The following was taken from the Feb. 22, 1968 edition of THE STATESVILLE RECORD & LANDMARK:
Nathan Moore, 89, of North Wilkesboro died Wednesday morning in North Carolina Cancer Clinic in Lumberton.
Born in Wilkes County on Nov. 13, 1878, he was the son of the late Henry Eli and Elizabeth Treadway Moore. A retired farmer, he had also worked with Turner and White Casket Company.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Sarah Mae Moore, of the home; seven sons, John W. Moore, Nathan E. Moore, George T. Moore and Eli H. Moore, all of Statesville, Robert and Roy Moore, both of Olin, and Woodrow Moore of Ridgeway, Va.; eight daughters, Mrs. Lessie Lambert of Spray, Mrs. Kathy Brooks of Greensboro, Mrs. Dorothy Walker of Hayes, Mrs. Gertrude Cloneger of California, Mrs. Faye Walsh of Flint, Mich., Mrs. Polly Hawkins, Mrs. Cora Moose, and Mrs. Bertha Benge, all of Statesville; and 74 grandchildren.

The body will remain at Warren-Miller Funeral Home until taken to the church to lie in state 30 minutes prior to the funeral hour. The family will receive friends at the funeral home tonight from 7 o'clock until 9 o'clock.
***NOTE: His mother's name in his obituary should read Elizabeth Williams Moore. Treadway was the maiden name of his first wife, Mary Rebecca.
***NOTE: I would like to extend my heartfelt appreciation to my dad's first cousin, Kim, for providing the photo of Grandpa Nathan.
