"UNCLE BILLIE " MOORE DIED LAST SATURDAY
Joseph W. Moore, nearing 86 years of age, a patriarchal old gentleman who for many years has lived on his place one-half mile south of Guymon and familiarly known as "Uncle Billie," was found lying on the floor of his home, unconscious Friday evening by Dr. Swift, a local veterinarian. He was taken to Epworth hospital at Liberal, Kans. Sons, J. Paul Moore and E. P. Moore were summoned. Death followed at 12:45 Saturday morning. Funeral services were delayed because an autopsy was ordered due to the sudden illness and demise.
Published in the Panhandle Herald, Thurs. May 5, 1932, p. 3.
Joseph W. Moore was born Sept. 19, 1846 in Missouri and died at Liberal. Kansas, April 30, 1932, being 85 years 7 months and 11 days.
When he was 17, he entered the Confederate army and served until the end of that great struggle. He was one of the two remaining "Old Soldiers" of that war in Guymon.
In 1867 he was united in marriage to Clara Elizabeth Meason and to this union were born eight children, one of whom died in infancy, seven grew to maturity and five are now living.
Mr Moore settled near Guymon in 1903 and a few years ago moved to Guymon where he has since resided.
He evidently became a Christian in early life for his children do not remember the time when he was not a Christian and a member of the Presbyterian Church. He became a member of the Guymon Presbyterian Church by letter on March 9, 1930.
His good wife preceded him in death in 1901 and there remain to mourn their loss, five children: George Moore of Reno, Nev.; E. P. Moore of Santa Barbara, Calif.; Mrs. Lillie E. Goforth, Little Rock, Ark.; Mrs. Clara A. McCord, Los Angeles, Calif., and J. P. Moore of Liberal, Kans. Also, 30 living grandchildren and several great grandchildren, a host of friend for every one who knew him loved him.
The world has been made better by his having lived and in spite of his advanced age, he will be missed by his friends. No more on the street, in Sunday School and church do we see "Uncle Billy" with his retiring way and sunny smile, but we know the other world has received a great soul.
