ObitGeorge W.'s obituary was published in the Rochester Sentinel on 31 August 1922:

George MOORE, 85, retired farmer, who lived practically all of his life in Fulton county, committed suicide late Wednesday afternoon by hanging himself in the barn at his home in Athens. The body was found by his daughter-in-law, Mrs. Frank MOORE at about five o’clock, 30 minutes after he had taken his life. Mr. Moore had been in ill health for the past 20 years, suffering with shaking palsy. For the past few years his mind had grown feeble and while suicide had never been thot of at any time, his family had kept close watch over him. Wednesday afternoon he went out to the barn and when he had not returned to the house, Mrs. Frank Moore started out to find him, fearing that something had happened to him causing him to remain away from the house longer than was his custom. She found the body hanging from a beam in the barn. Life was already extinct. She called Dr. Archie STINSON, county coroner, who made a formal finding of suicide. The old man had made a noose in a half inch rope, which he tied to a rafter, placing the noose about his neck. He then stepped off of a height of about three feet. He left no message. George Moore was born in Ohio, moving to Fulton county with his parents in early life. He was very well known thruout the community and had farmed all of his life until failing health compelled him to retire. His son and Mrs. Frank Moore had made their home with him since the death of his wife about three years ago. He served in an Indiana regiment during the civil war. Suviving are seven children, Frank [MOORE] and Ora MOORE and Mrs. Dora ROWE, of Athens, Mrs. Lloyd BRYANT, of near Athens, Omer [MOORE], of Ora, Edward [MOORE], of Elkhart and Ira MOORE, of Logansport. Funeral services from the residence Saturday afternoon at two o’clock. Burial at Mt. Hope cemetery.1
