The death of a third old citizen within a week occurred Monday (18th) when Charles Moore peacefully expired upon the arm of his son W. C. Moore after months of decline from various debilities augmented by advanced years. Mr. Moore was born May 10, 1835 in Poland, Ohio. He died October 17th, 1915, at his home in this city, after passing ten years beyond the allotted span. In 1857 himself and brother went west and settled upon the South Platte river, establishing herdds of horses and cattle which they grew in numbers till they had no accurate count upon them as they ran over the immense open ranges. Mr. Moore ran the pony express for years between Julesburg and Denver. He saw his brother shot to death in an Indian raid and soon after he removed his large herd to the North Platte river near Camp Clarke. He assisted H. T. Clarke in establishing his historical Camp Clarke bridge. In 1869 he went to Freeport, Illinois and on January 27th was married to Mary Ashley Tarbox whom he brought to Sidney (sic) bride. His herds grew and he acquired other properties rapidly, and employed many men. At one time he owned a large general store here from which he furnished supplies to the Black Hills and to the Government for its many posts. He also owned two blocks of business houses on Front Street, a hotel and residences scattered over the city, also two good farms near Grand Island. He was a man of generous prodigality and himself always honest and avoiding debt, he was too trusting of others. This trait in his character was the cause of poor business deals and gradually his large property dwindled until his later years found but little remaining of his large wealth. By the death of Mr. Moore the landmark of the earliest history of this section is gone, the next oldest citizens having come here later than 1859. He is survived by his wife and two sons, H. A. and W. C., another child, Mrs. Grace Moore Kruse, died several years ago. Four grandchildren also survive, Sidney, Glenn and Grace Moore and Ferdinand Kruse.
The funeral was held at the residence Monday afternoon with large attendance. Rev. Pinkham af the Episcopal church officiated, and the Episcopal choir sang both at the house and grave. The pall bearers were the older residents. They were J. R. Williams, L. H. Bordwell, S. Dedrich, J. Oberfelder, A. K. Greenlee and Charles Trognitz. And one more life's history is written and added to many chapters already chronicled.
