General Notes: Husband - Samuel T. Moore


In 1859, his parents removed to Altoona, Pennsylvania. Here he spent his boyhood. At eighteen years of age he entered the car shops of the Northern Central railroad at Elmira, New York. He was afterwards advanced to the position of conductor on the railroad from Canandaigua to Williamsport. His next position was on the "White Flyers" mail train running from New York City to Pittsburgh, on which he was injured in a wreck. He then retired from the road, and learned stenography. He took the dictations of editorials from Hon. David B. Hill while he was editor of the Elmira Gazette, and also from Hon. J. Sloat Fassett. Mr. Moore conducted a school in shorthand writing, and organized the Buffalo School of Shorthand, of which he was principal for two years. He then assumed a position with Hamilton & Mathews, wholesale hardware dealers, of Rochester, New York, which he held until 1886, when he came to Milroy, Mifflin County, Pennsylvania, and engaged there in civil engineering and surveying. He served as borough engineer of Lewistown. He was interested in agriculture, and was secretary of the Mifflin County Poultry and Agricultural Association, and also secretary of the Good Roads League. He was a Republican; he served as a justice of the peace. Captain Moore took an active interest in military and benevolent organizations. He was a member of the National Guards of New York State, of the I. O. O. F., the Knights of Pythias and other orders.
