While having retired from active life for the past few years, Mr. Moonshower was apparently still in good health until last Thursday when he became ill and sank gradually until the end. He was 76 years of age. Henry Moonshower was born in Stark county, Ohio, October 15, 1847. He moved with his family to Fulton county, Indiana, early in life and has since made his home on the Moonshower farm near Athens. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Mary MOONSHOWER, two sons, Lewis MOONSHOWER, Erie Agent at Athens, and Ralph MOONSHOWER, of Huntington, and one daughter, Miss Clara MOONSHOWER, of South Bend. Funeral services from the farm home Thursday morning at 10:30 o'clock, Rev. Noah McCOY in charge. Burial at Rochester. ----- Published in The Rochester Sentinel Friday, August 17, 1923 In the midst of the sunshine of life comes shadows; when hope should have sat queen of all, today there seems to be but disappointment. To our mortal vision there seems but despair, darkness, but we ask ourselves, is this so? and out of the surroundings that are weighted with our many questions a most beautiful ray of divinest light shines for us all. . . . . While relatives and friends have sustained a loss almost beyond compensation there is restored to heaven that which is heaven's own. So passed the life of Henry MOONSHOWER, son of Benjamin and Catherine MOONSHOWER. He was born in Stark County, Ohio, Oct. 15, 1847. In the year, 1855, he immigrated to this county with his parents being but eight years of age, where he grew to manhood. On November 4, 1869, he was united in marriage with Mary BECKER. About thirty-five years ago, they moved on the farm where he passed away. Here by diligence and perseverence and the help of his faithful companion he hewed out of the trees and stumps a home where he reared his family. After an illness of short duration, while accompanied with much pain, he was very patient, while life slowly ebbed away and on the evening of August 13, 1923, he passed quietly away, aged 75 years, 9 months and 28 days. He was of a family of ten children. SOURCE: Fulton County Indiana Obituaries - 1923 by Jean C. and Wendell C. Tombaugh
