Died—MOORE—Rev. D. B. Moore was born in North Carolina, August 30, 1807. He removed with his widowed mother to Wilson county, Tenn., in 1816, where he grew to manhood, professed religion, attached himself to the Cumberland Presbyterian Church. He was early in his Christian career, impressed to warn sinners to flee the wrath to come. He joined the Lebanon (now McMinnville) Presbytery, in 1834 or 1836; was licensed to preach in November 1837; was licensed to preach in November 1837; and was ordained April 18, 1842.
Brother Moore was a man of no mean intellectual endowments, but his literary attainments were not his lot. His mother, having the care of a large and almost helpless family of children, was unable to provide for their intellectual culture. Yet she failed not to inculcate those principles that looked to the development of their higher and moral nature. She was one of the few mothers in Israel, who enjoying the power of religion in the soul; was not ashamed to maintain its forms in her family. She regularly gathered her little flock around the domestic altar, read lessons from the inspired volume, and commended them in prayer, to him who heareth even "the young ravens when they cry." These lessons, enforced by pious example, doubtless did much in forming the moral character of the subject of this notice, and in qualifying him for the profession which the Great Head of the Church intended him to occupy. As a man he was social and affable; as a Christian he was unselfish. He was no bigoted sectary; but, wherever and whenever he met a fellow being, bearing the image of Christ, he was ready to recognize him as a brother. As a minister he was earnest; zealous, fervent in spirit and laborious. Christ and him crucified was his theme, and the salvation of sinners his object. He was abundant in labors, ever ready to speak a word for his Master.
In 1843, he organized the Mt. Zion congregation and continued to preach to it for 16 or 17 years No man was more universally beloved by all religious denominations. He was a very efficient laborer in revivals was specially gifted in exhortation and prayer. Many now living can testify as to his earnest, soul-stirring appeals to the unconverted. And doubtless there are many both in the church militant and the church triumphant, who today bless God for his humble ministry.
He reared a family of nine children, and lived to see them all converted and united with the Church, except the youngest daughter, and she has been for years an earnest seeker of salvation. We believe that God will yet answer the fervent prayers of the sainted father for her salvation. He labored in the Master’s vineyard nearly thirty-three years. On the night of the 29th of September, 1870, after severe suffering for one month, he ended his earthly career, and, we believe, went up to enjoy the rich reward that awaits all who faithfully serve Jesus Christ.
