Their .nephew, Igroy Marose of Chicago, was among the graduates. The news of the death on Thursday, June 6th, of Dr. Roberta Lee Moore at her lovely© home, "Hilltop," near Belmont, California, came as a shock and surprise to her numerous friends in Highland Park where she lived for many years until her recent removal to California. In the heart of everyone who knew Dr. Moore or was fortunate enough to call her friend there must be a gense of â€"personal loss as well as inâ€" tense regret at her passing. Dr. Moore has not been wellâ€" for two years but kept on bravely and unâ€" complainingly to the very end. ~Her wish was to die in service, and it was realized to the utmost. In her profession she gave of herâ€" self unselfishly and unreservedly. Her days were filled with the beauties of life and in the knowledge of duty well done came her pleasure. She was the sort of, woman to whom people«oved to carry their burdens and it was part of herexperienceâ€"to have burâ€" dens of various kinds laid upon her. All through her life she carried many responsibilities which she never shirkâ€" ed, beingâ€"guided by great principles. Her work is finished, but who can gage the influence of the many years of her life when she gave of herself without stint that others might beneâ€" fit? â€" Her life has counted and still counts, we shall miss the service but can ~praise it and love it and. honor it.
