GUILE MOORE of Winterset Dies

Winterset Madisonian
December 8, 1965

Guile E. Moore, a barber in Winterset for half a century and one of the most well-known residents of this community, died Monday, December 6, 1965, at Memorial hospital here. He was 72 years of age.

Mr. Moore was a native of the Oak Grove community in Webster township, where he was born May 27, 1893, a sons of Elmer and Nora Coffman Moore. He started in the barber trade at Anita, but came to Winterset about 50 years ago, and had lived here since that time.

During most of that half century in Winterset, he engaged in the barber trade, although for a number of years he operated a dry cleaning business here. He had been retired in recent years, but worked part time until about a month ago.

He was a member of the Methodist Church and was affiliated with the Masonic lodge in Winterset.

Mr. Moore was married Oct. 28, 1914, to Ona Belle Hoots of Winterset. They were parents of two daughters. The wife and mother died Feb. 10, 1920.

On March 2, 1922, he was married to Adelaide McCleary of Winterset, who survives him.

In addition to his wife, he leaves the two daughters, Mrs. Peter J. Beiner of Riverside, Ill., and Mrs. John Baldridge of Batavia; a step-son, Robert Mills of Winterest, seven grandchildren; three great grandchildren; and a brother Edgar Moore of Macksburg.

Funeral services were to be held at 2 p.m. this Wednesday from the Wilson Funeral Home conducted by the Rev. Everett Burham, pastor of the First Methodist Church of Winterset. Burial was to be made in the Winterset Cemetery.
