m 19th. I give and bequeath unto the Association for the care
of Colored Orphans of Philadelphia, called the Shelter for the
use and benefit of colored orphans of both sexes, to be paid
into the hands of the treasurer for the time being, for the use
of said Society all the rest and remainder of my estate.

I wish my Executors or Trustees _to carry out_ my views in
regard to the education of colored children in Canada, by paying
over the interest arising annually from the twelve hundred
dollars mentioned in the second item to such school or schools
as in their judgment they may deem best. My desire being the
benefit of such children who may be in the same neighborhood
with them. The interest arising from the twelve hundred dollars
mentioned in second item for the purpose of educating colored
children in Canada is intended to remain perpetual.

I give and bequeath to William Still, of Philadelphia, now
employed in the Anti-slavery office, in Fifth St., Philadelphia,

executors and trustees to pay over that amount out of my estate.

Esther Moore was not rich in this world's goods, but was purely
benevolent and rich in good works towards her fellow-men, hating every
form of oppression and injustice, and an uncompromising witness against
prejudice on account of color. Such a friend as was Esther Moore during
these many dark years of kidnapping, slave-catching, mob violence, and

after one of the executors in company with his wife, Dr. J. Wilson and
Rachel Barker Moore, visited the various settlements of fugitives in

testator has been dead seventeen years, her legacy is still doing its
mission in her name, in a school, near Chatham, Canada West.
