J. R. Moore
(died Nov 16, 1899)
Died from Hydrophobia.
Corsicana, Tex., Nov. 17. - Forty days ago
while J. R. Moore and his family were engaged
in picking cotton on their farm, near Blooming
Grove, in this county, a stray dog came into
the field. When the day's work had been finished
the dog was taken to Moore's home and fed and
repaid this kindness by biting the elder Moore
and one of his sons. No serious thought was given
this circumstance at the time, but day before
yesterday the elder Moore developed unmistakable
signs of hydrophobia. A physician was immediately
sent for and on his arrival did all that could be
done to relieve the man, who was then in convulsions
and suffering terribly. No relief could be given,
however, and the convulsion and spasms continuing
until yesterday afternoon, when death relieved the
sufferer.
