Uncle Foster Moore died last Saturday morning at 9 o'clock, was buried Sunday afternoon at the Belmont graveyard. His last words were, "I am ready." The widow and family have the sympathy of a large circle of friends.
Foster Moore came into this portion of the country at a very early date. He says he has been assessor here, when his beat covered all eastern Illinois and a part of Indiana, though just how much of Indiana he had, the books do not show. His experience in husking corn down on the Wabash during the years of high water was fearful. "Shucking" ten feet under the ice is a "feat" which no one but a very old settler could successfully accomplish, and calls to mind the experiences of Jonah when he first settled in Ninevah. This was known as Union precinct before township organization.
