Comrades at Commerce, TX
Commander W. E. Mangum reports the death of three faithful members of R. E. Lee Camp, No. 231, U. C. V., at Commerce, Tex., which brought sadness and sorrow to Camp and community. Comrades Presley and Murphy were charter members of the Camp, and Comrade Moore joined twenty five years ago
Comrade P. L. Moore, born in Pike County, Mo., May 8, 1833, enlisted in the Confederate army July 28, 1862 from Ripley County, Mo., as a member of Company B, 3d Missouri Regiment of Infantry. He was in the battles of Springfield, 1 Mo., Prairie Grove and Jenkins's Ferry, Ark., Mansfield, La., and other minor skirmishes under Gen. E. Kirby Smith. He was mustered out at Shreveport, La., at the close of the war. He was an honest and faithful soldier and no less attentive to duty in his long citizenship among us. He was a deacon or elder in the Presbyterian Church for twenty-five years, faithful to all the affairs of that trust. He died October 6, 1920, suddenly from heart trouble, with which he had been afflicted several years. A noble comrade has passed to the great beyond.
