General Notes: Husband - William Moore

---

He was of Scotch-Irish descent. His par­ents emigrated from Ireland in the same ship while quite young, before their marriage. He was brought up in the faith of the old Seceder Church, and enjoyed such religious instruc­tion and training as pious parents of that day could give. His early life was spent in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania, in rural pursuits. In 1835 he came to Pittsburgh, where he was em­ployed for several years at rough carpenter work. In 1837 he married, and they soon afterward moved to a farm near Leechburg, Armstrong County, Pennsylvania, where Mr. Moore resided until his death.
Shortly after his settlement in Armstrong County he united with the Presbyterian Church at Free­port. Upon the organization of the Pres­byterian Church at Leechburg he transferred his membership to the new body and was chosen a ruling elder, which position he held until his death.
Mr. Moore was diffident, and retiring in his disposition, yet he was very social with those whom he knew well. He always extended a cordial hospitality to all who came under his roof, and his attachment to friends was warm and lasting. He was a man of piety and ac­customed to secret devotion, and often, espe­cially during his latter years, he was found alone in communion with his heavenly father. God's law was the guide of his life and His Sabbaths were a delight to him.
As a citizen he was highly esteemed in the community in which he lived so long. As a Christian his character was beyond reproach. As a husband and father he was loved and revered in his home. As an officer of the church he was prompt and efficient to the ex­tent of his ability. He was very prompt and careful in all his business relations and lit­erally carried out the apostle's injunction “owe no man anything.” His life was full of bless­ing and his end was peace. On Tuesday even­ing, after coming in from his usual work, he took suddenly ill. He was bet­ter, however, and continued better until the following Satur­day evening, when he was again seized with a violent pain in the region of the heart. He now felt that his end was drawing near. He had no fear of death. After giving some directions about his business and pious counsel to all present, and bidding his wife and children an affectionate farewell, he gently fell asleep. He was survived by his wife and five children, all grown up. Mr. Moore was in his seventy-third year. [HAC 1914, 443]
