Mrs. W. J. Loper
Emma Elizabeth Moseley was born in Bib county, Ga., Feb. 28, 1855 and died March 24,1903, (Cemetery book Vol. 2 has March 4, 1903) at her home in Athens, Texas, after an illness of two weeks. About 1879 she moved to Texas, having previously married George Saxon in Taylor county, Ga. She was left a widow to W. J. Loper, who is left in sorrow by her death. This union was blessed with five children also.
Sister Loper was for years a member of the Baptist church but joined the Methodist to be with her husband. She had faith and love, and rejoiced to do God's work at home and at church. She met death without murmuring, without fear, With her mind clear she called for her husband and children, told them "good bye." When too weak to speak she pointed upward as a last message. A precious memory, a bright hope of reunion, a sainted one. "We shall meet to part, no, never.
