                     FUNERAL MR. D. MOORE HELD AT FRIENDSHIP
              One of Wilcox County's Most Highly Respected Citizens 
                        Passes at His Home in Pineview

     In spite of the care of three physicians and the tender care of wife and
children, Mr. Dave Moore peacefully passed away early Thursday morning, October
24, following an attack of pnuemonia.
     Mr. Moore was born in Pulaski County, October 22, 1858, and died just two
days after reaching his 77th birthday. His parents died when he was an infant.
Some 55 years ago he was married to Miss Datie Adams, and by industry and
perseverance they reared a large family, and provided a comfortable home and
advantages beyond the average. 
     He was a member of the Primitive Baptist Church at Hawkinsville. He was a
Christian of the highest integrity. His ideals of church membership wase
high--ideals that were maintained, thereby becoming a fine example of the life a
Christian should lead. When so many claimed that Saturday's duties were too
heavy to permit of attending services on that day, Mr. Moore was never too busy,
and was always found in his accustomed place. 
     He had the appreciation of schools, churches, and all organizations and
movements that tended toward the uplift of his community. In addition to these
outward manifestations of his personality, there was a finer inner nature known
best to his more intimate friends and to his family.. His interest in youth, his
love for nature, his modesty, are expressions of a real Christian gentleman.
People in all walks of life will miss his warm handclasp or cordial greetings.
He practiced the beautiful little poem: "There is so much good in the worst of
us, so much bad in the best of us. That it doesn't behoove any of us to talk 
about the rest of us."
     Mr. Moore is survived by his wife, five daughters, Mrs. Ola Busbee of
Vienna; Mrs. Tannie Holt of Cross City, Fla.:Mrs. Fannie Holt of Pineview,
Ga.:Mrs. Alice Hancock of Alma, Ga.: Mrs. Ethel Conaley, of Sanford, Fla.: three
sons; Steve Moore of Miami, Fla.: D. T. Moore of Starke, Fla.: Ernest Moore of
Pineview, Ga.: Eighteen grandchildren and seven great-grand-children.
     Funeral services were held at Friendship Church, Friday morning at 11
o'clock, conducted by Elder G. A. Hill, a cousin. A choir composed of Mrs. T. J.
Dennard, Mrs. John Tippett, Mrs. Leon Finleyson, Mr. Clarence Finelyson and Miss
Annie Trammell sang two songs: "How Beautiful Heaven Must Be" "The Christian's
Farwell." Mr.Guy Evans was accompanist.
     Pall-bearers were: Willie Rob Moore, Howard Holt, Douglas Holt, Edwin
Dennard, J. F. Lee and Elmer Davis.
     It was said that the flowers and their arrangement were among the lovliest
ever seen at a funeral at Friendship.

of Fort Valley; Mr. and Mrs/ Ben Adams, and Mrs. J. W. Price, of Albany; Mr. and
