*Obituary (as written)
Fayetteville Democrat

MOORE, James - James Moore, long and favorably known in this county, has filled up the measure of his days and in the ripeness of an honorable old age, has gone to swell the ranks of the dead. An honest, kind hearted, good citizen, has left us and sincerely is his loss deplored. For more than fifty years he has lived in the same community, esteemed and respected by all who knew him. Mr. Moore was born in the State of Kentucky in the year 1810, July 10th, removed to Washington county, Ark. December 25th, 1830, stopping at Cane Hill. When in 1838 he was married to a Miss Trout, and the same year settled on Sugar Hill where he remained to the day of his death. His wife died in 1856 and he was married a second time in 1858 to a Miss Elms, who survives him. For more than thirty-five years he has been a zealous and consistent member of the Methodist Protestant Church. As a christian he always had the confidence which a quiet and orderly life merited from all with whom his associations were cast. He was never demonstrative but was ever quiet and simple in his tastes and habits; honorable in his dealings, generous in his friendships and firm in his convictions and attachments. He was also a worthy member of the Masonic fraternity and held his membership in Cane Hill Lodge. His last illness was pneumonia and he died January 3, 1882, surrounded by a weeping family and sorrowing friends. He leaves a wife and seven children and twenty-one grand children. He was followed to his grave by a large concourse of relations and friends and buried by his Masonic brethren with the honors of the order. Peace to his ashes. H.M. Welch, January 10th, 1882.
