BANCROFT — Thomas “Tom” Ransom Moore, 90, of Bancroft, passed away Monday, June 23, 2008, in Pocatello, Idaho.

He was raised and educated in Hatch, graduated from North Gem High School and attended Weiser, Idaho, vocational school. He had also lived at Midvale and Arimo, Idaho.
He married Jean Charlotte Pratt October 9, 1946, in the Idaho Falls LDS Temple.
