Obituary - The death of Miss Elizabeth Frances Moore on Saturday last in the 88th year of her age, removes from among us another of our old and highly esteems Village residents. Besides being the daughter of the Rev. Thomas Lambert Moore, whom from 1784-1799 was rector of St. George's Church, she was also nearly related (a niece, we believe) to two Bishops, Benjamin Moore of the diocese of New York and Bishop Richard Channing Moore of the diocese of Virginia, the former of whom died in 1816 and the latter in 1841. Miss Moore was the first child born in St. George's Rectory, aged the corner of Prospect and Greenwich Streets, which was built in 1793. Her remains were interred in the burying Ground at St. George's Church finding their last resting place by the side of the graves of her two sisters, and near those of her father and mother.
