WILLIAM MOORE PASSES AWAY
William Moore was born in Newton Stewart, near Belfast, Ireland on March 17, 1843. He died in Pond Creek, Oklahoma on August 31, 1913, aged 70 years, 5 months, and 14 days.
He came with his parents to Canada, when a child, and settled near Montreal; shortly afterward the family moved to the United States and settled near Chillicothe, Ohio.
He grew to manhood, and was united in marriage in 1866 to Elizabeth Varner. To this union thirteen children were born, eight of whom, with his wife, survive him.
He absorbed the shoemakers trade from his father, and learned the trade of harness making when but a young man. These trades he plied faithfuly until failing health overtook him nearly two years ago.
He came to Freeport, Kansas in 1886, and moved from there to Bluff City, Kansas, in 1887.
He came to Pond Creek at the time of the opening of the Strip, and here remained until the time of his death.
He was a thoroughly honest, industrious and conscientious citizen, a possessor of many friends, all of whom mourn their loss, and extend their sympathy to the family.
