The Funeral of Frank Moore, Circa 1900. An outstanding citizen was S. J. Davis who came to old Linn Creek in 1861. He set up a blacksmith shop, hardware and undertaking business on east Main where he remained in business until fire destroyed his establishment in the late 90's. Besides shoeing oxen and horses, mending broken wagons, selling hardware, making furniture and coffins, he served as undertaker in times of need. Possibly his most notable experience in the undertaking ...business was the funeral of Frank Moore. Frank Moore was not a person, but the canine companion of D. P. Moore, merchant and business man. Having no family, the dog was the constant companion of Moore, in the home, on the street and when riding in his carriage. Frank became ill and died. Squire Davis, as he had become known, was asked to make a coffin, which he did. Frank was dressed in a complete suit of boy's clothing, tenderly placed in the coffin and given a funeral with procession and ceremony. The body was interred on a forty acre tract overlooking Linn Creek valley and marked by a stone. See more
