     Hugh J. Moore died on Nov 13, 1889 DACK RAMEY STRIKES AGAIN- THE HUGH MOORE HOUSE
Hugh Moore married Malissa Ann Cox September 18, 1871. The couple had the following children: B. C. Moore, Robert, Bada L., Walker, Victor H., Carrie and Dell. The marriage ceremony, which united Hugh Moore and Melissa Cox, was performed by Rev. Samuel Stallard, the father of the late Doctor N. W. Stallard.
While the seven children were still young, Mr. Moore was shot and killed in his home on the Clinch River by Dack Ramey. The bullet hole is still visible by the side of the door.
For the crime, Dack Ramey was never tried and since Hugh Moore was the only one at home when he was slain, the only story ever heard of the happenings was told by Ramey himself.
He said he went to Hugh Moore's to buy a quart of apple brandy and while there he and Hugh Moore decided to have a shooting match with pistols. They fired several shots at the mark, wagering fifty cents on each firing. He said a dispute followed over who won the last shot and angry words were exchanged, after which Mr. Moore said he was out of ammunition, but he had plenty more in the house. Ramey waited in the yard for his return. Becoming impatient he approached the door on the south side of the house and saw through the glass front, Moore in a stooping position. Ramey declared he thought Moore was loading his gun to shoot him and to prevent such he shot through the paneling, at the side of the door, and Moore fell over dead in the hallway of his home.
Dack Ramey then walked away from the Moore home and less than two hundred yards away from the house he met Mrs. Moore, who was returning home, carrying her baby Dell in her arms. Mrs. Moore told Dack that Dell had lost one of her baby shoes and for him to please look for it as he went up the hill, and if he found it to lay it on a stump or big rock, and she would retrieve it. Dack said he would.
When Mrs. Moore entered the hallway of her home, she found her husband lying dead on the floor.
Dack Ramey was suspected of the crime and in a short time told people he fired the fatal shot that killed Hugh Moore.
For months and months Ramey was at large on the north side of the country, boldly and brazenly going here and there, sometimes "going to meetin." When Professor W.R. Wolfe was teaching in flatwoods school near the Watson Baker place Dack Ramey was present at the closing of the school program. Many of the men present would liked to have collected the five hundred dollars bounty offered for his capture, dead or alive, but all were afraid of him.
Dack employed Col. Richmond in Gate City as his lawyer to defend him. Taylor Berry, John Moss and Sam Wax of Gate City knew about Col. Richmond's involvement in the case. They wrote a letter to Dack Ramey and forged Col. Richmond's name on the letter.
The letter told Dack Ramey and his brother Bill and John to meet him at the Cross Roads store in Copper Ridge on legal business at a certain day and hour.
Berry, Moss and Wax concealed themselves behind bushes and waited for the Rameys, who arrived on the appointed time. After waiting awhile and Col. Richmond did not show up, they became suspicious and turned their horses around to ride home when the men called "halt" then shot Dack Ramey, killing him instantly and critically wounding his brother Bill. They told John to throw down his gun or they would kill him.
They hauled Dack Ramey's body to the Cross Road's store and then to Gate City. He was buried at the Ramey graveyard in Miller Yard. The place called "the Dack Ramey killing place."
The Hugh Moore home was originally owned by Isaac and Dorinda Powers, my grandparents. My mother, Leona Powers Osbome, her brothers and sisters went to school at Moore's Gate school house. They sold the home and farm to Hugh Moore and moved to Powers, later known as Miller Yard.
