She was a seamstress at Martha Brown Co. Services will be at 10 a.m. Friday at Cavanagh & Schueneman Funeral Home, where visitation will be from 6 to 8 tonight. Burial will be in West Jersey Cemetery in West Jersey.
Note: There appears to be a mistake in this obituary. Nola's father was not Tom Moss. That was her brother. I have been told that her father was William Alexander Moss. Here is a message about this:

Dave,
I'm sorry the same info keeps getting sent to you. Don't know how that happens. As far as Nola's obit....her father was William Alexander Moss. Tom was her brother. I have the 1920 census for Allen Co. Kansas. Nola was just over 3 years and Tom was 11...
Thanks,
Stacy Bodine
