(posted by judychrist1 on Moore-Howard tree on Ancestry.com)
Born in Logan Couny, near Bellefonaine, Ohio June 19, 1832, the son of John Moore, he lived 83 years, 7 months, 22 days and died September 2, 1915.

He came to Wabash in 1851 and lived there the rest of his life. In the winter 1852 he purchased the photography gallery of A. B. Snavely and was for many years a most successful and the only photographer in the city.

He married Amanda J. Sweet in 1856 and they had one child, Charles F., Amanda died October 23, 1858. In 1859 he married Anna Catherine Sweet, a sister of his first wife. Ten children were born of this union.

He was a large man, was said to be jovial and friendly and when he went to town on Saturday to his shopping would invite every one he met to come out dinner on Sunday. It was said that if every one had come his house wouldn't have been large enough to hold them.

He loved to drive out into the country and pick huckleberries and paw paws and to visit with his good friend of many years, Andrew Loman. He loved also to play cards and each Sunday afternoon you would fine him playing "pedro".

He was a talented whistler and every where he went children and adults alike would holler for him to whistle for them.

He did not belong to any church, being atheist until about a year before he died.

He is buried in Falls Cemetery at Wabash, Indiana.
