Mrs. Moore, whose maiden name was Sallie Francis Thomason, was born in Scott county, near Louisville, KY., May 1, 1853, and when about 18 months old her parents moved to Smithville, Mo., where she lived until her marriage on Aug. 31, 1873, to John A. Moore. Two children were born to them while residing in Missouri.
She left Smithville with her family and a few other emigrants and arrived in Bozeman July 23, 1877, making the entire trip across the plains by wagon. She and her husband then settled on the farm where they have resided ever since.
She leaves besides her husband, two brothers, a sister, mother and seven children. Funeral arrangements will not be made until the other members of the family have been heard from.
The funeral of Mrs. John A. Moore will be held from the residence on Wednesday at 10 o’clock. It is expected that Rev. J. E. Parker will conduct the services. Mrs. Moore was a member of the Christian Church of Central Park until a church was organized in Belgrade and then her letter was transferred to the church here. She was also one of the most faithful and loyal members of the local W.C.T.U. She was a kind neighbor, and devoted mother, and will be greatly missed by a large circle of friends.
She was the mother of 12 children, seven of whom survive her. They are Arda Moore, Mrs. Richard Gale, and Miss Opal Moore, all at home; John N. Moore, Clear Lake, S.D.; Roy and family, residing at Williston, N.D.; and Earl, living at Zortman, Mont. The eldest son had not been located Monday. She also leaves two brothers, a sister, and mother. She will be buried in the East Gallatin Cemetery beside her children, two of whom died within a few weeks of each other from typhoid fever which visited the family about 12 years ago.
The Presbyterian Ladies’ Aid society will meet Thursday in the church. Mrs. Powers’ division will serve the lunch.
