“Leading
Citizen of Reardan Dies. Although
of more than ordinary physical structure and possessed of vigorous mental power,
the life of M Moriarity, one of the great men of Lincoln County, failed to
withstand an attack of acute rheumatism lasting several weeks and made its exit
from this earth Tuesday night, leaving hundreds of afflicted and mourning
friends. Having come to Reardan 22
years ago, Mr Moriarity was one of the builders of this section and never failed
to exercise his powers for the advancement of the county. In this he was aided
by a strong executive ability and a commanding influence that placed him at the
head of the many great enterprises at which he directed his attention. His death
is not only an irrepairable loss to his family but to his city, county and
state. In and around his home town he was a main stay and without his
forethought many of its lasting benefits would have never been realized. Mr
Moriarity came to this state from MN. At one time he acted as postmaster of
Reardan and has held many positions of public trust, including a service of
several years as mayor of his town. In business affairs he rose to the top and
financially he met with success. He was president of the Reardan Exchange Bank,
pres. of the Washington Grain & Milling Co, and vice-pres. of the Chamokane
Lumber Co. In the first named institution, he held 155 out of 500 shares of
stock issued, besides owning a great deal of farm land and city property. He was
52 years of age and leaves a wife, Frances, and daughter, Ella. The funeral will
be held at Reardan Friday morning under the direction of the Odd Fellows of
which order he was a faithful and active member.” (Dav. Tribune: 6-29-1911)
