Frank J. Moore.
Frank J. Moore died at his home in Columbus City a little past nine o'clock Thursday evening, August 4, 1904 after a illness of several months.
Francis Johnston Moore was born in Monroe county, Tenn., March 27, 1832 and came with his father's family to Iowa in 1842, and this vicinity has continued to be his home every since. September 19, 1853, he was married to Miss Lucinda Duncan and for a number of years their home was on a farm west of Columbus City. For the past seven years they have lived in Columbus City.
Mrs. Moore preceded him in death just one year ago, her death occurring August 2, 1903, and since that time his health has been rapidly failing. Mr. Moore was one of Louisa county's honest, upright citizens; a farmer, a republican in politics and for six years, from 1882-1888, served the first district as supervisor in a very satisfactory manner.
The deceased leaves of his immediate family two sons, J.J. and Charles, and three daughters, Misses Emma and Melissa, and Mrs. Carrie Sipe. Miss Melissa has tenderly cared for her father during his illness. Besides these, he leaves two brothers and one sister.
The funeral was held from the home Saturday morning at ten o'clock, conducted by Rev. J.C. Marshall, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, of which Mr. Moore had long been a member. He was assisted by Rev. J.A. Greer, a former pastor. The body was then laid to rest in the Columbus City cemetery beside that of his wife, whom he had never ceased to mourn. Another good old man has gone to his reward and will be missed not only by his family but by many friends.

Francis J. Moore was born March 27, 1832, in Monroe county, Tennessee, and died at his home in Columbus City, Iowa, August 4, 1904, being but little past middle age. At the age of 10 years he came with his parents to Iowa and this state has since been his home. September 19, 1853, he was joined in marriage with Miss Lucinda Duncan, who closed her eyes on the scenes of this world August 2, 1903. Mr. Moore was one of the men who helped to make Iowa what it is, coming here in an early day and was an honest, industrious and successful farmer, one whose aim was to elevate and lift up and make the community in which he lived better. Twice he was elected county supervisor from the district in which he lived and the first district never had a better and more conscientious representative. His home for many years was on a farm a few miles west of Columbus City. About seven years ago on account of no longer being able to take full charge of the farm he removed to Columbus City, where he has since lived. For some months his health has been failing rapidly and for several days friends knew the end was near. The funeral was held from the late home at 10 o'clock today, conducted by Rev. J. C. Marshall, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, of which deceased had long been a member. Rev. J.A . Green, a former pastor and friend of deceased, of Superior, Nebraska, who is visiting here, assisted in the services. The remains were then borne to the Columbus City cemetery where they were interred.
