MOORE
J.H. Moore, M.D.
Saturday night at 12 o'clock the venerable Dr. James Harrison Moore one of the most prominent men in social and business life here, passed peacefully into the Great Beyond. For weeks the shadow had hovered above the white head, and his family and friends had watched in suspense and dread the moment for it to fall. It came at the turn of the night when the old day died and a new was born, and on the wings of the midnight wind the soul of a philanthropist, a gentleman, a scholar, and a man of parts, was borne outward and upward beyond the things of earth. The funeral service occurred Monday afternoon at the First Presbyterian church, of which the deceased was a senior elder. They were conducted by Dr. J. G. Hunter, whose remarks were touching and appropriate, after which the remains were laid in Spring Hill cemetery beside those of his beloved wife, who died about five years ago. The funeral was largely attended, many friends expressing their sorrow by beautiful floral tributes. His pall-bearers were six of his grandchildren, whose tender hands lifted the casket as a last service of love. The deacons and elders of the church of which he had been so long a devoted member, preceded the casket down the aisle and to the grave. The magnificent organ, on which the last requiem for him was played, was one which he had given to the church several years ago in memory of his wife. He was a man whose purse was always open for those in want or distress, and his wealth enabled him to do many deeds of charity of which the world knew naught, but which make his name a benediction in many a distressed household. Dr. Moore was born near Danville, Kentucky, October 3, 1819, being a son of Lawson Moore and Jane Murry Rochester. He was educated at Centre College, his father being one of the founders of that institution, and afterwards attended the Transylvania Medical College in Lexington, graduating from there in 1841 with the degree of M. D. He began practicing in Warren county, Miss. During his five years residence there he was married to Mrs. Mary Foster. A few years later he returned to Kentucky and began practicing his profession at Harrodsburg, but gave it up to go into business with his brother, Collins Moore. He has always been a successful farmer and trader and exceptional fine business man. He was one of the principal organizers of the Mercer National Bank, and for many years was its president. When he resigned the position because of his age, the honor was conferred upon Hon D. L. Moore, who was his only surviving son as Bacon R. Moore, his other son, died a number of years ago. He leaves a large number of grandchildren. They are Messrs. D. B. Moore, McBrayer Moore, J. H. Moore, Jr., D. L. Moore, Jr., John B. Moore, Bacon R. Moore, Miss Mary Bacon Moore, Anita, Minnie, Mrs. Whildon, Mrs. M. W. Bartlett and Mrs. John S. Davenport. Dr. Moore represented this county in the Constitutional Convention.
