Pioneer Settler in the Beechwoods Dis
trict Passed to the Great Beyond
Last Thursday.
David B. Moore, life long resident
Of the Beechwoods and one Cf the best
known Of the pioneers who hewed out
OF the wilderness the pleasant homes
and rich farming land now visible in
that region, died at his home In Glen
dale Thursday, July 2lst, 1910, after
suffering for several months. The
funeral service was held at his late
residence Saturday afternoon at
O'Clock, conducted by Rev. Palmer
of Hazen, and burial was made in the
Beechwoods cemetery under direction
of Hughes & Fleming of Reynoldsville.
Members OF the Hormtown Grange at
tended the funeral in body.
David B. Moore was born in Beech
woods September Ord, 1889, and spent
the balance Of his life, with the excep-
tion Of a few years at the front during
the war, in Washington township. he
was member Of the famous 1O5th
Regiment, Pennsylvania Volunteers,
and served with honor until honorably
discharged. September "a, 1868, Mr..
Moore was united in marriage to Miss
Helen Perrin by the Rev. B. a. Fish,
pastor Of the Baptist church at Pres
cottville, and the following year the
couple moved to the spot in the wilder.
ness that was ever after their home and
is cultivated at present by his sons, L..
W. and ". L. Moore. The wilderness
was cleared and in its place Mr.. Moore
built up one Of the finest and most
fertile farms In Washington township.
To Mr.. and Mrs. Moore five children
were born, but OF the family only Mrs.
Moore and the two sons above named
remain. A daughter, Mrs. Laura
Burtop, and infant twins preceded Mr..
Moore to the grave. A brother,
Andrew Moore, of Warsaw township,
and two sisters, Frances Best. OF Reyn-
oldsville, and Nancy Gall, Of Hamilton,
Pa, also survive.
Mr.. Moore was an excellent type OF
the rugged pioneers who seemed design
ed to battle with hardship and enjoy
the fight. He would relate with
pleasure his experiences In the early
days when men were few and wild
beasts were plenty in this part of the
state, and tell OF difficulties overcome
in clearing the land and making 1t
habitable. The toll Of his earlier years
was rewarded richly and enabled him to
spend his later years in comparative
ease, enjoying the highest esteem of all
who knew his tuseful life and his
sobriety and strict integrity.
