The Springdale News
Friday, November 28, 1919
MOORE, Mary F. (White) BISHOP – MOORE- Through an oversight, The News last week failed to make mention of the death of Mrs. Mary F. Moore, which occurred on Friday, 14th inst., at her home in Springdale. She had been ill some time and her death was not unexpected. Funeral services were held at the home the following day, conducted by Rev. E.W. Faulkner, pastor, M.E. Church, South, interment being in Bluff Cemetery.
Deceased was a native of Tennessee and was seventy years of age. About the year 1866 she was united in marriage to George White in Tennessee and later the family moved to Texas, where Mr. White died. One child, a son, was born to them and he was drowned in White River when about fourteen years of age after the deceased had come to this section with her father, the late William Bishop, in the early seventies. Our older residents will remember Mr. Bishop, who lived for many years on a farm some two miles north of town, later moving into town.
In 1882 deceased was united in marriage to J.B. Moore, a member of the well known Moore family, Mr. Moore being a brother of Elias B. Moore, who was Secretary of State in the eighties. Mr. Moore had a clerical position in Little Rock, where he and Mrs. Moore resided, but after the formers’ death in 1892, deceased again returned to Springdale, which continued to be her home until death. The only other member of the family for several years past was James Bishop, nephew of the deceased.
Mrs. Moore has long been a member of the Presbyterian Church and was a woman of culture and refinement, having been educated in some of the best old schools of Tennessee. In her younger days she took an active part in church and social affairs and had the respect and friendship of all who knew her.
