"Edward Bruce Moffitt (son of James W.; grandson of Lawrence W.; great-grandson of Nathan; great-great-grandson of Hugh; great-great-great-grandson of Robert) was born near Winigan, Sullivan County, MO on 24 July 1872, and died November 8. 1963. He was buried in the Price Cemetery near Winigan, MO, along with most of the elder Moffitts.
He married in Green City, Sullivan County, MO, on 22 Oct 1895, Lillie Ann Reed who was born 25 March 1875 and died 26 Jan 1943. She lived in a sod house as a young girl.
Edward was a par-time farmer. He was also a storekeeper in a general merchandise business in the towns of Reger and Mystic. At the time of his retirement, he had a hardware store in Sumner, MO, which he closed in 1929. Edward and Lillie lived in Green City, MO. From about 1935 until about 1960, they lived on a farm near Sumner with their son, Ernest.
Edward was known to his neighbors as 'the old gentleman' for his honesty and gentlemanly instincts. A story goes that one outside his hardward store in Sumner, an inebriated man was viciously beating a horse tied at the rack. Edward grabbed a new whip off his wall and rushed outside saying, 'I'll horsewhip YOU sir, if you don't stop that!' He was a kind man, who, with his wife, herself sternly upright, reared 6 children who never had a blemish on their reputation. He would correct his grown, middle-aged sons for swearing and himself was content with 'Dag-Blame'! {Bruce William Moffitt}
