FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS ARE BEING MADE - JUDGE MOORE WAS PRESENT AT SURRENDER OF GENERAL LEE - HE WAS ACTING COLONEL
Judge John B. Moore, soldier and former South Carolina legislator, died last night at 11:05 o'clock at his home here. He had been failing rapidly in health for some time. He was almost 92 years old. Funeral arrangements are being made and will be under direction of J. D. McNary & Son.
Judge Moore was born in South Carolina in March, 1835. He attended South Carolina schools and later the University of Virginia. After passing the bar examinations he practiced law in Anderson, South Carolina.
On the outbreak of the Civil War, Judge Moore joined the Confederate forces, serving at first as captain, then as major, and finally acting as colonel.
Judge Moore was with Stonewall Jackson and was at the surrender of General Robert E. Lee in Virginia. He was a member of both houses of the South Carolina legislature.
He married Miss Clara J. Jones, a member of a prominent Georgia family. Mrs. Jones' family lost seventy-five slaves at the end of the war. Forty-two or forty-three years ago the Moore's came to California, settling in Colusa.
For almost forty years Mr. Moore served as justice of the peace here. Judge Moore was a prominent citizen, a good soldier, and was an able worker in public life.
Judge Moore is survived by one sister, Mrs. E. M. Brown of Los Angeles, and by the following sons and daughters: J. W. Moore of Sacramento, Mrs. C. A. Deligne of San Francisco, Mrs. F. M. Davis of Colusa, and Pammy Moore of Colusa.
