RITES FOR REV. CHAS. MOORE

Died at Daughter's Home North of Kirksville Last Wednesday

Funeral services for Rev. Chas. M. Moore, 94, Scotland county minister, who died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Vaughn R. Pulliam, about two miles north-east of Kirksville Wednesday afternoon, March 1, at 4:15 were held at the Baptist church in Memphis Saturday morning at 10:30. Rev. Moore suffered a stroke on Monday morning, Feb. 27.
Interment was in Edinburg cemetery. Services were conducted by Rev. J. Purd Hays, pastor of the Memphis Baptist church.
Those attending from a distance were Mr. and Mrs. Olin Shacklett, Iowa City, Iowa; Rev. and Mrs. N.S. Dunham, Rev. W.M. Wigger, all of Hannibal; Mrs. McReynolds Sr., Mrs. U. Rial McReynolds, Mrs. L.R. Westcott and Mrs. Nelle Northcutt Nelson of Knox City.
Rev. Moore had been a Baptist minister for a number of years, and on account of his age, retired from the ministry several years ago. His wife died in 1945 and since her death he had been making his home with his children. He had spent the past two winters with Mrs. Pulliam.
Charles M. Moore was a son of William C. and Martha Ann Moore. He was born at the old homestead in Sandhill township, Scotland county, Missouri, on October 19, 1855.
He was united in marriage to Eva Pettit September 22, 1885. She preceded him in death Aug. 16, 1945.
To this union five children were born: Mrs. Frank Neese, Memphis; Mrs. Roy T. Myers, Sr., Waynesville; Mrs. V. R. Pulliam, Kirksville, Holland Moore, Memphis, and Mrs. Lilliam [sic] Craig, who preceded him in death Feb. 22, 1924.
He leaves the above named children; eleven grandchildren, fourteen great grandchildren. He was the last member of his family, all six brothers and a sister having gone on before.
He united with the Edinburg Baptist church early in life and was faithful in all church activities and always ready to answer to any call for help. He was present at the organization of the Pleasant Grove Baptist Association and in 1884, was chosen clerk and served for thirty years.
He was ordained to the ministry December 8, 1929, at Edinburg church by the pastors and deacons of Pleasant Grove Baptist Association.
His long life and vivid active memory leave stories of many events of pioneer days told in such an interesting way that they will be handed down to future generation. He never tired of telling of trips by boat to Pendleton county, Kentucky, of early Baptist work in Wyaconda and Pleasant Grove associations.
