Born in Arichat, Cape Breton, he was the son of the late Simon and Evageline (Theriault) Mombourquette. Wilfred will be fondly remembered as a loving, caring and devoted husband, father, grandfather, great-grandfather, uncle, brother and a friend to many.

Family gatherings and sing-a-longs were among some of his most treasured times. He enjoyed camping, playing his guitar, harmonica and keyboard, and was always ready for a game of crib with whomever would challenge him. Wilfred had a passion for life and was young at heart and in mind and soul. He loved a good joke and had a great talent for storytelling, especially over a cup of freshly brewed coffee. He loved to dance and was the first one on the floor and the last one off. He couldn't resist making an entrance without his trademark dance steps. Wilfred, Dad, Grampy, Amedee, Uncle Wilfred, Uncle Amedee, Woozie, you always put your family first. Whenever we needed you, were always there to offer support or lend a hand. You will never be forgotten and will be sadly missed by all whose lives you've touched. We are comforted by knowing that you are still watching over us. We love and miss you. The stairway to Heaven must have been in need of repair.

Measurements - The report of the police officers on the accident stated that the front of the car was badly damaged and there were blood stains on the left front headlight, also a small amount of hair on the left side of the engine hood. Measurements taken by the police showed that the body of the woman lay on the street a distance of 36 feet from the left front fender of the car and nearby was a pool of blood. The distance from the rear bumper of the Hamm car to where the light plie was snapped off was seven feet, six inches and the width of the street from cub to curb is 30 feet, six inches. Also the distance from the rear bumper of the car to the Glace Bay tram crossing is 131 feet. The woman's purse was picked up near the west curb a distance of 35 feet from the rear bumper, it was stated in the report.

| Moore | Clement P. Moore | Sydney Post Record p 1 & p 3 | 03/04/1936 | R. Fraser | MERCHANT SUCCUMBS C P MOORE, OUTSTANDING CITIZEN, DIED EARLY THIS MORNING IN BUSINESS HERE ALMOST 45 YEARS DECEASED WAS MEMBER OF SYDNEY SCHOOL BOARD FOR 35 YEARS Civic, business, and community circles of Sydney today mourn the loss of a pioneer merchant and a prominently known and esteemed citizen in the death of C P Moore, M.B.E., which occurred at his residence, 688 George street, at an early hour this morning following a general illness. Ill Since August Stricken last August, and undergoing a serious operation at the time, he staged a remarkable recovery and continued at his hardware business on Charlotte street, which he established almost half a century ago, up until three weeks ago when taken ill again. Fails To Respond This time the malady was of severe internal character, and despite best of medical care and attention he failed to respond and gradually succumbed, the end coming at 6:30 o'clock this morning. General Shock His passing, when the news circulated throughout the city, came as a general shock to many, and all sides eulogistic reference was paid him by the hundreds who knew him during his 43 years residence in Sydney. Active Force Modest and unassuming he was nevertheless an active force in the community life of Sydney, having been a member of the city council, City School Board, Board of Trade, Social Service Council, Children's Aid Society, Rotary Club, Curling Club, Bairncroft orphanage, Sydney Presbytery, and senior elder of First United Church. Work Recognized His 30 years unflagging interest in child welfare work drew recognition from the late King George Fifth, who remembered him in his 1935 New Year honor list and made him an M.B.E. - Member of British Empire. Of Loyalist Stock He was of pre-Loyalist stock, his forefathers having landed in Cape Breton in 1734 - a year before the Loyalists came - and settled along the shores of Upper North Sydney. A son of John Belcher Moore, and Harriet Maloney, he was born at North Sydney on December 3, 1854 and after being educated at the North Sydney Academy, he entered the teaching profession and the years from 1873 to 1882 witnessed him as Principal of Schools at North Sydney, Port Hawksbury and Little Bras d'Or. Started Business Retiring from teaching in 1882, he decided to go into business with the late George MacKeen and strarted a hardware store in the town of North Sydney and remained there until 1893 when he moved to Sydney, then on the threshold of the steel boom. His business partner here was the late Edward Johnson and they located their shop at the now familiar Moore's Corner, Charlotte and Pitt Streets and remained at that stand ever since - a period of 43 years. Partner Retired Johnson remained in the business for about seven or eight years, and then resigned to go into the contracting trade, leaving Mr Moore to carry under the established firm of C. P. Moore's Hardware. Of humble origin, the business progressed with the expansion and industrial development of the city, and the little wooden building on the corner gave way to a large and more pretentious structure. (Continued on page 3) PIONEER CAPE BRETON MERCHANT (Continued from page one) In 1883 he married Emma E Johnstone, sister of his Sydney business partner, who predeceased him about 25 years ago. On School Board Education was his hobby, and for over 35 years he occupied a post on the City School Board as Commissioner and played no small part in advancing the cause of education in this city, many of the fine existing school buildings having been constructed during his tenure. Fine Service Child welfare work witnessed him playing an active role and for 15 years he was President of the Children's Aid Society of Cape Breton, and upon his retirement a couple of years ago the organization made him Honorary President in recognition of his fine service. His quarter of a century association with the School Board was fittingly remembered a few years ago by his confreres when he was presented with an illuminated certificate and purse of $25 in gold. In City Council His entry into civic life came in 1899 and he served one term at the Council Board retiring in 1900. Great Churchman In church circles, he was a familiar figure, having been an Elder and member of Board of Session in old Falmouth street church and later in First United church, as well as being Supt. Of Sunday School at that time. He was treasurer of the Presbytery of Sydney. Y.M.C.A. Board He was a member of the Y.M.C.A. and was on its directorate, as well as being associated with the Y's Men's Club and the Sydney Rotary Club. Veteran Curler An inveterate curler, he was one of the charter members of the Sydney Curling Club, and played on scores of rinks that brought curling honors to this city. On Board Of Trade A member of Sydney Board of Trade, he was a former President of that organization years ago, and was identified with Bairncroft Orphanage, and a great friend of that institution, President Social Service Council, and in 1922 was named to the responsible post of chairman of the Sydney Housing Commission which erected fine residences in the suburban districts of the city. In the 150th anniversary celebrations here last summer he took part in the pageant at Victoria Park, having represented his antecedents who were first settlers in Sydney and North Sydney. Scores of other church and service organizations in the city found him in active role. He is survived by two daughters, Louise and Jean; and only son, William, predeceased him about 10 years ago. Also surviving is a sister, Mrs T J Armstrong, of Portland, Oregon, who was called here by the critical illness and subsequent death of her brother; one granddaughter, Shirley Moore. Other immediate relatives include George B Murray, North Sydney, Wilfrid Murray, of Montreal; Louis Moore, North Sydney; Kathleen Moore, Portland, Oregon; Mrs Jock Keith, of Halifax. The funeral, a civic one, will be held on Sunday afternoon, and public service at First United church will take place at 3:45 o'clock. Flags on civic buildings and at the Bairncroft Orphanage are flying at half-mast out of respect to his memory. April 5, 1936 - CAPE BRETON PAYS FINAL TRIBUTE TO C. P. MOORE Hundreds of Citizens Attend Funeral of Respected Sydney Merchant - Service Held in First United Church Member of the Sydney School Board for over 35 years, as well as being a pioneer merchant and prominently known citizen, Clement P. Moore, was laid to rest Sunday afternoon in Hardwood Hill cemetery as hundreds converged here from all parts of Cape Breton to pay last tribute to his memory. Mecca for countless mourners in the past several days, his late residence at 688 George Street was the scene of private service for the family, after which the lengthy funeral cortege proceeded to First United Church. There the edifice was filled to more than capacity, and the streets along the route were thronged with men, women and children. Conducting the service at the house, Rev. L. B. Campbell, Pastor, also officiated at the church, and he was assisted by Rev. C. R. F. McLennan, of Glace Bay, who read the Scripture. Funeral Address Taking as his text, The Regalia of a True Knight, Rev. Mr. Campbell in his funeral address paid high tribute to the fine record and character of the deceased as a citizen, business man and church and community worker. Full Choir Under the direction of Professor A. F. MacKinnon, the choir was heard in several favorite hymns of the deceased, namely, Unto The Hills and Now the Laborer’s Task is O’er while Mrs. Ella Baines, soloist, sang, Crossing the Bar. Long Procession From the church the procession wended its way slowly to the burial grounds, and making up the concourse were representatives of the city council headed by Mayor Muggah, Police Chief W. R. Tracey and his department, Fire Chief Harry Mesereau and his force from the central and Pier stations, Supervisor Woodill, school commissioners and teaching staffs; the Board of Trade, under D. J. Bonnell, president; the Rotary Club, as well as hundreds of representative citizens on foot and in automobiles. Graveside prayers were offered by Rev. Mr. Campbell. Pall Bearers The pall bearers, all members of First United church session, were: Major D. S. Morrison, Fred McInnis, J. J. Morley, George McLeod, W. E. MacPherson and W. B. Parkinson. The wealth of beautiful floral offerings and the numberless cards, messages and other tokens of sympathy bore striking testimony to the high esteem in which he was held by all. Lifetime of Service In his funeral address, Rev. Mr. Campbell referred to the royal recognition given the deceased a year ago, declaring it is evidence enough that his lifetime of public spirited service did not pass unnoticed by his fellow men. Touching on the death of Mr. Moore, the pastor said: Following a brief period of distress after a long, full lifetime of 82 years, our friend entered into the eternal day with the approach of morning light, just as did his only osn, some years ago. And it seemed to me that our Heavenly Father had just called him home to give him the morning star, the token of immortal hope and the undimished splendour of the Father’s love. It’s glory would fittingly adorn his true knightly quality of life, that would enter gladly into higher ministry. Fine, Clean Life Later, he paid further tribute to the character and qualities of the deceased, saying there is scarcely any phase of fine, clean life in our city that will not feel the loss sustained in the passing of one of Sydney’s most illustrious son, Mr. C. P. Moore, M.B.E. Continuing, the pastor declared Coming from a family that reached in its roots back to the first people who settled here in 1784, he worthily exemplified the qualities that made his forefathers pioneers. And as he grew in appreciation of the trained mind, and entered educational work, which to the end of his days held his interest, and was increased the range of his service as School Commissoner for over 35 years. Few men have so fine a record in such public service as was possessed by Mr. Moore. And he was trusted in it as being the soul of honur, and good, sound common sense. From this there followed as the day the night, his profound and lasting affection for the young people. He was ever youthful in his own spirit. One would never think of him as being old. And his interest in children was remarkable, especially the underprivileged ones. For 15 years he was President of the Children’s Aid Society. He was on the Social Service Council, Y.M.C.A, and vitally interested in Bairncroft Orphanage. For years he was Supt. Of Falmouth Street Church Sunday School and taught regularly. No one can compute the thought and care and sacrifice that he put into this work for the young folk for whom he spent himself gladly. Prominent in Business Dwelling upon his association with the business life of Sydney, the minister said that he was never enslaved by business. Successful to a conspicuous degree, he demonstrated what many might learn from one as prominent as himself, that life is more interesting than business affairs, which are interesting and useful in serving men and giving opportunity to enter into other wider interests in life. That was how he used business, instead of letting it override the things for which he really lived. He was a straight forward and trusted man. The part he played in the civic and community life of Sydney was eulogized by the speaker, also his devout identification faith the church, its endeavors, and his home. In concluding he said: These are the gems in his Knightly regalia, and he wore them as to the true manner born. They were honorable and they are glorious. But God still keeps some honour that is best of all. This Knight has entered into the highest order of unchanging chivalry. In his heart is the jewel, and it’s gleam is the light from the morning star. [no date - Hardwood Hill cem: buried 5 Apr 1936] | |||

| Moores | John "Jook" Moores | Cape Breton Post | 26/01/2005 | Carol MacLean | John "Jook" Moores passed away on Monday January 24, 2005 at the Glace Bay Health Care Complex. Born in Glace Bay, he was the son of the late Clarence and Mary (McIntyre) Moores. Jook was an avid hockey enthusiast and was a candlepin bowler. He participated in the Knox and County leagues including the provincial tournaments. He played baseball with Parkside A.C. in Glace Bay. Jook's minor hockey career starated in 1952 with St. Anne's of the Rotary-sponsored Common School Hockey League. It was during Jook's midget and juvenile years that his outstanding hockey ability came to light. In 1954 and again in 1956, St. Anne's midget team won back-to-back Cape Breton Midget Hockey Championships. A big part of those winnings teams was the line of Moores, Salyzyn and Barrett. Jook was described as "a hard-working front-liner", and it certainly showed up in his numbers at game's end. During one game, Jook managed six goals and eight assists for a 14-point night. As testimony to Jook's style of play, it was said "that's just-like Jook; he will give away more than he will put in". At the tender age of 15, and still eligible to play midget for another year, Jook decided to move up to the juvenile level. In February 1955, Lou Passador, chief scout of the Montreal Canadiens, was in Cape Breton looking for young players who could make future leaguers. It was felt by many tht he over-looked Jook Moores. Jook went on to play on juvenile championship teams,was a member of the Cape Breton All-Star Junior Team and the Glace Bay Senior Miners. In 1958, Jook, along with Sonny Salyzyn and Duck Barrett was invited to attend the Detroit Red Wings junior training camp in Hamilton, Ontario. Jook rounded out his hockey career as a member of the Glace Bay Seniors Miners in 1959. And in later years, he would have been seen keeping "in tune" playing hockey for one of the colliery teams in the Cape Breton Development Corporation's Colliery Hockey League. Jook was employed with Havelock Beverages until 1962, then worked with Devco at the Central Shops in Glace Bay until his retirement. He spent over 40 years bartending at the Manor Tavern, Pithead Beverage Room and the Gillwood Inn where he enjoyed taling about his sports involvement. He is survived by daughter Kim (Glenn) of Oromocto, NB, son Gregg (Donna) of Riverview, NB, granddaughters Jenny and Renee, sister Rosie Garland, brothers Bobby (Trudy) of London, Ontario, Glary of Manitoba, and Al (Rosalee) of Glace Bay. In honouring Jook's request, there will be no visitation. Cremation has taken place. Any donations in his memory may be made to the Canadian Diabetes Association. Arrangements have been entrusted to V.J. McGillivray Funeral HOme, 16 Reserve Street, Glace Bay. | |||

His counsel and judgment was sought not only by the more mature, but by the younger generation. He was ever ready to extend a helping hand, to give the fruit of long experience and a word of cheer and comfort were always on the tip of his tongue. Words of bitterness never dropped from his lips. It can truly be said, those who knew him, were the better for it. Wherever he wandered, he met friends who were glad to greet him. Possessing a wonderful memory he could call people by name and rehearse personal experiences with the. He is gone, but the memory of him will be cherished for many years to come. |

His passing will be mourned by the many people who knew him intimately, and his work a monument to his memory. May Kenneth Morrison be often remembered in our prayers. Joseph A D MacDonald | ||||
