THOMAS MOORE

  Thomas Moore died at his home, Thirteenth and Warmsprings avenue, on 
Tuesday, Oct. 22nd, at 1.30 p.m. from afflictions due principally to 
advanced age, being aged at time of death 78 years, 2 month and 9 days.  
He was born in Ireland, where he was united in marriage to Miss Annie 
Allen, a sister of Samuel Allen of this place.  Together with his wife 
and six children, the family came to America in the summer of 1868, and 
located in Huntingdon, where they have since resided.  His wife 
preceded him to the grave 46 years ago, since which time he had made 
his home with his children.  Mr. Moore was a farmer and contractor, and 
worked regularly until about seven months ago, when he became ill as a 
result of his advanced years.  He was well known in Huntingdon and was 
a highly respected gentleman.  He was a consistent member of the 
Fifteenth Street M. E. church.  He is survived by three sons and four 
daughters as follows: Miss Mary and William Moore, at home; Mrs. Sarah, 
wife of George Welfley, of Niagara Falls, N.Y.; John and Gilbert Moore; 
Mrs. Elizabeth, wife of M. J. Gernert, and Mrs. Ann, wife of David 
Prough, all of Huntingdon.  The funeral services were conducted at his 
late home on Thursday afternoon at 2.30 by the Rev. John Horning, of 
Fourteenth street with interment in Riverview cemetery.
