MOORE.
Last Saturday evening the entire
community was panied to learn of the
death OF our much respected towns
man, Mr.. Richard O. Moore, whose
death occurred at the family home on
South Broad street, at a quarter before
six o'clock. Deceased was born at
Howard Siding, May 18th, 1873, and
was therefore 81 years, four months
and % days of age. On October 10th
1901, he was married to Miss Margaret
Creighton, of this place, who with the
following sisters and brothers survive
him: Mrs. Maude Rooney, Buffalo, N
Y, Mrs. Mary Cummings, Allegheny,
Pa, Mrs. Nellie Bond, Port Deposit,
Nd, Messrs. Thomas, of Youngsville,
Pa, Harry, of Heating Summit, Pa,
Albert, of Kansas City, Kansas, and
William, of Emporium. "Dick" as he
was familiarly called was not known to
have an enemy and was friend of all
and to all. He was generous to fault
and was happy when he could be doing
favor for his many friends. Two
years ago last January, he suffered a
stroke of paralysis which rendered him
partly helpless for some time. He
sought medical aid from several ply
sicians and was 80 far recovered as to
be able to resume his work as book
keeper at the Office of the Du Pont Pow
der Plant at this place. Last Saturday
about the noon hour he was again
stricken and was removed to his home
arriving there about one O'Clock. He
was conscious until four o'clock in the
afternoon, when the spark of life start
ed to lower and he sank into semi
conscious state from which he never
rallied. For twelve years he was in
the employ of the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company in the freight office, re-
signing four years ago and accepted
the position with the Powder Com
pany. He was the efficient clerk aud
secretary of the town council for three
years and would have continued long
or but was compelled to resign owing
to i'll health. Once again we are
brought face to face with the grim real
ity that life In but a fieetiug shadow,
likened unto a flower, in the morning
il groweth up and in the evening It is
cut down and withereth. Death IL sad
at all times, but when il takes from our
midst one in the very prime of life aud
one whose life was 80 full OF promise IL
makes II doubly sad The bereaved
widow aud the other members of the
family have indeed the most sincere
sympathy Of the entire community.
