Threescore years ten and one have passed since thy life begun
bright with sunshine some days have been, and shadows on a past are seen, yet how blessed has been thy life, living thus so free from strife, old North Carolina in years agone, claimed you as her honored son,' til haughty treason in shame tis said, blushing not with lifted head, exiled many a native son, so thou sought a foreign land ,led by Gods all guiding hand,
a home in Indiana was sought, and compelence by toil was bought,
as sacrificed to save the boys, from sharing in a rebel prison
the fate of those who knew no treason seven years in Indiana thou spent in honest labor most intent retrieve the dollars lost before and live in comfort as of yore then on to Kansas farther west came thou thinking it would be best years have passed with changes many thinned our ranks and left us lonely yet many joys still are left us of which time has not bereft us one is thyself our grandpa dear is life prolonged yet many a year may all thy birthdays all be bright and thy sorrows ever light whilst thy son sinks in the west be thy spirit ever blessed with Gods eternal hand to guide thy way and usher in eternal day as the morn is bright to see may thy evenings brighter be a glad birthday in heaven at last with birthdays on earth are past

Samuel C. Moore, was a native of North Carolina, lived in one of the western counties of that state, was a Quaker, and as his association with that faith would indicate, was a pronounced abolitionist. About the opening of the Civil war he migrated to Indiana, and the property he left behind in North Carolina was confiscated by the Confederate Government. Later he came on to Kansas and he died in Chase County. He married Mary Bundy, and their children were: Morris, John B., Joseph, Samuel C., Jr., Eli J., Abigail, who married John Morgan, Rebecca, who became the wife of Robert B. Brown, and Hulda J., who married Joseph O. Binford.
