Mrs. Susie B. Moore Dies This Morning in Miami Florida
Mrs. James McNenny of Deadwood received a telegram this forenoon from Miami, Fla., informing her of the death of Mrs. Susie B. Moore in that city early this morning. Mrs. Moore broke her hip about a year ago, and had been in ill health since.
Mrs. Moore was a southerner by birth, born in 1863. She and her husband, the late Judge Joseph B. Moore, who died in April 1907, came to the Black Hills in early days, and Judge Moore practiced law here until the time of his death.
Two daughters survive their mother’s death, Mary Alice, now Mrs. Thomas P. Rucker of Miami, and Norma, now Mrs. T.P. Ballou of Palm Beach, Fla. There are also five grandchildren and one great grandchild. A son, Rupert P. Moore, died in Lead during the flu epidemic in the late fall of 1918. In the spring of the following year, Mrs. Moore and her daughters, and daughter-in-law, Mrs. Rupert B. Moore, and the latter’s two children left Lead for Nashville, Tenn., later going to Florida. Mrs. McNenny of Deadwood was a niece of the late Judge Moore.
The deceased was a member of Ruth Lodge No. 3, Degree of Honor, of Lead. No particulars were received here regarding funeral arrangements, but friends believe the body may be brought to Lead for burial beside Judge Moore in the municipal cemetery in South Lead.

Moore Services Are Held Here Yesterday
A group of Lead friends of the late Mrs. Susie Moore gathered at the Rounsevell chapel yesterday for the services in her memory at 2 o’clock. Owing to the inclement weather the graveside services planned were held in the chapel instead. The commitment rites of Ruth Lodge No. 3, Degree of Honor, were conducted in the chapel. There were many fragrant bouquets of flowers. The Rev. E.F. Siegfriedt of Christ Episcopal church offered prayer, and Mrs. Ambrose Stephenson sang as a deathbed request of the deceased, “The Strife Is O’er.”
The Episcopal committal rites were observed at the graveside in South Lead cemetery. The escort was composed of A.E. Anderson, Thomas Chapman, Henry Searle, Tom Phillips, N.R. Treweek and F.L. Thorpe.
