Services Are Held For P.G. Moore.
Funeral services for P.G. MOORE, 57, were held in the Presbyterian church of
Burlingame on Saturday afternoon, August 17, at two o'clock. In the absence of
the pastor, Lawrence Almond of the Methodist church conducted the service. The
music was furnished by Fred Cones and Harry Harkness, with Mrs. W. G. Beale at
the organ. Burial was made in Foster cemetery near Topeka, where Mr. Cones sang
the hymn, "Good Night" by Ira B. Sankey at the committal service.
Mr. Moore had been in failing health for the past three years and an invalid for
several months. His death at his home northwest of Burlingame on Thursday night,
August 15, came as a release from his constant suffering.
Pheasant Griffith MOORE, son of Mr. and Mrs. John C. Moore, was born in
Northamptonshire, England, April 21, 1883. He came to America with his parents
and older brother, William, when one year of age and lived near Pauline, Kans.,
and in the Six Mile neighborhood until 18 years ago, when he moved with his
family to the farm where his death occurred.
He was united in marriage ot Miss Ora CALLAHAM of Topeka on April 21, 1909.
Three children were born to this union: John C., Kenneth P., and Helen Olive all
of the home. He is survived by his widow, three children; his mother, Mrs. Annie
B. Moore of Six Mile; a brother, William J. Moore of Burlingame; a sister, Mrs.
Ruby BENHAM and a brother, Edward Moore both of Six Mile. Another sister, Mrs.
Catherine MAUS, passed away in 1920 and his father in 1922. Several nieces and
nephews also survive.
Mr. Moore united with the Presbyterian church at Auburn while a young man,
transferring his membership to the Burlingame church when he moved to this
locality, and in which he was a faithful attendent when health permitted.
He was a loving and devoted husband and father and was highly esteemed in the
communities in which he lived. He had served as treasurer of Fairplan Grange and
was a member of the school board in District No. 110 for a number of years.
