for the past many years has held a run on the M & G division of that road, 
died almost suddenly yesterday afternoon at 5:30 o’clock at his home, 1036

apparently as well as usual and announcement of his death was the source of 
surprise and deep regret throughout the city and local railroad circles. In 
point of service Mr. Moore was probably the oldest engineer on the road. He 
has been driving his engine for the past forty-three years and his 
faithfulness and efficiency was recognized by all who knew him.

years of age when the death summons came. Mr. Moore is survived by his wife

MOORE of Hamilton, J. V. MOORE of Foreston? and T. F. MOORE of Fairfax, Ala.; 
two sisters Mrs. E. J. [Unreadable] of Hamilton, and MRS. LOUISE DAVIS of 
Chipley. Two grandchildren also survive him. They are CURTIS YOUNG, JR., and 
FRANK MOORE, JR. Mr. Moore was for many years a consistent member of the East 
Highlands Baptist church and was a man most highly esteemed by all who knew 
him. He was also a member of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers. The 
funeral services will be held tomorrow morning at 10 o’clock from the family 
residence by REV. R. M. RIGDON, pastor of the Comer? Memorial Baptist church 
following which internment will be in Riverdale cemetery. The following 
members of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers will serve as pallbearers:
