as a final blow. Illness interviewed and cut
short a brilliant career.
At the time OF Mrs Ford's death the
family had been reduced TO poverty and
the two. chlldven had been adopted by
friends who could AFFORD TO educate them.
Ex-Governor Ford survived his wife only
n few years, and theS dlscomforts OF pow
erty closed thicky about him He tasted
the full bitterness OF illness, destitutiop
and dependence, and died under the most
deplorabie conditions.
The son. Tom. who had been adopted by
a resident OF st. Louis Thomas Moore by
name. had embarked onsa life careep>shich
promised to be prosperous, when he was
suddenly called west on business He was
crossing the plains on horseback. when he
fell in with q vigilance committee looking
for horse thief and hungry for its prey.
The stolen stock had been found in the
vicinity OF the spot where they encountered
Ford. and they accused him of the theft.
He Indignantly denied the charge. and said
he was Tom Moore OF Peoria. Upon fur
Their questioning however. he unldckily
mentioned that he was son of ex-Gover-
nor Ford OF Illinois, whersupon the leader
exclaimed: IAN honest man never travels
under two Names and the unfortunate
Ford was swung TO the nearest tree.
The daughter o. General Ford has drifted
entirely out OF sight OF the world and no
one knows what has become OF her. And

strange story comes from Salt Lake
City to the effect that former Governor
Ford of Illinois died in the most abject
poverty, with the bones OF his body liter
ally protrudlng, and that this deplorable
end OF one of Illinois best known states
men was directly due to curses pronounced
upon him by the great Mormon prophet,
Joseph Smith
The fact that Ford was governor OF Ilii-
nois during the Mormon war and at the
time of Smiths assassination gave a GER
tain credence to the rumor After leaving
his office as governor, Mr. Ford moved TO
st. Louis and his body now lies buried al
Springdale cemetery in that city. Careful
investigation today practically substan-
ilates the claims OF the Western Mormons.
1t Is true that Governor Ford as the rep-
resentative OF the law which was bounding
their sect, incurred the deadly enmity OF
the Mormons and their leader and prophet.
Old residents OF st Louis also state that
they can recall an old rumor OF a curse
against Governor Ford. and they talk at
length OF the conditions surrounding his
death and the end Of his family.
Governor Ford was a brilliant man OF
the highest principles. and was eminentiy
successful as lawyer. But after the ex-
piration OF his term or Office. and soon
after the alleged curse was pronounced, he
ceased 10 be as prosperous as formerly.
He moved 10 Peoria and established q
practice there. but misfortune followed
him, his property dwiadIed away. and thea,
