huge block of stone, with the receptacle hewn out for two caskets.  When it contains the bodies that are intended for it, it will be sealed.  The memorial stone was shipped into the city and allowed to remain under cover until the dedication which occurs Thursday.  It is said to be a stone of great beauty, appropriately carved and inscribed.

At the dedication, the body of Mrs. Moses will be placed in the receptacle.  The remains were recently exhumed and placed in a vault to await the arrival of the memorial.  The casket was opened and the body was found to be in remarkably state of preservation.

Mrs. Moses died a year ago this month.  It was a terrible blow to the husband who was most devoted and affectionate.  The gratification of his wife’s slightest wish was his greatest pleasure, and to this day his friends speak of the tenderness borne by Mr. Moses for his wife.  When she died, there was little wonder he set about to erect a suitable monument to his dead wife’s memory, and the memorial to be dedicated Thursday is the result of his planning.

A short time before the death of his wife, Mr. Moses erected a dwelling on Jefferson avenue, but the home was not destined to be occupied by the one for whom it was intended.   Mrs. Moses died, and the husband, who is a traveling salesman, calls no place home except where his beloved rests.
