John T. Moore, 56, dies at home on Auburn Street, Today

Death today took JohnT. Moore, 804 Auburn street, well known citizen and one of the organizers of the Garfield Mission.

He passed away p[eacefully about 2 a.m.

Mr. Moore was born in Morgan County, Ky., February 9, 1875, being 56 years old at the time of death. He was united in marriage to Elizabeth Barker, December 10, 1896, and to that union eight children were born, one of whom died in infancy.

The family removed to Middletown in 1905, Mr. Moore taking a prominent part in church adn civic affairs since that time.

The seven surviving children are: Mrs. Ray duhamel, this city; Mrs. Howard Butler, Dayton, O., Mrs. Samuel Houser, this city; Mrs. Wilburn Bybee, Kysemantown, Ky.; Earl Moore, tthis city; Mrs. Abner Smith, this city; Dorothy Moore at the home. These together with the widow, Mrs. Moore will feel the loss keeenly. He also leaves 12 grandchildren and six brothers. The brothers are Joseph and Everett of Kentucky; Luther, of Dayton; Curtis of Louisiana, and Kelly and Bascom, of this city.

Mr. Moore was a member of the Jr. O.U.A.M., and of the D. of A. He united with the local Methodist Protestant church under the pastorate of Rev. B. F. McKinnon and was a collaborator with himn and others in the formation of the Garfield Mission, being a trustee of the Mission for many years. His work in this city was that of fireman, first for aboutt 17 years at the Oglesby Paper company and recently at the Y.M.C.A.

Mr. Moore was one of Middletown's dependable citizens and was well liked by all who knew him. He bore himself well during the arduous ordeal of suffering through which he has passed. He was patient and hopeful and resigned. Though he desired to get well, he expressed the conviction that he was ready to go when the call came. For several years he was the teacher of the Otterbein Sunday school class at the Methodist Protestant church and as such greatly endeared himself to the members of the Sunday school and class. The church has lost avaluable member, the home a fond husband and father, and the community a citizen of the character that makes for moral fabric.
