MOORE, John Goodrich - J.G. Moore, an old pioneer settler and Confederate soldier, died at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Walter Harris, on Tuesday, April 7th, 1925 after a long illness. Funeral services were conducted by Rev. O.M. Campbell on Thursday, April 9th from the Harris home and interment was made in the Barron cemetery near Vaughn. Mr. Moore was born in North Carolina and soon after the Civil War came to Benton county and settled on the farm where Syl Rife now lives, west of Osage. In 1883 he was married to Miss Mary E. Heagerty, to whom eight children were born, all dying in infancy except Mrs. Harris. Mr. Moore had been in ill health for some time and was recently taken to the home of his daughter where he died. In youth he united with the M.E. Church. He was a Mason of many years standing and members of that order assisted in the funeral services which were largely attended. A sister, Mrs. M.C. Lewis, of Kansas was present at the funeral.

John Goodrich Moore was born on Sept. 4th, 1845. Died on April 7th, 1925. His birthplace was Iredell county, North Carolina, eleven miles from Statesville. In 1867 he came to Arkansas and settled on what is now the S.G. Rife farm. Later he moved to the present home place where he had lived since. The last year of the Civil War found Uncle John (as he is now known to so many of us} serving with the Confederate Army. He was in several battles. His record as a soldier and also as a man and citizen, has been one strong for his convictions and always doing what to him seemed right. On November 25th, 1883 he was married to Mary Elizabeth Heagerty. To this union were born eight children, seven dying in infancy. He is survived by his wife, Mary Elizabeth Moore; one daughter, Inez Harris, and her husband, Walter Harris; two grandchildren, Leon and Lee Harris, one sister, Mrs. Myra Lewis, of Kansas City. There are many other relatives and a host of acquaintances who also mourn his passing away. If Uncle John could have stayed until September he would have been 80 years old. It seems useless for anyone to try and tell of those years when he has lived them so well. He professed faith when but a boy in North Carolina. However he did not take an active part in church and Sunday school work until after he was married. Then he united with the M.E. Church and has always been steadfast, loyal and untiring in his Christian life. His last two years were ones of breaking health and his last months filled with intense suffering. At 2:30 a.m. Tuesday the summons came. The pain wracked body is at rest and his soul at peace.
