'Uncle Charlie' Moore, 93, Dies; Buried At Osage

"Uncle Charlie" Moore, last of a large pioneer family and virtually the last reminder of the once-active little village of Osage, died last Thursday, Feb 13, shortly after his arrival at Youens Hospital

He was buried Saturday n the cemetery at Osage, the community that was his home for all of his 93 years. Services were held at Hubbard Funeral Home, with the Methodist pastor, Rev. Howard MacAllister, officiating.

Pallbearers were Henry and Gus __imon of Houston; Guy Yachel and __. C. Hopper of El Campo; Lee Graves of Eagle Lake; and Willie Taylor of Weimar.

The youngest of 12 children of James B. and Winnie Moore, Charles Barnett Moore was born May 22, 1865, at Osage and spent his lifetime there. He had moved only once in his life, when a storm damaged his home and new one was built a short distance away, still on the Moore homestead place. A bachelor, he lived alone, did his own cooking and kept his home in meticulous order.

He enjoyed his independence, but he also enjoyed the frequent visits of friends and the 10 nieces and 4 nephews who are his only survivors.

Even in his last years he could recall vivid details of Osage in the time when it had two stores, three doctors, a blacksmith shop, a dance hall, a school and a church. Upstairs in the church was the meeting place of Masonic Lodge No. 301, parent lodge of No. 423 here. Mr. Moore remembered the community's first school building, the first of five built. The last one now is on the Weimar Public School campus and serves as a band hall.

Mr. Moore's parents were one of 36 families that came in a wagon train from Holly Springs, Miss., in 1885 [1855] to settle in Osage. The settlement had been begun four years earlier by the Tom Hubbard family and was named in about 1856 by Dr. Sam McLeary, who was postmaster at the time. Osage at about the turn of the century was the annual scene of a religious camp meeting, when families came and camped for a week or two while a series of services were held. As an active participant in these gatherings "Uncle Charlie" Moore received a foundation in religious philosophy that led him to enjoy living every day in his long life.

Weimar, April 21

It is with the greatest feelings of sadness that we are compelled to note the demise of Mrs. F. D. Moore of near Osage, which occurred April 14 at her home, surrounded by members of the family and intimate friends. Mrs. Moore was in her 61st year, a consistent member of the Methodist church for many years, and never tired of doing good towards all mankind, and laboring constantly for the Master's cause. This good lady was laid to rest in the family lot of the Osage cemetery last Thursday, the funeral procession being largely attended, many friends from Weimar being in attendance, Rev. Worrell, officiating. To the distressed husband, children and other relatives this correspondent and the Citizen extend their deepest condolence.

One of this Section's Honored Men Dies

It was known definitely early last week that Mr. F. D. Moore of the Osage community was a very sick man, and that at his advanced age, 91 years, there was little chance of recovery. But friends and family hoped against hope that his usual fortitude would again pull him through.

However, it was a vain hope. That body and energy that had pulled him through life for 91 years was fagged out. Like a piece of machinery that had served its day of usefulness, Mr. Moore succumbed to the inevitable, and his poor, tired body laid down to enjoy that rest that will come to each of us in the end.

Friday afternoon about 2 o'clock word was brought to town that he had passed away. Funeral arrangements were made, and after appropriate services at the family residence, the remains were committed to mother earth Saturday afternoon by the side of other loved ones gone on before, in the Osage Cemetery, Revs. J. H. E. Willmann and W. L. Hightower, Methodist ministers, officiating.

There were many beautiful floral emblems, and a large attendance of mourning relatives and friends, for Mr. Moore had lived in this section so long that he was known and highly regarded by all who knew him.

Mr. Moore was born May 1, 1846, in Mississippi. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Moore. He moved to Texas when only 9 years old, and lived in this vicinity up to the time of his death. The Moore family purchased land in the Osage section soon after arrival here, the purchased tract being kept intact and in possession of the Moore family ever since, probably the only tract in this section possessing such a record. During his early days he united with the Methodist Church and lived in that faith up to the time of his death.

In the war between the states Mr. Moore was a member of Deshield's Battery, Crunbar's Battalion, and served with gallantry and distinction until the close of the struggle. He returned to his home in the Osage section in May, 1865.

He was united in marriage to Miss Elizabeth Goode Aug. 24, 1870. To this union two daughters were born, Mrs. Lucy Ricks of Damon and Mrs. Emma Pressley[sic] of Weimar. His good wife preceded him in death many years ago. Besides his two daughters, he is survived by nine grandchildren, ten great-grandchildren and three great-great-grandchildren; also one brother, Mr. Chas. Moore, and one sister, Mrs. Ida Hicks. At the time of his death he was 91 years, 1 month and 10 days old.

Mr. Drake Moore was well and favorably known to the people of this section. A quiet, upright, good citizen, possessing a splendid memory of past events, he was a welcome visitor in every gathering. He was for many years prominently connected with Masonry, being one of the oldest members of that order in this part of Texas, and in his earlier days was an active figure in all civic affairs of this section. At one time in life he was employed by the old mercantile firm of Kindred & McCormick of this city. Throughout his long life he ever possessed the respect and highest esteem of his fellowmen wherever he was known. He was a devoted husband and father, a kindly, true neighbor and friend, and his passing is viewed with keen regret. Peace to his memory!

Moore, Ike

IKE MOORE MURDERED.--About 10 o’clock last Thursday night, while on his way towards home, Ike Moore, a colored man, was set upon by Henry Simmons and Jim Walker, also colored, and killed. The deed was committed just south of the jail, near the new residence now being erected for Mr. Steiner. Suspicion rested on Simmons and Walker, from threats each had been heard to make during the day against Ike, and they were arrested and jailed. Some witnesses to the tragedy were also threatened, in case they divulged the horrible secret. Justice Putney held an inquest on the deceased, which lasted four days, and from the unpromising beginning, the testimony of these threatened witnesses enabled the jury to find a verdict to the effect that Ike Moore met his death at the hands of Henry Simmons and Jim Walker. It appears they waited at the spot until Moore came along and was leaning against a tree vomiting, when Henry hit him in the head with a stone, causing death. Walker took his purse and pocket knife. Several witnesses corroborated the above facts. An examining trial will be held to-day. [Place of interment unknown]

Moore, Unknown (child)

There was a female negro child about 3 years old murdered last Friday out near the Navidad, about tour miles west of Weimar. It seems that on last Friday, while all the darkies were celebrating the 19th, the husband of Mollie Moore, a negro woman, refused to let her go, and In revenge probably the woman either threw the child (her step-daughter) out of the house, or In some way broke its neck. The body was brought to Weimar, and buried, but was afterwards taken up and an examination made by Dr. Sam McLeary, who at once pronounced that the child's neck had been broken. The woman was arrested and placed in jail at Schulenburg. The crime was committed in Fayette county, just across the line. [Place of interment unknown]
