SAM GORE is dead.  The end came to the well known proprietor of
Sam Gore's Smoke House at 12:30 o'clock this morning, after an
illness of three years.  He was one of the most popular men in
Atchison, and through his pleasing personality and business
ability built up and for years maintained the largest smoke house
and retail cigar store in the city.  Fifteen years ago he started
in the location near Fifth and Commercial streets where the store
now is operated by his son-in-law, Tom Ball, Jr. and Owen Grady,
who have been in charge since Mr. Gore became ill.

Samuel Gore -- he was known as Sam Gore to his hundreds of
friends and admirers -- was born near Sugar Creek 49 years ago.
On 25 Nov 1895, he was married to Miss Glenn Frailey, who
survives with one daughter, Mrs. Tom Ball, Jr., and one grandson,
Samuel William Ball.  The boy and grandfather were constant and
devoted companions.  Mr. Gore's mother, Mrs. Rachel Webb, and a
half-brother, R. L. Webb, of San Francisco, also survive.

Sam Gore began his business life in Atchison in a partnership
with F. F. Dilgert in the confectionery business in the store
near Seventh and Commercial street now occupied by Frank Rizzo.
After selling his interest to Mr. Dilgert, he and Mrs. Gore had
charge of the Union Depot news stand for ten years, and for three
years operated the Union Depot hotel and lunch room.  Mr. Gore's
first venture in the smoke house and cigar business was in the
building now occupied by the Weatherford Smoke House.  He sold
that business to Warren McCaskill and Otto Teague, from whom the
Weatherford Brothers acquired it.

The body is at the Harnoff Funeral home.  Funeral arrangements
have not been made, pending word from Mr. Webb in San Francisco.
