Anderson Moore died at his home in southwest Winterset Jan. 27, after an illness of about four weeks.

Deceased came with his parents to Iowa in 1852 and settled 8 miles south of Winterset, where he continued to live until a few years ago, when he moved to town. He was married to Mary Duncan of Winterset. To them were born five children, of which three survive him: Wm. Moore, of Detroit, Mich.; Mrs. John Furrow, of Mullen, Neb.; Mrs. Sam Rogers, of Winterset. The widow is also left to tarry a few years longer.

Mr. Moore united with the Christian church in early life and while he had not been an attendant for a number of years, his life exemplified that of a Christian.

Mr. Moore volunteered Aug 28, in Co. F. 4th Iowa Inf. He was wounded in the left thigh and foot at the siege of Vicksburg, Dec. 28, and had to be carried from the front. He was honorably discharged in June of 1863. As a soldier he was true to the cause he fought to defend. As a citizen he was broad in his vision of the needs of those about him. As a Christian, emphasis was placed more upon deeds than words.

Funeral services were held at the home Wednesday, Jan. 29, conducted by Rev. A. C. Grafton, pastor of the Christian church and the body was laid to rest in Rock City cemetery.
