Caldwell Resident
Harvey C. Moore,
Killed by Train |
Harvey Curtis Moore,
78, was struck and killed by a train three quarters of a mile
west of the Boise River railroad bridge at 1:55 p.m. Friday.
Moore, who has been in poor health, was reported to police at
11 a.m. Friday as being missing from his home. The crew of the
extra train which struck him an hour later were quoted as
saying he was crawling down the side of the track on his
knees, headed toward Caldwell when the east bound train struck
him, knocking him from the track.
The train crew stopped the train, determined that he
was dead, and came on to Caldwell and called the sheriff's
office, Union Pacific officials said.
Sheriff Ray Luekenga identified Moore.
Moore, 815 Albany
street, was born Jan. 1874 in Ohio. He went from Ohio to
Liberal, Mo., when young. At Norwood, Mo., Thanksgiving Day,
1895, he married Lella May Kesner who died in 1944. He married
Alice Howe in Washington later.
Moore came to Idaho in 1907, settling in the Upper Deer Flat
community, then moving to Scism. In 1921, he went to
California where he remained for several years before going to
Grandview, Wash. He came from Grandview to live with his
daughter April 16, 1952.
Survivors are his wife; a son Deo of Caldwell; a
daughter, Mrs. Frank Kessler of Caldwell; two brothers, James
K. of Caldwell and Q. O. of Stroud, Okla.; one sister, Mrs.
Florence Haddock of Rocky Comfort, Mo.; five grandchildren and
six great grandchildren.
Services will be at 2:30 p.m. Tuesday at the Peckham-Dakan chapel
and interment will be at Canyon Hill. |
