JUDGE S.T. MOORE DEAD:
Prominent Citizen And Old Confederate Passes Away:
Samuel Turner Moore, old confederate soldier, splendid citizen and Christian gentleman, died Thursday at his home on Court Street at 1:15pm. He was conscious to the last and his last words were that he was ready to go. His funeral was preached by Reverend W.A. Fite at the Christian Church Friday at 3 o'clock to a large gathering of friends.
Samuel Turner Moore was born May 26, 1842 in St. Aubert township. He grew to young manhood in Callaway and at the age of 19, in 1861, joined the Confederate Army at New Bloomfield and reached General Price in time to take part in the capture of Lexington, Missouri. He fought at Peaks Ridge, Corinth, Grand Gulf, Port Gibson, Luka and Vicksburg.
It was July 4th, 1863 when Vicksburg surrendered and again, 44 years later, the gallant soldier of the South made his last surrender on the national holiday with his family and friends around him. During the war he was twice wounded. After being exchanged from the Vicksburg surrender he again joined the Army and fought to the end of the war.
He returned to Callaway, after the war, and engaged in mercantile business at old St. Aubert, now Mokane, and later bought a farm in the bottom near there. He then moved to Hams Prairie and three years ago came to Fulton.
During his service as a soldier he contacted consumption. His strong constitution enabled him to fight off the disease until a few months ago when he was confined to his bed.
Mr. Moore joined the Christian Church in 1879 and was a constant member up to the time of his death.
In 1903 and 1904 he served as Judge of the county court but declined to be a candidate for reelection. He was married to Miss Emma L. Ferguson in 1867 and again to Miss Kate Harris, daughter of J.B. Harris in 1879. To the first marriage two children were born, Forrest of Los Angeles, California and Mrs. Williamson of Fulton. To the latter six children, Turner, Harris, John, Lucy, now Mrs. Tyler, Mary Lee and Katherine, all of whom live in Callaway County.
His last request was that he be remembered to all his friends. Relatives from Mokane and Columbia were present at his funeral.
"A better soldier never lived." said an old comrade in speaking of his war record. By his death the county loses a valued citizen, the family a loving husband and father but he said " I am ready to go."
