Samuel Moore, an old resident of LeClaire, Iowa, passed away at 2:30 o'clock Thursday afternoon at his home in LeClaire, after a lingering illness of heart trouble and other complications. He was 73 years of age.

Mr. Moore was born in August, 1836, near Marietta, O., and served during the Civil War in an Ohio regiment. He was married soon after the war to an Illinois lady; and settled in LeClaire shortly thereafter. He has made his home there ever since, and was employed in the boat yards the greater part of the time.

Besides his wife, three sons and four daughters survive him, as follows: Samuel of Clinton, Robert of LeClaire, Hobart of Davenport, Mrs. William Slabby of Iowa City, Mrs. W. Young of Fort Madison, Mrs. Frank Sanders of LeClaire and Miss Bessie Moore at home.

The funeral announcements will be made later.
