BURY MOORE AT BREESPORT FARM
Exertion Caused Death of Unfortunate Man—County Farm Folks Didn’t Know He
Was Coming.
The funeral of Lynn Moore was held this afternoon at the county farm in
Breesport. The Rev. Nightingale of Erin conducted the services. The man was
buried at the county farm.
Moore’s death was the direct result of over-exertion in walking from the
Breesport station to the county farm which is some distance and mostly up grade.
He was suffering from tuberculosis and other diseases and the walk was too much
for him. They did not know at the county farm that Moore was coming or would
have met him at the station. He was sent there on the 4 o’clock Lehigh train
Tuesday afternoon and died shortly after his arrival at the farm.
Moore was the man who was picked up by Officer Stewart here several nights
ago and found to be suffering from a tubercular hemorrhage. The police were at a
loss to know what to do with him. He was sent to St. Joseph’s Hospital but could
not be kept there on account of the contagious nature of his illness. A solution
was finally found when he was arrested on a technical charge and sent to the
tramp house at the count jail.
Moore was an Elmira man and had lived here a long time. (handwritten on
