- DEATH OF WM. H. [sic] MOORE
William M. Moore was born in Loudon county, Virginia, Feb. 3. 1837 and departed this life at his home in Americus March 15, 1913, at the age of 76 years, 1 month and 12 days.
While still in youth he moved with his parents to Ohio. He was a soldier in the civil war, having served his country well and faithfully for one year. He enlisted as a private in Company D 148th regiment of the Ohio volunteers.
At the age of 26 years he moved to Missouri. He was married to Miss Ann Cassity on Sept. 23, 1866, who survives him. To this union were born four children: Mrs. Cora Lynne Correll and Mrs. Effie Belle Brickell who still survive him, and who live in this immediate vicinity. Bertie Elizabeth and Lillie Myrtle died in infancy.
Mr. Moore moved from Missouri to a farm near Toledo in Chase County in 1873, where he resided for twenty-five years, when he moved to this city in 1898, having been a resident of our city nearly fifteen years.
His sickness was of several months' duration, the last four he was confined pretty closely to the house. He was patient and uncomplaining through all his suffering. He was loved in the home and in the community, always loyal to the right and stood out manfully for all that was honest, good and just. He was a member of the U. P. church of Americus, and all his life had been that of a christian. He was also a member of the Masonic order of this place, the members of that organization turning out in a body and taking charge of the remains at the cemetery. He had held positions of trust in our midst, having been mayor of the city at one time, and had also acted on the board of councilmen.
The funeral services were held at the residence Monday afternoon, March 17, at 2 o'clock, the Rev. Siegle of the U. P. church officiating, who took as the basis of his remarks the 12th verse of the first chapter of first Timothy. The U. P. choir sang three of their choicest selections, suitable for the occasion. The floral decorations were very beautiful, consisting largely of potted plants. The funeral cortege was an unusually large one, the Masonic order taking charge of the remains at the conclusion of the services at the residence and the remains were laid to rest in the Americus cemetery.
