N. T. MOORE

OGDEN -- Funeral service for Neriah Thomas (N. T.) Moore, 53, 1286 Twenty-Eighth Street, former assistant, chief of the Ogden City Fire Department, will be conducted Monday at 2 p.m. in the Kirkendall-Darling Funeral Chapel by the Rev. William P. Whittemore, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Burial will be in the Ogden City Cemetery.

Friends may call at the chapel Sunday from 3 to 8 p.m. and Monday prior to services.

Mr. Thomas died Friday evening at his home of complications incident to age.

He was born February 2, 1958, in Salt Lake City, a son of N. T. Moore. He obtained his education in Salt Lake City, where on May 17, 1881, he married Annie Elizabeth Sheen.

As a young man he learned the trade of lock and gunsmith and operated his own shop in Salt Lake City.

He entered the employ of the Utah Northern Narrow Gauge Railroad at Logan as an engine dispatcher. Later he was employed by the same company as a locomotive fireman and worked out of Eagle Rock, now Idaho Falls, Idaho, subsequently he was transferred to Pocatello, Idaho, and advanced to the position of engineer, which he held until 1891, when he came to Ogden. In May of that year he entered the employ of the Ogden Fire Department, for which he also did electrical work. He was advanced steadily to the positions of lieutenant captain and assistant fire chief. He retired from the later position on July 1, 1930, after 30 years of continuous service.

He retained his membership in Perseverence Logde No. 68, Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and Enginemen and in 1933 he received his gold pin for 50 years years of continuous membership in that organization. He also was a pensioner in the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and a member of the First Baptist Church in Ogden.

Surviving are his widow of Ogden; one son, Lawrence T. Moore of Twin Falls, Idaho and one daughter, Mrs. A. M. Squires of Ogden; two brothers, Lewis E. Moore of Fresno, California and Henry Moore of Salt Lake City, seven grandchildren and five great-grandchildren.
