MOORE— In German township, October 6, Mr. AARON MOORE, aged 94 years and three months. His wife, Mary, who is now living, was born the same month and the same day of the month, and is nine years younger. They lived together 69 years.
Ada Kiger MOORE died in 1937. Her obit was contributed to the Fayette County
USGenWeb Project.(2)
...a dimly-lit room in Uniontown hospital Thursday night, was the unseen witness
and uninvited guest at a wedding ceremony that gave a bride the happiest day
of her life just 24 hours before she peacefully passed away.
Propped high in her hospital bed, which she had occupied for 14 days, Ada Kiger
Moore, 49, of 154 Fayette street, Morgantown, W. Va., took the vows that made
her the wife of Wayland Birch, well-known Point Marion man.
Flowers of the sick room furnished a colorful background for the nuptials.
Across the counterpane lay a spray of gladiolas-the bride's bouquet.
At the foot of the bed stood Marion Kiger, Morgantown, brother of the woman,
and Lester, Patton, Pittsburgh, brother-in-law, as witnesses.
Dr. William Blake Hindman, pastor of Uniontown First Presbyterian church, stood
near as he intoned the words that united the couple. The ring was slipped over
her finger. The benediction pronounced.
And death temporarily withdrew as smiles of happiness shone from the fame of
the woman who had murmured:
"Why postpone our marriage? I had planned it. And, it would
give me a lot of satisfaction if we didn't delay our plans."
"This is the happiest day of my life," the bride whispered to the group
who, alone, knew that the end was not far off but who bravely held back the tears
that threatened to overflow as they realized her happiness was to be short-lived.
"I'm glad we didn't put it off," Mrs. Birth reiterated. "It
has made me so happy."
Twenty-four hours later-to the very hour- she died, carrying with her still the
smile that had shone so brightly as she took the vows.
Mrs. Birch, who husband is editor of The Point Marion News, was for the last
35 years an employe of Western Union Telegraph Company in Morgantown, having
succeeded her father, the late George Kiger, to the management of the office
following his death in 1927.
She had planned her marriage to Mr. Birch for June. On April 27 she entered
Uniontown hospital for a major operation. Peritonitis developed and attending
physicians informed relatives of her critical condition.
When she told them she wished to avoid any delay in her wedding plans - although
she did not intimate realization that she might not recover - they co-operated
with her.
"It would give me so much satisfaction," she told them. And they
spurred efforts that would culminate in the wedding she had been so carefully
planning.
A graduate of Morgantown high school in the class of 1906, Mrs. Birch devoted
her life to her family, always cherishing their ideals and ambitions and never
failing to offer a willing hand when opportunity came her way. She was a devout
member of the Presbyterian church.
From last Monday morning until the time of her death she had been in a critical
condition and despite her gallant fight against the odds of infection she fought
a losing battle.
Born November 27, 1888, at Rohr, W. Va. She was the second child of George and
Ludema Shaffer Kiger. She was preceded in death by her father, on July
5, 1927.???

Col. Andrew MOORE died in 1852. His obit was contributed to the Fayette County
USGenWeb Project.(17)
Died, at his residence in Union township, on the 5th of August, 1852, Col. Andrew Moore, in the 77th year of his age.
The deceased was a native of this county-a first born son of the now mighty west. In the war of 1812 he led a company of citizen soldiers avidilty (?) every opportunity of serving his country. Whether it was to bridge a stream, pioneer a road, or meet the enemy, Cap. Moore was ever ready to serve as officer or private. In turn or out of turn, he was ready for service-a standing volunteer. It is, however, for the love he bore to God and his neighbors-for the regard, superior to self, which he bore to truth, justice, and honor, that he is chiefly to be admired; tho' of humble fortune, in these he was truly great, and without a superior.
His remains were interred on Friday last with military honors by a large assembly of mounting relatives and fellow citizens. [COM.]

Mary Elizabeth MORGAN died in 1862. Her obit was contributed to the Fayette
County USGenWeb Project.(49)
DIED
June 18, 1862, in the 30th year of her age, Miss MARY ELIZABETH, daughter of
Morris and Susannah Morgan, of North Union Township, Fayette county, Pennsylvania.
At an early age the deceased connected herself with the Frame Presbyterian Church,
under the pastoral care of Rev. Dr. Fairchild, but, by change of residence, has
been, for a number of years, in full communion with the church of Laurel Hill,
of which Rev. J. Stoneroad has pastoral supervision. So far as known to the writer,
her Christian life has been one of marked consistency. Constitutionally amiable
and gentle, the influence of a living piety threw additional interest around
her character, concentrating upon her the special esteem of all her acquaintances.
Though for many years the child of affliction, she bore it all with unwanted
patience. Her piety was marked by an humble, retiring spirit, rather than by
any tendency to parade. Her final illness was painful and protracted, and though
in it's earlier development, darkness and doubt hung over the horizon of the
future, yet for several weeks preceeding (sic) her decease, unmingled so****
in Jesus as her Almighty Redeemer, marked the entire remainder of her religious
experience. Her inward peace found frequent utterance in such expressions as
these, "When shall I see my Savior's face, and on his bosom rest."
"O death where is thy sting! O grave, where is thy victory." And when
she seemed to recover in a measure from the severe spasms of her disease, she
felt quite disappointed, "having a desire to depart and be with Christ,
which was far better." Disease now having accomplished its mission, she
fell softly asleep in the arms of death and awoke in glory. L.D.

Dearest Jeffy thou hast left us,
And thy loss we deeply feel,
It is God that hath bereft us,
He can all our sorrows heal.
We miss your smiling face,
You were your fathers joy your mothers pride.
No one can fill your place,
When we gather around the fireside.
Yet again we hope to meet you.
When the day of life has fled,
And in heaven with joy to greet you,
Where no farewell tear is shed.
You were lovely and you were fair,
And for a while you were given,
An Angel come and claimed his own,
And bore you home to heaven.

Frank Morris Doomed to Die Next Tuesday
The Gallows to Be the End of a Boy's Promising Career
Says He Will Go to the Scaffolds and Meet His Fate Like a Man
July 1st was the original date set for Morris' execution. The papers
relating to his trial and conviction were lost in the numerous pigeon-holes
about the Executive mansion at Harrisburg, and Governor Hastings was unusually
long in fixing a date to carry out the death sentence. The delay was such
that Morris' friends thought the Governor must have a very warm spot for
the young murderer, and they got up a petition, signed by over 1,000 names,
pleading for a commutation of sentence to life imprisonment on the score that
insanity was hereditary in Morris' family. The petition brought the case to
Governor Hastings' notice. He had the papers looked up and named July 1st
as the day for Morris to hang.
The attorneys for the defense then took up the matter, and succeeded in
obtaining a respite until September 1st. The Pardon Board has twice refused
to recommend Morris to the Governor's clemency, and his relatives have given
up hope of saving his life. Last week, Isaac Morris, the condemned boy's
father, visited the jail and bade his son farewell.
Since the first of the month Morris has been guarded in his cell day
and night by a death watch. He is allowed to walk around the jail corridors
for 20 minutes each morning and evening. He chafes under the solitary
confinement. Ever since his incarceration until August 1st he was allowed
the freedom of the jail. He posed as a champion boxer among the prisoners,
and was always glad to do odd jobs about the corriders (sic) for the exercise
and diversion there was in it.
Morris will be hanged on the same scaffold on which Taylor, Clark and
Eisiminger, the Greene county murderers, died. It has been borrowed from
the Greene county officials and is all ready to place in the east end of
the jail cage the day before the execution, which will be the first inside
the walls of Fayette's new jail. The last hanging at Uniontown was that of
John Metz, an Italian, about 12 years ago.
Owing to the preparation for the execution next Monday will not be
visitors' day and no one will be admitted on that day. Sheriff Chalfant
has decided to admit visitors from 1 to 4 P.M. to-morrow. Monday evening
the prisoners will be let out into the main corridor for exercise. They
will be in charge of deputies, and after a short promenade will be locked
up again till after the execution is over.
Mrs. Adeline, wife of J. A. Nedrow of Scottdale, who is a sister of
Frank P. Morris, the condemned man, and his brother, Maple S. Morris, spent
Tuesday morning in Uniontown. They conversed with their brother sometime.
They came to this place on the 2:13 P.M. southwest train and went to the
undertaking establishment of Morris & Company, where they made arrangements
for the funeral. A plain casket was ordered; necessarily a large one, for
Morris, though called the "boy murderer," is tall and heavy. On the day of
his execution Morris will be 19 years, 6 months and 8 days old. The casket
ordered will be taken to Uniontown on the 7:42 B. & O. train, Tuesday
morning. It will be placed in an empty cell till after the execution,
when Morris' body will be placed in it. No inquest or post mortem will be
held on the remains.
The execution will take place between 1:40 and 2:15 P.M. This arrangement
has been made to give the people holding tickets of admission from Brownsville
and Monongahela City to get from the depot to the jail. On account of this
arrangement the body cannot be brought to this place on the 3:13 Southwest
train, and will have to lie in the jail till the train departs which arrives
here at 5:53 P.M.
On its arrival here it will be placed in Morris & Company's morgue, where
it will be kept till Wednesday morning. In the meantime the casket will not
be opened to satisfy the curiosity of anyone. On Wednesday morning the remains
will be taken to Rich Hill Cemetery, a little burying ground about two miles
east of the Breakneck reservoir. There the mortal remains of Frank Morris,
the "boy murderer," will be given a final and peaceful incarceration, not
more than a mile from the scene of the savage crime which is to be the cause
of his ignominious end and the last long rest on his native hills.
The murder in expiation of which Frank Morris must give his young life
was a brutal one, committed two years ago. Bernard Loker was a German, who
tilled a small farm on the top of Chestnut Ridge above this place. This farm
Loker bought from Isaac Morris. Frank saw Loker pay his father the cash for
the farm and got it into his head that the old German was wealthy. He
accordingly waited until one date Loker was working about his log cabin
alone, when Morris stepped up behind and blew his brains out. He then
ransacked the house and secured $38. He was arrested the following day
and several times since has attempted to implicate others in his crime.
Morris was a dime novel fiend.

RANK MORRIS,
the boy murderer of Bernard Loker, who has attracted so much
attention since his incarceration will expiate his crime on the gallows
at Uniontown next Tuesday, September 1st. Morris has been the object of
much interest, not only from the fact that he is only 19 years old, but
because some desperate efforts have been made whereby he might cheat the
gallows, notably his daring attempt to escape by means of the "soup hole"
in the jail. His lawyers have been extremely active in bringing his case
before the Pardon Board and failing there doing everything possible to
stave off the fatal day in the hope of ultimately saving Morris' neck.

Elizabeth Sheppard MORROW ( -1910)
Grandsons Are Mrs. Morrow’s Pall Bearers
The funeral service over the body of Mrs. Elizabeth Sheppard Morrow who died at the home of her daughter, Mrs. George C. McGill, were held this morning from Mr. and Mrs. McGill’s residence in Dawson. The services were in charge of Rev. H. M. Carnahan, pastor of the Cochran Memorial Methodist Church, and the burial took place at the Wesley Chapel Methodist Episcopal Church Cemetery, west of Scottdale. Rev. Archibald Auld, pastor of that church assisted Rev. Mr. Carnahan. The interment was beside the body of Mrs. Morrow’s husband, the late John C. Morrow, who acquired the first lot when the Chapel Cemetery was opened many years ago, the family living in that locality for a number of years. The pall bearers selected were six grandsons of the deceased, one from each family, as follows: Samuel Morrow, son of the late Paoli Sheppard Morrow, Esq., of Uniontown; Walton Morrow, son of the late James Morrow, of Smithton; Claude Anderson, son of Mrs. Adeline Anderson, of New Salem; Charles Anderson, of Wellsville, O., son of Mrs. Hester A. Anderson, of Scottdale; Clarence Morrow, son of J. Caldwell Morrow, of Pittsburg; and John McGill, son of Mrs. Amanda McGill, of Dawson. J. Caldwell Morrow arrived from George on Sunday morning. A great many friends and neighbors called on Saturday evening and all day Sunday to pay their last respects. The Sunday a week previous was the 84th birthday anniversary of the deceased and a large number of postal cards with good wishes were sent her from all over the country. Then quite a number of Easter cards arrived on Saturday from those who did not know of Mrs. Morrow’s illness that that she would be gone on Easter Day, and the cards near the body, which was surrounded by sweet flowers, were mute messages of those to whom she was dear, people both old and young. The deceased was the widow of John C. Morrow who was born March 6, 1825, and died a few years ago. He was for many years a prominent resident of the Regantown section west of Scottdale, and spent the last several years of his life in Scottdale. He was married to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Paoli and Catherine Tarr Sheppard, April 22, 1847. Paoli Sheppard was a soldier of the War of 1812, and came from Massachusetts. Her mother was the daughter of Hon. Gaspar Tarr, son of a revolutionary soldier, and a relative of Christian Tarr, a Pennsylvania member of Congress. The deceased is survived by the following children: Mrs. George C. McGill of Dawson, Mrs. Adeline Anderson, formerly of Connellsville, now a resident of New Salem, Mrs. Hester A. Anderson of Scottdale, and J. Sample Morrow of Scottdale. Col. J. Caldwell Morrow, of Pittsburg, a noted auctioneer, is a son and has been in Georgia conducting land sales. The time was too short after his mother took the turn for the worse for him to get home, but he is expected home tonight. The deceased was a woman of keen mental preceptions, sunshiny disposition and having a great deal of humor about her. She liked the company of young people and everywhere was welcomed and thought much of. She had a great liking for fancy work and in spite of her age and without glasses she made a great deal of beautiful work and particularly of old fashioned quilts which she pieced and gave to her relatives within the last few months.

FOR THE GENIUS OF LIBERTY
Mr. EDITOR:
You are called on from time to time to announce to your readers the melancholy intelligence that death has entered the family circle and chosen out his victims, thus practically saying to the survivors “be ye also ready.” Among other melancholy cases of this kind, you have lately told us of the death of four out of one house, viz: DANIEL, LEBIUS, CAROLINE, and MARY, sons and daughters of Mr. WILLIAM MOSER. While we are constrained to sympathize with the bereaved relations in their loss, we can likewise rejoice with the deceased in their unspeakable gain; and would say to weeping relatives, dry up your sorrows and try to be thankful that your beloved friends have gone to eternal rest, and escaped the toils, the dangers, and the sorrows attendant on longer days. To all survivors we would beg leave to say, be on the “watch,” for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of Man cometh.” The following stanzas are offered as a tribute to the memory of the deceased:
How death has invaded the old and the young,
And chose out his victims I oft times have sung;
But how shall I venture to tune the sad strain,
And tell of the numbers that here have been slain?
O, how shall a poor feeble mortal like me,
Attempt to tell o’er all the sorrows I see?
For it needs the high strain of an angel, I know,
To paint the sad scene of unspeakable woe!
What words can I use?
O, how can it be said?
O how can I say, half a household is DEAD!
All call’d at short warning – all hurried away,
And laid side by side, in their home in the clay.
May kind angels hover around where they lay,
And guard from all dangers the cold lifeless clay:
And O, may the friend of poor mortals bereft,
Look down and speak comfort to those that are left!
A few fleeting weeks have but hurried away,
Since they all dwelt together, young, happy and gay;

has in his possession a large German Bible given to him by deceased, printed
in 1703, and handed down as an heirloom from deceased's great grand-father.
He possessed those sturdy qualities of honor and integrity characteristic of
the Teuton race, and was one of the excellent of the earth. For 62 years he
