Tributes Of Respect
Died at his home in Lost Town, Cherokee county, Ga., on September 8th 1886, in 
the 72nd year of his age, John K. Moore.  Mr. Moore was one of our oldest and 
most influential citizens.  He was born and raised in Hall county, Ga., and 
moved to Canton, Cherokee county, Ga., in the year 1836, where he was married 
to Miss Francis J. Garrison, daughter of Capt. N. J. Garrison, in the year 
1842, with whom he lived happily up to the date of his death, and by whom he 
raised a large family.  John K. Moore was beloved by all who knew him.  He was 
remarkably kind and genial in his disposition.  His benefactions were numerous 
and liberal, and he never turned a deaf ear to the poor.  He had genuine 
sympathy for the suffering, and always sought, in his own peculiar way, to 
minister to their relief.  He was a tender, loving husband and a kind and 
affectionate father.  He was a man of strong religious convictions, but his 
piety, like his life, was quiet, gentle and  full of faith and good works.  He 
united with the Baptist church in the year 1848, and was ordained deacon the 
same year.  He continued until his death a consistent and useful member of the 
church of choice; and then, surrounded by his sorrowing family and friends, 
peacefully entered into the rest that remaineth for the people of God.              
                                
N. J. G.
