Mayor Geo. W. Moore yesterday received the sad news of the death of his father, A. A. Moore, of Jasper, MO., which took place at Claremore, I. T., where he had been stopping for the benefit of his health. Heart failure is understood to have been the cause of death. Mrs. Moore was with the deceased, and their son, John Moore, had already started for Claremore yesterday morning, an hour or two before the news reached this city. The remains were brought home for interment on last night's train.

***********************
According to the family Bible, Alex was born in 1841 not 1838.
Alexander enrolled on May 13, 1862 as a private in Company G, Eighth Regiment, of the MO State Militia [Cavalry]. He was honorably discharged at Springfield, Missouri, on May 27, 1865. He did not serve in the military after this.
In June 1891, Alexander was a resident of Aurora, Lawrence County,Missouri. when he applied for a veterans pension.
On September 9, 1891, Alexander was examined by medical examining board to assess his disability claim. He was awarded an 8/9ths disability based on kidney disease, Rheumatism, and heart disease. The doctors noted: "This man's general appearance is not very good. – He is emaciated and debilitated."
The Kidney disease could easily have been caused by the dehydration...reported during the Civil War. I have had two nurses read the medical report, who say the heart condition is more consistent with rheumatic fever or some other infection reaching the heart. This could have been contracted during the Civil War and gone unnoticed as a bad cold. It also might have been contracted during the family epidemic of 1870 or at some other time before 1891.
On January 29, 1892, a pension of $12 per month was granted under an Act of June 27, 1890 with payments effective retroactive to June 19, 1891.
Alexander died in a hotel at Claremore, Oklahoma, on May 21, 1906. The attending physician, M. H. Gordon, reports that Alexander had come to Claremore, (then Indian Territory, now Oklahoma) from Jasper City, Jasper County, Missouri, for "final" treatment.
