Research Notes

from Arkadelphia to visit his sister, Mrs. Rem Smith, and who was a very sick man on his arrival, died early Thursday morning of last week. Funeral services were held at the residence of Mr. Smith Saturday morning at 10 o’clock, conducted by Rev. J.J. Vaulx of Fayetteville, after which the remains were interred in Bluff cemetery. In speaking of the death of Mr. Moore the Fayetteville Daily says: Mr. Moore came with his father to Fayetteville a few years before the war and was associated with his brother, the late Col. E.B. Moore, in publication of the Fayetteville Democrat, which they established in 1868. In 1884 he moved to Little Rock where he held a position in the Secretary of State’s office and since then he has been an attache of the Arkadelphia Standard. He came up to Springdale last week with the hope of benefitting his health which was undermined with malaria. Mr. Moore possessed a bright mind and was a most companionable man and the citizens of Fayetteville who knew him are deeply grieved that he is no more. He leaves a brother, Mr. D.G. Moore of this city, and three sisters - Mrs. Rem Smith and Mrs. Emma Roll of Springdale and Mrs. M.C. Jackson of Denver. To Mrs. Smith and other relatives of the deceased The News tenders sympathy.
