Joseph Gardner Moore obituary, 1910
MOORE, JOSEPH GARDNER
from the New Egypt Press 23 Dec 1910
Never before during our several years of service as a news gatherer and a publisher, have we been called upon to write the obituary notice of one of our own family circle and it is with no little effort that we make the attempt.
On Friday afternoon, the 16th inst., brother Joseph Gardner Moore, M.D., of No. 638 Brooklyn Street, West Philadelphia, was called away from his earthly home after a severe illness of typhoid fever, which he had fought bravely for three long weeks.
Dr. Moore was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Hugh Moore of this place and is well known to nearly every person in this community. He was a graduate of the Baltimore Medical College and after passing the State Medical Examination of Pennsylvania in 1906, he opened an office at his late residence, and had met with success as a practicing physician.
