Tyrone
James Henry Moore.

  After being an inmate for but one week of the Hahnemann hospital of 
Philadelphia, James Henry Moore, for many years a familiar figure about 
town, died at 8 o'clock yesterday morning, from diabetes which followed 
a general breakdown.  "Jimmy," as he was familiarly known by his many 
friends, had been on the decline for some time past but continued at 
his regular work until about two weeks ago, when he was compelled to 
seek heroic treatment.  At one time he worked at the local car shops 
and later at the paper mill but for the past thirteen years he was 
employed at the F. J. Mowry cafe on Pennsylvania avenue.  He was born 
at Harrisburg, February 21, 1880, and came here in 1894.  He was 
married in 1901 to Miss Gertrude Stauffer, who died July 14, 1911.  He 
leaves three children - Florence, Edgar and Robert - who, with their 
father, had been making their home with a cousin, Mrs. J. C. D'Arment, 
of Riverside avenue, Tyrone.  Deceased was a member of Sinking Spring 
lodge No. 127, Knights of Pythias; Blazing Arrow tribe No. 460, 
I.O.R.M., and of the Knights of Khorassan.  He was a member of the New 
Century club, one of the town's well known social organizations for 
young men.  The remains will arrive in town today.  Funeral services 
will be held from the D'Arment home, the time of which will be 
announced later.
