Obituary of Charles William Moore, Crawford County, Illinois Contributed for use in the USGenWeb Archives Copyright 2000 Jim Admire CHARLES W. MOORE DEAD West York Merchant Called by Death's Angel Charles William Moore, son of Caroline and William Moore, was born in Ohio, April 10, 1855. At the age of three years he moved with his parents to Georgetown, Illinois where he grew to manhood. He was united in marriage to Emma Bell, Oct. 15, 1878. To this union was born one son who stayed with them two years before he was called in to the Great Unknown. The deceased established himself in business in West York, Illinois, about 1896 and was so engaged at the time of his death, Nov. 12, 1920.  He united early in life to the Methodist Episcopal church in which faith he had been raised. He believed that religion was a thing to be lived rather that professed and in his quiet unpretentious  way endeavored to execute this theory. He was an enemy to no man and we who knew him best realize indeed that a friend has gone out from among us. At 12:30 o'clock Sunday afternoon, the casket was taken to the M. E. church where all had the oportuntiy of looking upon the face of this friend for the last time this side of heaven. At 1:00, the casket was closed and a short service was conducted by the pastor, Rev. H. B. Shoaff after which the body was taken to its last resting place in the Bradbury cemetery. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- USGENWEB NOTICE: These electronic pages may NOT be reproduced in any format for profit or presentation by other organizations or persons.
