DEATH OF A PIONEER CITIZEN

The Herald and Advertiser regrets to chronicle this week the death of 
another old citizen, Mr. Jas. H. Moore. He passed away about 4 o'clock 
Monday morning at the home of his daughter Mrs. E.E. Summers in the 86th 
year of his age. He had been in failing health for several months but the 
latter part of December was forced to take to his bed and was never able to 
be out again.

"Uncle Jimmie" as he was familiarly known, was one of Coweta's oldest and 
best citizens and the announcement of his death will be heard with genuine 
sorrow by his numerous friends throughout the county. He was born in Wilkes 
county, Ga., but when about 20 years of age removed to Coweta and, with the 
exception of a brief residence in Heard county, made his home in this county 
up to the time of his death.

He was a charter member of Coweta Lodge, F. & A.M. having assisted in the 
organization of the lodge over sixty years ago. He was also a veteran of the 
Civil War, having entered the service as a member of Co. C. 34th Ga. Regt. 
and made a record for gallantry and devotion to duty that is cheerfully 
attested by his surviving comrades.

He was thrice married. His last wife, now 84 years of age survives him. His 
children are Mrs. J.A. Bohannon and Mrs. J.L. Bonner of Carroll county, Mr. 
J.W. Moore of Twiggs county and Mrs. E.E. Summers of this city.

The funeral took place Tuesday at Macedonia church, 5 miles north of the 
city, services being conducted by Rev. J.F. Singleton. The interment was 
made with Masonic honors.
