Moore, one of Winneshiek County's well known and beloved pioneers passed away on Sunday morning, Feb 16 at 10:15 o'clock at his farm home in Decorah township about two miles N.W. of Decorah. He had been in failing health for the past four weeks. He passed away on the same farm that his father pre-empted from the government in 1850, when he and his wife came from Illinois more than 85 years ago. Mr. Moore was born in Belvidere, Boone County, Illinois March 30 1845 coming here with his parents in 1850 where he had been a continous resident. The parents made the trip here by covered wagon, seven oxen pulling the wagon. They naturally encountered many hardships. When they arrived there were only two cabins here, one which was occupied by the Day family first settlers here. They then settled on the 160 acre farm two miles N.W. of Decorah where Mr. Moore grew to manhood and continued farming activities until about 1911 when he and Mrs. Moore moved to Decorah to reside. On August 7, 1867, Mr. Moore was united in marriage to Gustava Erickson, their marriage taking place at Springwater, north of Decorah. Three children were born to the union. A son, Dr. Henry W Moore, passed away about 31 years ago and a daughter, Ida (Mrs. Frank Jewell) passed away abut 13 years ago. The surviving son is J.L. Moore, rural mail carrier out of the Decorah post office. The bereaved wife and mother, who is 85 years of age also survives. Much sympathy is extended to them. Mr. Moore experienced many hardships here in the early days, his family living on boiled corn and salt for six weeks. Of course there was much wild game, but the early settlers being without guns or ammunition were unable to secure any of the game. Mr. and Mrs. Moore celebrated their 60th Wedding Anniversary in 1927. Mr. Moore was a prominent and efficient member of the Winneshiek Board of Supervisors for six years. He was a progressive, able and upright citizen and the high place he held in the respect and esteem of his neighbors had been worthily won by many years of honorable and straight forward dealing. Mr. Moore was a prominent member of the Masonic order of this city, the funeral services were held Wednesday afternoon at 2 o'clock from the Ness and Ness funeral home, the funeral being conducted by the Masons. Rev. A. Birchenough of Grace Episcopal officiated and interment was in Phelps Cemetery.
