Uncle David Moran, one of the oldest and best known residents of the Platte Purchase, is dead. His death occurred at 1:25 p.m. yesterday at his home six miles east of this city on the Avenue City road. His death was the result of an accident which befell him while doing a kind act for a stranger.
Saturday evening about 6 o'clock a stranger who was driving along the road near Mr. Moran's home drove into a mud hole, and his team in attempting to pull the wagon out broke a singletree. The stranger went up to Mr. Moran's house and telling him of the mishap asked for a singletree. Uncle David went to his barn to get the article, and finding it was up in the hay mow, climbed up through the hatchway. The mow floor is about nine feet from the lower floor. As he started to walk around the open hatchway after getting into the mow, he made a misstep and fell through. As his body shot down through the hatchway his right side struck the edge and was crushed in and he fell to the floor senseless.
He was carried into the house and Dr. Jacob Geiger of this city called. He made an examination and found that four of the ribs on the right side were broken and he had also received other serious internal injuries. All that was possible was done but to no avail and death resulted yesterday afternoon.
There are few men in the Platte Purchase better known than Mr. Moran. He was born in Kentucky April 3, 1819, and was at an early age married to Miss Kate Tanner, who died at his home May 19, 1889. No children blessed their union. From Kentucky they removed to Mississippi, and from that state to the Platte Purchase in 1856. Mr. Moran settled on a claim in Andrew county, near where he now resides, in that year, and has been a resident of Andrew county since. February …, 1891, he was again married to Mrs. Angie Fox, who survives him. He has no other relatives in this section except Mrs. Harvey E. Lewis of this city, who is his neice [sic].
He was of a kindly and genial nature and a friend to all. He owned over 1,000 acres of choice land and was wealthy. The funeral will occur to-day from his residence. He will be buried beside the remains of his wife who is interred at a point eight miles northwest of Savannah.
NOTE: On 17 April 1869 David and Catherine A. Moran adopted Robert STEWART (age 22) and Samuel B. STEWART (age 19) Cases Determined by the Supreme Court of the State of Missouri; Moran v. Stewart. Robert & Samuel are sons of Robert (1813-1854) & Mary Clarissa (Keeton) (1810-1858)STEWART.
