MOORE. Last Saturday evening the entire community was pained to learn of the death of our much respected towns man, Mr. Richard C. 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 37 years, four months and 22 days of age. On October 16th 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 Cammings, Allegheny, Pa., Mrs. Nellie Bond, Port Deposit, Md., Messrs. Thomas, of Youngsville, Pa., Harry, of Keating 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 a friend of all and to all. He was generous to a fault and was happy when hecouldbe doing a favor for his many friends. Two yearn ago last January, he suffered a Btrokeof paralysis which rendered him partly helpless for some time. He sought medical aid from several phy sicians and was HO far recovered as to be able to resume his work as book keeper at the office of the DuPont Pow der Plant at this place. I<ast 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 sp-irk of life start ed to lower and he sank into a 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 aud 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 er but wax compelled to resign owing to ill health. Once again we are brought face to face with the grim real ity that life is but a fleetiui; shadow, likened upto a flower, in the morning it groweth up aud in the evening it in cut down aud withereth. Death iH nad at all time*, but wheu it taken from our midst oue in the very prime of life aud oue whose life was HII full of promiae it makes it doubly sad The bereaved ' widow aud the other members of tlm ' family have indeed the runs' hill cure •vnipatM at th* entire community, THH KI Nl.llAl.
