  LT. EDWARD L. MOORE KILLED
  
  New Bloomfield Soldier Boy Gives Life for Country in France
  
    Lt. Edward L. Moore, a son of Dr. E. E. Moore, of New Bloomfield, and well 
  known in this city, made the supreme sacrifice in France according to word 
  reaching relatives in his home town and Altoona.
    The Perry county Democrat of January 8 published the following concerning 
  the young officer's death:
    Word was received last Wednesday by Dr. E. E. Moore that his son, Lieut. 
  Edward L. Moore had been killed in action on September 30th.  Dr. and Mrs. 
  Moore have feared this news for some time as they had not heard from their son 
  for a long time and it was upon inquiry to the Adjutant General that the 
  information was gotten.
    Lieutenant Moore was a member of the 39th infantry.  Over two years ago he 
  joined the regular army and saw service on the Mexican border.  He later 
  entered the officers' training camp at Camp Oglethorpe, Ga., where he was 
  commissioned a second lieutenant.  Last May he was sent to France.  Lieutenant 
  Moore was a graduate of the High school and of the Academy in this place.  He 
  also spent a year at West Point Military Academy.  He was a member of the 
  Presbyterian church and was the fourth one of the fourteen members in the 
  service to lose his life for his country.  Lieutenant Moore was very popular 
  with the younger set in this place, being of a cheerful disposition.  He was 
  quite an athlete and for one season was catcher on the State College baseball 
  team.  Lieutenant Moore was 25 years of age.
