Obituary

Jehu Moore was born in Belmont county, Ohio, on December 1st, 1833, where he resided till 1856, when on August 7, he was married to Miss M. Owen Brown, who now survives him, and with whom he proceeded on the 8th of the following month to the land of the far west, settling in Madison county, where he has ever lived until the close of a useful and eventful life, which occurred on Sunday, July 20th, at one o’clock, at his home in Scott township, falling to sleep, surrounded by his entire family consisting of a wife and five daughters who now mourn their irretrievable loss.

Brother Moore joined the M. E. church in 1863, and no one could be more deeply interested in its movements or have a more single eye to its prosperity, or more zealously, unremittingly and cheerfully aid, so far as possible, in every conceivable way to forward its enterprise and encourage the varied departments of church work. The church in the death of this brother, has sustained most truly an irreparable loss, but his last hours were peaceful and his death glorious.

A friend said to him on Saturday; “Brother Moore, if you cannot speak at the time of dissolving nature give us a signal of the uplifted hand, whereby we may know of your ultimate triumph.” Accordingly true to purpose with the revivified instincts of a once sanctified but now otheralized soul, he waved high both hands as did the crusaders of old, when entering the holy land, and almost immediately thereafter passed away.
