The death of Mr. John R. Moon occured at 2:30 o'clock on Thursday afternoon, at the home of his son, John Moon, in this city.

During the short time Mr. Moon has resided at this place he has been known only as a kind and good old gentleman, and succeeded in making friends with all whom he came in contact. He will be missed by many and the community at large will join the members of the family in mourning his loss.
The funeral will be held from the residence of John Moon, at 11 o'clock to-day, when a short funeral service will be conducted by Rev. John Sinclair.
