BELOVED SLEEP
After Years of Suffering, Rev. W.
Hayes Moore is Called to His
Eternal Rest.


Death came to Rev. w. Hayes Moor
this morning and released noble sou
from it's pain racked body. Although
not unexpected. the news comes as ;
distinct shock to the community il
which the deceased filled so large /;
place; to those who called him thei
friend, and they are many, it brings ;
deepfelt pang of bereavement; to thu
few who knew him intimately, i
means the departure of a well beloved
| brother 1t was the indomitable will
power of the man that had kept him
at work the past few years despite the
ravages of the terrible illness that
brought him to Santa Fe from an east
ern home where he was not only be
loved but which held for him great
promise of advancement and success
in his chosen and holy calling.
| Mr.. Moore was native of Maryland
and was in his forty second year. He
graduated with honors from the Pres

sylvania, he came to Santa Fe over six
years ago, to recuperate his broken
health, accepting the pastorate of the
Presbyterian Church. Since coming to
Santa Fe he served for brief period
as pastor Of the York Street Presby-
terian Church at Denver, but the eli
mate of that city not agreeing with
him he returned to Santa Fe, to the
great joy of his parishioners. Mr.
Moore was deep student, man of
broad sympathies, of liberal tenden-
cies, of high ideals and of rare elo-
quence. He was essentially "home"
man whose devotion to his family was
beautiful and for whom he had made
ample provision after his death. Dur
ing his pastorate, the Presbyterian
Congregation in this city added large
ly to it's membership and recently be-
came self sustaining. When he
preached, the church was al
ways crowded and his hearers
never went away without some
lesson deeply implanted by his won
derful gift of eloquence in back Of
which were positive convictions and
great learning. Mr.. Moore was pow.
er for good not only in his congrega-
tiOn but in the entire community.
Despite his feeble strength he worked
indefatigably not only in his profess
sional duties but along lines for the
moral, social and intellectual uplifting
of the people of Santa Fe. 1t was only
short time ago that he realized a
pet project by the organization of the
Fortnightly and he was constantly
planning work along similar lines. OF
late, he preached at regular intervals
in the A. M. E. Church in this city, in
fact, never permitted an opportunity
to slip by to be helpful to those around
him. Although Mr.. Moore's hold upon
life had been slight for years, it was
Of late especially, that he felt that his
life work was nearing its end Only
