Life of Elijah Newton Moore - June 3, 1925 Newspaper clipping of Mrs. Frank Moore, Obion, TN
In the death of Esq. E. N. Moore at his home in Obion, which took place Wednesday morning, June 3, 1925, at 5 o’clock, Obion County loses one of her leading citizens. Esq. Moore had been in declining health for months and the end came peacefully in the presence of a large number of relatives and friends.
Esq. Moore’s home in Obion was shared by his granddaughter, Miss Nell Milam.
E. N. Moore was the son of Jas. A. Moore, who was born in North Carolina, and came to Williamson County, Tennessee, when quite young, afterwards moving to Maury County, and there he married Eliza Hanks, to whom ten children were born. The elder, James A., was a mechanic and followed bridge building as his principal occupation. In 1870 he came to Obion County and died in 1879.
E. N. Moore was born in Maury County, April 21, 1845 and lived with his parents until the Civil War, enlisting with the First Tennessee Cavalry (Wheeler’s) and remained under General Wheeler’s command until the close of the war.
Returning home he married Miss Jennie Cannon in Maury County in 1867. In 1870 Mr. Moore located on the farm in the vicinity of Glass, then Palestine, where he continued to live until about ten years ago, when he moved to Obion.
Esq. Moore is survived by five children as follows: James Moore, Caruthersville, Mo.; Geo. And Lige [Elijah] Moore, Obion; Mrs. Omer Hamilton, Memphis; Mrs. Hattie McGaw, Ripley, Tennessee He leaves a brother, W. R. (B) Moore, of San Angelo, Texas, and a sister, Mrs. W. F. Barry, Jackson Tennessee. The death of Mrs. Moore took place in December, 1923.
Esq. Moore in public life and as a private citizen lived consistently a man of the strictest integrity and upright character. He had the moral courage and the mental fibre to withstand the sham and tarnish of evil influences.
He served his community in the up building of the churches and schools. He was a member of the Obion County Court for sixteen years from 1900 to 1916; a member of the lower house of the Tennessee General Assembly for two terms, being elected to that body in 1908 and 1910, and one of the immortal branch of that house which stood for no compromise on the question of prohibition.
He was a man of positive convictions and stood in the open on every public question at the same time respecting the opinions of colleagues and friends.
He was a man of many good parts but on the question of prohibition and temperance he was as firm as the rocks, and never faltered in his efforts to stamp out one of the greatest evils besetting mankind.
On the farm and in business Esq. Moore was a man of thrift and good fortune. He was a director in the Bank of Obion for many years and attended all the meetings until a few months ago.
Esq. Moore was a Mason and member of the Baptist Church. He was a deacon in the church at Obion.
The above is a brief sketch of the life of our fellow citizen, who leaves with his descendants and with the people of Obion County the legacy of a good name and of an influence which will impress our lives for years to come. His passing is marked with the highest reverence and respect. Rest in peace.
Services were held yesterday afternoon at the Baptist Church in Obion, conducted by Rev. L. P. Fleming and the remains were interred in the Obion Cemetery.
