     Elias Naudain Moore, 94 years old, one of the best known residents of Delaware, died at his estate, Fairview, near Odessa, this morning following an illness of several months, from complications due to old age.
     One of the oldest Republicans in the state, Mr. Moore served as a member of the last Constitutional Convention and was a Legislature member. Until a few years ago, he never missed a G. O. P. convention in this state.

  • ELIAS N. MOORE
     With the death of Elias Naudain Moore at his estate, Fairview, just below Odessa, there passes away one of Delaware’s most highly respected citizens. He lived to the ripe age of 94 years, and he had an active and useful life.
     Mr. Moore was always an ardent Republican, and until the last few years a regular attendant at Republican state conventions. He was a former member of the Legislature, and he was a member of the Constitutional Convention which framed the Constitution of the State. That convention was noted for having men of unusual ability who performed an outstanding and important work. He was also a prominent member of the Methodist Episcopal Church. His home was a beautiful place, built by his great-grandfather, Major James Moore, in 1770.
     During the peach days Mr. Moore was noted as a peach grower, and his father originated the finest white peach raised in Delaware in those days—Moore’s Favorite.
     This was about the time that the late Clement Reeves, of Delaware City, originated the Reeves’ Favorite, the most luscious and celebrated of yellow fruit. New Castle county, the middle region of it, was then the most noted peach section in the county.

  • ELIAS NAUDAIN MOORE.
     Elias Naudain Moore, whose death occurred Monday at his home, Fairview, near Odessa, though of modest demeanor, had an extensive acquaintance which had endeared him to many persons throughout the state. He died in the home where he was born 94 years ago. It is one of the show places in that section of the state, being located about half a mile south of the town, and he was never happier than when he was working about the place. Notwithstanding his advanced age, he had been active until a few weeks ago.
     Of an exceedingly friendly disposition, it was Mr. Moore’s nature to be doing things that night give comfort or pleasure to others. He took great interest in matters of public welfare, not only in the immediate community, where he was revered by all, but throughout the state as well. He was a valued member of the convention which framed the present state constitution in 1897, and his knowledge, experience and judicial temperament proved helpful to his colleagues in shaping what was to be the new fundamental law of the state. He had also served in the Legislature with equal credit, and many times had been affiliated with the Republican county and state committees.
     Probably his greatest interest, outside of the family circle, was in the Methodist Episcopal Church, of which he had been a member for many years. He was also noted as a singer. His death is not only a loss to the community in which he spent his whole life, but also to the state.^5,6,7
• Note*: "E. N. MOORE OBSERVES NINETY-FIRST BIRTHDAY
     "Elias Naudain Moore, of Fairview, Appoquinimink hundred, an active member of the Republican party in Delaware during his whole lifetime celebrated his ninety-first birthday yesterday at his home near Odessa.
     "It is the home of his fathers, having been built by his great-grandfather, Major James Moore in 1770. Mr. Moore has been prominent in the Republican party ranks and has attended every convention of importance up to the last five years when his health began to show the effects of age. Yesterday he spent the morning raking leaves from the lawn, and daily takes long walks, besides reading the newspapers. He retains strength of mind and body remarkably.
     "Mr. Moore has a brother, Alfred McComb Moore, of Royal Oak, Md., and a sister, Mrs. George W. Sparks, Sr., of this city. The combined ages of Mr. Moore, his brother and sister are 258 years."⁸
