James B. Moore

MOORE, James B. - Deputy State Land Commissioner James B. Moore, whose critical illness was announced a few days ago, died a few minutes after 11 o'clock last night at his home on Rock, between Fourth and Fifth Streets, surrounded by friends and relatives who had tenderly cared for him during his illness. His death resulted from Bright's disease, of which he

had been a sufferer for some time.

He remained in an unconscious condition from early yesterday morning up to the time of his death, and died without knowing of the presence of friends and relatives at his bedside. He leaves three brothers, Col. E.B. Moore and Messrs. W.B. and D.G. Moore, all of this city, who are offered every condolence by their many friends.

The deceased was born in White County, Tennessee and was 56 years of age. He removed to Arkansas with his father W.W. Moore, in 1858, and located in Fayetteville. He served during the war in the Confederate army. Some ten years ago he entered the State Land Office as a clerk under Col. W.P. Campbell, and served in the same capacity under the late Col. Paul M.

Cobbs. When Hon. Ben Meyers was appointed Land Commissioner to fill out the unexpired term of Col. Cobbs, he made Mr. Moore his deputy.

He was past master of the Magnolia Lodge of Masons, and also a member of Little Rock Lodge, Knights of Honor. - Little Rock Democrat of 61 h inst. [Fayetteville Democrat 211111892]
