May 25, 1911 "James L. Moore, a pioneer of Golden and one of the best known men in the city for many years, passed away at his home at 11 o'clock Tuesday morning after an illness of two weeks. Paralysis was the cause of his death. He had reached the age of 68 years and 6 months. Mr. Moore came to Golden from Missouri in 1864, and has lived here since that date. He conducted a ranch in the Western part of the county for some time, but has been engaged for the most part in general teaming and contract work. For many years, before the advent of a railroad he was engaged in freighting between Denver and the mining camps of Clear Creek, Gilpin and Lake counties. Mr. Moore fought in the confederate army, under Price. He was taken prisoner by the Union soldiers, remaining in the Federal prison for many months. As soon as his release was effected Mr. Moore, with his wife, started for California, making part of a large party of emigrants. The wagon train was set upon by the Indians in the Black Hills, and although the white men were too many in, numbers for the reds to massacre, the grass and water was poisoned, and the horses and oxen shot. Finally, by hitching up the milch cows in place of the horses and oxen, the party was able to reach Denver, and Mr. and Mrs. Moore gave up the California trip and settled here. Aside from his wife, Mr. Moore is survived by two sons, George and Clarence, and two daughters, Miss Buehlah, of Golden, and Mrs. Oren Jackson, of Los Angeles. The remains will be interred at Golden cemetery this afternoon."
June 1, 1911 "The remains of James L. Moore, the pioneer who passed away the first of last week, -were laid at rest in Golden cemetery on Thursday, the funeral being, attended by a large number of friends. A touching incident of the- funeral was the fact of a number of Grand Army men in uniform paid honor to the memory of this veteran who fought under the Stars and Bars of the Confederacy."
"Another of Golden' s pioneer women passed to the great beyond yesterday, when Mrs. Mary Moore, widow of the late James L. Moore, was claimed by death. Dropsy and a complication of other diseases was the cause of her death. Mrs. Moore has been sick for the past two months, and all arrangements had been made by her son and daughters to take her to California, in the hope she would be benefitted by the change. She was first taken with rheumatism, which developed into dropsy. Mrs. Moore, who was Miss Mary Tipton, came across the plains with her parents in an ox wagon in 1864. The party had started for California, but the train was set upon by Indians and all the animals killed. Most of the members escaped the redskins and made their way to Denver. Mrs. Moore s parents went to Gilpin county, but only remained there a short time coming to Golden in 1865, in which year deceased was married to James L. Moore. Mrs. Moore was a member of the Christian church and she was known to all as one of the most charitable women. Many an orphan lad found food and shelter at her home, where the door was always open in welcome to the homeless. Mrs. Moore had reached the age of 69 years and 7 months, and is survived by one son, George, and two daughters, Miss Beulah and Mrs. Maude Jackson. Funeral services will be conducted from the residence on Twelfth street tomorrow, Friday afternoon at 2 o clock, Rev. Steele conducting."

The church was beautifully decorated aud the ceremony was performed in a dignified and reverential manner, very appropriate to such an important step in life. Mr. A. B. Baird was the pleasing groomsman and Miss Anna Patterson the attractive bridesmaid for the occasion.
After the performance of the ceremony, the happy couple held a short reception in the parlors of the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Eimus Smith. Not only the bride and groom, but also the attendants, presented a captivating appearance. J. 8. Baird and Harry Clark, acting as ushers, were very appropriate helpers in the well appointed arrangements of the occasion.
Among the many handsome presents given the newly married couple were a silver set of tea spoons and castor, a silver berry dish, a silver butter dish, a set of silver knives and forks, a handsome lamp, a beautiful tidy, and a set of individual salt dishes. The donors were A. B. Baird, Mr. end Mrs. Sapp, Mr. and Mrs. Eimus Smith, Miss Anna Patterson, Mrs. Baird, Mr. Morey and other friends.

April 1910, Grand Junction, Colorado "Becoming ill just five weeks ago today, the very day that his elder brother, James Floyd was laid to rest in the Masonic cemetery on Orchard Mesa, Trox Floyd, aged 15 years, the bright and lovable little son of Mrs. M. E. Floyd, died this morning at 5:30 o'clock at the family home, 111 South Ninth street, a victim of typhoid fever, the same malady that claimed the life of James Floyd, the brother. The death of Trox Floyd is one of the saddest that has occurred in Grand Junction in many, many months and, coming so close after the death of the older son, it is a fearful blow, a terrible shock to the family. Throughout the city today sympathy has been expressed for the loving mother who has had her two sons, her only sons, taken away from her within a period of less than two months.
A little over five weeks ago, James Floyd, who nearly all his life had enjoyed the best of health and who, when seized with the illness that proved fatal, was the very picture of health, passed away at the railroad hospital in Salida. The young man was ill only about three weeks, The body was brought back to this city and the funeral took place five weeks ago this afternoon, The afternoon of the burial of James Floyd, Trox Floyd took sick, it was found that he was suffering from typhoid fever. Then began a struggle against disease that was a valiant struggle and one that bid fair to prove successful. For many days the little fellow lay between life and death and then it was believed that he was getting better. Early last week the fever was finally broken, but practically all of the vitality of the boy's constitution had been exhausted in the long and hard fight. Complications set in, he had a relapse a few days ago. Last night he suffered a severe hemorrhage and this morning the vain struggle against the inevitable ended, and the spirit of Trox Floyd passed from earth into the presence of the Creator.
Everything that medical skill and loving hands could do to save the little life had been done. Trox Floyd, until a year or two ago, had not been strong. However, during the last two years he had grown quite strong and very active and bid fair to make a strong, vigorous man. His was a most lovable and genial disposition. He was the pet of the family. While all boys are more or less devoted to their mothers, his devotion to his mother seemed unusual in its strength. He was happler at her side than at any other time. He scemed to always want her with him. He was a bright, quick-minded boy, making excellent advancement in his school work. He was an enthusiastic member of the Sunday school of the Christian chureh and was a faithful and conscientious attendant. He took special delight in the social features of the Sunday school. Trox was generally beloved by all who knew him owing to his genial and gentle disposition. It is indeed a most untimely death and no wonder that the mother can hardly be reconciled to her loss.
Besides his mother, the deceased is survived by two sisters, Mrs. A. E. Baylls and Mrs. Joe Stewart, of this city. The funeral services will be held tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock at the home, conducted by Rev. A, B. Elliott, of the Christian church. The interment will take place at Masonic cemetery in charge of Undertaker H. G. Pearson and Trox Floyd will be lald to rest at the side of his brother, James Floyd, who preceded him to the grave by just a few weeks."
