General Notes: Husband - William A. Moore
His birth occurred on the farm purchased by his father. His studies which included the languages were pursued under the direction of Reverends James S. Woods and John Hutchison, after which he returned to his home and at once became interested in the cultivation of the land which he acquired by inheritance on the death of his father. To this property he gave his personal attention until 1841, when McVeytown became his place of residence. Here he engaged in the grain business, though still retaining his ownership of the farm of which in 1851 he resumed the management. He had meanwhile embarked in a mercantile enterprise under the firm name of Steel & Co., which business connection was continued but a brief time. Mr. Moore was also identified with the banking firm of Moore, McWilliams & Co., established in 1872, of which he was president. Though educated as a Democrat of the Jeffersonian school of politics he afterward became a Whig and later a Republican, though he neither sought nor accepted office. He was a member of the Presbyterian Church of McVeytown of which he was for many years a trustee.
