MOORE ESTHER
DIED IN WELLSBORO. Esther Moore, The Granddaughter of Early Settler of Chemung. In Wellsboro, Pa., July 20, 1917, passed to the after life, in the seventy-ninth year of her age, Esther Moore, granddaughter of one of the first settlers of Chemung county, New York. She was a true friend, faithful & conscientious in all things, one of the few of whom it can be truthfully said, was a faithful follower of Christ, literally living out her long life in accordance with his teachings. Although it was not her privilege to be a mother, yet fate gave her the opportunity to perform this mission for a family of orphan children. No real mother ever had the life interests of her children more at heart then had she, & no mother was more tenderly loved & cared for than she by her foster children. The following poem, written & sent to her, by a cousin of hers, upon the occasion of her last birthday, gives a brief story of her life.

ODE TO A NOBLE WOMAN
Some seventy years ago to-day a little girl baby came this way. To gladden the hearts of her parents so dear & make them feel happy that she was here. Large blue eyes & beautiful hair & a disposition very rare. In fact, I think I am safe to say that to narrow, mean thoughts she would always say nay. This baby grew as babies do & not without her troubles too. For in early childhood the angel-land called her mother to join their band. And from that time on it is hard to tell of all the hardships she knew so well. But only God & the angels knew of all that tried her heart so true. She grew to womanhood, well & strong, always helping the world along. Then made a home for her father dear & cheered his heart for many a year. With love & kindness & gentle tone, until the angels called him home. And even then, she was not through, there was much work still for her to do. She did it too, & stands today esteemed by all who come her way. She is always true blue - you will find her the same, for Esther Moore is this woman’s name. We love her for all she has done for this world; her heart is true & her life is gold. For her a reward nest soon be in sight & God & the angels will make it right. - Written by Judson Lake & Ada (Moore) Hunt. Esther Moore is buried in Whitneyville Cemetery, Whitneyville, Pa. next to her father Asa Moore.
