General Notes: Husband - John R. Moore, M.D.


He spent the days of his youth in Pennsylvania, Ohio and Kentucky, living three years in the latter state. After his father's death his mother returned to Pennsylvania with her family and took up her residence at McKeesport. Mr. Moore's literary education was received in common and academic schools and under private tutors. At the age of twenty-one years he began reading medicine with Drs. Hill and Sheldon of McKeesport, and in 1854 graduated from Jefferson Medical college of Philadelphia. Prior to his graduation, however, Dr. Moore had practiced medicine three years in Allegheny township, Westmoreland county, whither he returned after completing his course, and successfully continued his practice there until 1864 when he located in Burrell township.
Dr. Moore for a number of years was a member of the County Medical society, but ceased attendance upon the meetings on account of the long distance he was obliged to travel. He was a republican, a member of the Presbyterian church and a school director of his township.
