If not much fame, which I
certainly did not care for, we
did have a colorful and pictures
que career. In this The Charlotte
Observer was right. 1 worked on
many of the largest and most
influrntal newspaMrs in the
.flO^miry, including The New York
World, The Pittsburgh Post-Ga
zette and the Pittsburgh Leader
which was then owned and op

Moore, who was the husband of
Lillian Russell.

From Montana we moved over to

tiring of the big city newspaper
business and wanting to get a-
way from what little fame we
had gained as a newspaper cru

right, we suddenly left it all and
came back South where I had
always said I “belonged.” ■
I always wanted "Mother”, as
I always called my wife, to share
in anything that came to me.
And she did. But we did not get
completely away from fame or
plaudits, for in the death of
“Moth«” in April the Congres
sional Beewd of Washington, D.
C., which has a world-wide cir
culation, picked up the little
tribute paid to “Mother” and
spread it throughout most of the
world. But Mother has seemed to

IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES
Thursday, October 21, 1966
Mr. Dmm: Mr. Speaker, the
following magnificent article
was written by a lifelong friend,
Colonel John Allyn Cheshire. It
is a moving reaffirmation of
As I look around me now in
my despair and doubt, I know
all that is or was or ever can
be is the handiwork of God. He
is my father and I will yet go
on trusting Him, biB why did
He fail me now when I needed
Him so much, when Mother, as
I always called her, wanted so
much to get well and come back
home because she said, “I need
Daddy, and he needs me.”
And she prayed that she
might come back home to me,
but again God did not answer
her prayer. And after kissing me
firmly she breathed just twice
and^ gently died.
rVE NEVER felt I needed a
written convenant with God.
Why should I seek the assurance
of any living man that the wis
dom, love and power of my
heavenly Father would ever fail
me? In His divine wisdom He
did fail me when I needed Him
most. But 1 accept Hia. wisdom.
I saw Him last night in the
brilliant stars through my tears:
I knew He was up tkera guiding
us all; and 1 saw Him in my
loneliness in the daybreak this
morning.
My house was home for Moth
er and me. Now it is just an

I noticed a large wreath with

my tall and strong sOn, “Son,

areys loved that etdor so much.
It was always her favorito.”
My son answered me with,
*'Dad> she does see them, she
does see them.” What, a beauti
ful faith my boy has. I think
now I’ll soon understand.
I stepped lightly into her hos
pital room the day before she
went home. The nurse was ad
justing something about her
neck. When she had finished,
not knowing I - was standing
there at the room entrance, she
bent down and kissed Afother’s
forehead and said gently, “You
Iqveable little thing.”
Then I walked in and she said
to me, “Everybody here in the
hospital lovM her so much.”

and now she’s with God. »
