  Well Known Contractor Found Dead
  
       Ed H. Moore, age about 68, well known Olney building contractor, was found dead in his auto at his home on West St. John Street about 6:30 o'clock this morning.
       A hose had been attached to the exhaust pipe and run inside the car, with death apparently due to carbon monoxide poison. A note left for his son, Ed, Jr., explaining the reason for his act as ill health.
       Coroner Ralph King announced this morning that an inquest would be held at the Porter-Schaub chapel at 5 o'clock this evening. The body was taken to the Porter-Schaub funeral home to await arrangements for the funeral services.
       Mr. Moore, a native of Noble, had constructed a number of houses in Olney during the past several years. Thirty years ago he left Noble for Fornfelt, Mo., where he became a prosperous contractor and one of that city's most prominent citizens. In 1932 he returned to Noble and purchased a farm, where he resided until about two years ago, when he moved to Olney and again entered the contracting and building business.
       He is survived by his wife, two daughters, Mrs. Vera M. Krebbs, of Shelbyville, Ind., and Mrs. Thelma E. Milford, of Geff, and four sons, Ed H. Moore, Jr., and Paul O. Moore, both of Olney, Victor H. Moore, of Burley, Idaho, and Raymond M. Moore of Shelbyville, Ind. Also surviving is one sister, Mrs. Charles Murray, of Noble, and one brother, O.W. Moore, of Chicago.
       Funeral services will be held at the Porter-Schaub chapel Monday morning at 10:30 o'clock with Masons in charge. Interment will be at Haven Hill cemetery.

• He was buried at the Haven Hill Cemetery in Olney, Richland County, Illinois, USA on 28 August 1939.
