A little over a l year ago Mr. Moore contracted a. cold which settled on his lungs and despite the efforts of medical skill developed, into the fatal disease which at last laid him low, in the prime of life and in the midst of his usefulness. Though it resi- dent of the village for many years the deceased took little part in public affairs. preferiug a quiet home life to the worry and excitement that must be the lot of those who indentify themselves with the interests of the public. He was, [however for a. term of years a. memh'g of the Public School Board. the duties of which position he discharged honor- ahly to himself and with advantage to the municipality. He was a. member of the Presbyterian church and for u num- ber of years taught at class in the Sun- day Sc tool, Quiet and unassuming in nmnner. straightforward in business I transactions, careful in speech, generous by nature, he was It mun that any com- lnmnity could ill afford to lose.
