Moose, a native of Alexander county but for fifteen years a resident of Mooresville until the recent past was found dead in the woods near his home on the old T. H. Williams farm in the lower end of the county Tuesday morning. Mr. Moose had been in poor health for recent years being a victim of cancer. He was a brick mason by trade but was forced to give up that work on account of his declining health and recently moved to the country. He left his home Monday afternoon to look after a quantity of herbs and roots that be had gathered with a view to taking them to Statesville the next day. He had carried severa1 sacks of Jerusalem oak seed out near the road and had presumably returned for others. It was understood that he was to build a fire and remain in the woods Monday night in order to get his wares together for an early start next morning. A Mr. Sherrill was to call for him at a point near Jake Freezes' but as Mr. Moose failed to show up, a search was made. He was found in a sitting posture as if he had attempted to rest his head on a sack of seeds. He evidently died without a struggle, from heart affection. Deceased was probably 69 years of age. He is survived by his widow and the following children: Mrs. Andrew Hager, Mrs. Marion Hager, and Mrs. Alice McAllister of Lincoln County; Mrs. N. E. Honeycutt of Mooresville; Mrs. Lucy Taylor of North Iredell; Jerry of Tampa, FL ; Henry Moose lived at his father's home; and Mrs. Della Sherrill of Davidson township. One brother and one sister also survive. They are J A Moose and Mrs. Cynthia Ann Lowrance, of Charlotte.       Laura died 02 Feb 1933 at the age of 67.  Her Death Certificate shows her name as "Laura Anna Moowe" and that she was living in the township of Catawba Springs, in Lincoln County, NC.  It shows her birth date as "May 12, 1865" and her death date as "Feb 2, 1933".  She was born in Alexander County, NC.  She is a "widow" and her husband's name was "J. H. Moose".  Her father was "James Leslie" who was born in Iredell County and her mother was "Sallie Fink" - also born in Iredell County.     Death Certificate       Laura and Jacob were buried in the Old Williamson Chapel United Methodist Church Cemetery in Iredell County, NC.           Sources: Ancestry.com Find-a-Grave - CLICK HERE         If you have additional photos and information on Laura Anna Leslie, please contact me.
