FORREST MOORE DIES
One of the Foremost Citizens of Sherman Passes Away Sunday Evening
Forrest Moore, one of the best known and most highly regarded men in Sherman, died Sunday evening about 7
o'clock, aged 51 years.  Mr. Moore had been ill for some months but his condition became grave recently and
fears had been entertained by his friends.  Still, his death came as a heavy blow to many who had been life-
long friends, and he is mourned by all who knew him.
Surviving Mr. Moore are his widow and 2 sons, Weldon and Bedford.  He is also survived by 3 brothers, Dr.
Douglas Moore and Breckenridge Moore of Van Alstyne; Dr. H.L. Moore of Dallas; and by a sister, Mrs.
Chowning Pritchett of Van Alstyne.
Services were conducted at the home, 523 S. Travis street, yesterday afternoon at 1:30, by Rev. Geo. F.
Cuthrell, pastor of the Central Christian Church.  The remains were taken to Van Alstyne, the funeral party
leaving at 2:35, and interment was made in the family burying ground.
Mr. Moore was reared at Van Alstyne, his father coming there from Kentucky and grew to manhood among friends of is boyhood days, all of whom remained his firmest friends in later years.  They grew to manhood with him and
many of them are leading business men of Van Alstyne and Sherman, and the ties of friendship were never
broken.  Those who knew him best loved him most.  He won and held the regard and respect of all his
associated in every walk of life.
To all men he was kind and helpful ever ready, always generous.  He helped many men to get a start in life,
without ostentation, always remaining modest and unassuming.  The world is better for his having lived in it
and there are many who will sorrow sincerely that he cannot be with them again in this life.
The deepest sympathy of all is extended to the bereaved family.
