Davies, unless otherwise noted. Date: 20 June 2004 Source: Winnfield News-American, unless otherwise stated. February 4, 1927 Rev. L. W. Moore Former Citizen Dies In Minden Life Characterized by Devotion to Chosen Work News of the death of Luther William Moore, which sad event occurred at his home in Minden, Saturday, January 22, at 1:20 p.m., caused widespread grief here, where for more than twelve years, he was a beloved citizen and a faithful member of the First Baptist Church, serving loyally and efficiently as Sunday School teacher and as church clerk. His fatal illness was of only two week's duration, though for practically seven years he had been a shut-in. Mr. Moore was born in Powhatan County, Virginia, August 5, 1837 and was 89 years, 6 months, and 17 days old at the time of his death. When a mere infant, his parents removed to Chesterfield, Virginia, where Luther William spent his young life, acquiring his early education in the several schools of his neighborhood, entering Richmond College in October, 1852, where he remained for three sessions, later attending the University of Virginia. In 1852, in Rocky Oak, a Methodist Church in _____atan County, Virginia, Mr. Moore was converted under the preaching of a Mr. Cole, Presiding Elder, and accepted Jesus Christ as his savior. At Liberty Church, Powhatan County, in 1862, Mr. Moore was ordained to the ministry, and from that time on his activities were centered on constructive work, preaching and teaching, giving material assistance where needed to aid any towards higher education and achievement, one of his pupils to whom he gave material aid is now Professor of Chemistry in Johns Hopkins University. Besides being a preacher and teacher, Mr. Moore was a writer and for many years wrote the editorials for the Religious Herald, the Baptist state paper of Virginia. Though Mr. Moore is no longer here in person, his work goes on, and many parentless children have occasion to rise up and call him blessed because of the invaluable aid he has been instrumental in giving to the work now being done by Louisiana Baptists for the orphan children under their care. It was into his fertile brain the idea first came that a regular monthly offering from every Sunday School of the state would be a solution to the problem of funds so necessary for the support of the orphanage work. The thought was father of the deed and immediately he began to advocate this method in personal conversation and through the columns of the Baptist Message and as a result of his suggestion, practically all the food for the 173 children now in the Baptist Children's Home at Monroe is supplied by regular monthly offerings from the Sunday Schools of the denomination. On account of impaired health, after four years as pastor, Mr. Moore resigned the care of Bethel Church, Virginia, in 1867 and went to Florida hoping to regain his health in the climate of that state. After his eighteen month's stay in Lake City, Florida, where he was engaged in teaching school and supplying for absent pastors, he returned to Chesterfield and in connection with his work as a teacher, resumed his pastoral work. ===== In 1882, he retired from the pastorate and in Chesterfield County opened a school for boys, known as the Homestead Academy. It was in the capacity of teacher that he came to Louisiana, first, in 1893, and was connected with Mt. Lebanon College as instructor of Latin and English. After four years he returned to Virginia, stayed two years and came back to Mt. Lebanon, where he remained until 1908, at which time he retired from his activities as a teacher and with his family moved to Winnfield, resided here until about seven years ago, he went to Minden where he lived until his death two weeks ago. Mr. Moore was married three times, his last marriage was on July 6, 1887, to Miss Mary Elizabeth Carter, who with their two sons, L. C. Moore, of Minden, and C. J. Moore, of Little Rock, with the children of his former marriages, survive him. They are: Mrs. H. Swann, of Trenholm, Virginia, Fred Moore and Mrs. R. A. Carter, of Richmond, Virginia, and Mrs. J. L. Liggin of Springhill. Dr. Frank Tripp, pastor of the First Baptist Church, Minden, of which the deceased was a member, assisted by Dr. J. R. Edwards, of Ruston, a former pastor and friend of long standing, conducted the funeral at the First Baptist Church, Minden, at three p. m. Sunday, January 23, with interment in the Minden Cemetery at 4 o'clock. No greater tribute can be paid any man than was paid Rev. Luther William Moore by Dr. Edwards when he said, "Bro. Moore was a man of high ideals; he was pure in heart; he was clean in life, and his actions were motivated by a spirit of gentleness, kindness, and love."
