Fred Wallace Moore

MOORE, Fred - A telegram was received here Monday bringing the

sad intelligence of the death of Fred, the eldest son of Col. and Mrs. E.B.

Moore, which occurred at 3 o’clock that morning in Little Rock. Though his

death was not unexpected it brings no less grief to the friends and relatives

of the family in this city which was long their home. It is not enough to say

that Fred was a good boy, he possessed in more than an ordinary degree

the noble traits of both head and heart that always makes friends of the

best of people and inevitably leads to exalted citizenship. This worthy young

man fell a prey to consumption and has been cut down on the threshold of

a useful life. The Gazette refers to his untimely death as follows: His loving

parents exhausted every method known to science to restore him to health

and sent him where he could breathe the fresh air of the mountains but all

their efforts were futile for death had marked him for his own and on

yesterday placed upon him his cold and icy seal. The deceased was nineteen

years of age and his noble character and generous impulses obtained for

him many friends who will sorely grieve when they hear of his death. His

funeral takes place this afternoon at 3 o’clock from the family residence,

Rev. Father Callahan oEciating. [Fayetteville Democrat 11/22/1889]
