General Notes: Husband - Alfred Robert Moore

---

He was brought up in Beaver, Pennsylvania, attended the old academy and spent two years (1831-32) in Washington College. One of his first business exploits was assisting in the survey of the Erie canal. He afterward went on the river as clerk of a steamboat, and it being a busy time on the river he found it a very congenial place for an ambitious young man. He remained on the water for eighteen years. In 1847 he was elected treasurer of Beaver County; he then clerked for the county commissioners for four years. In 1860 he was elected register and recorder, and was re-elected in 1863. He served nine years as United States storekeeper. In 1887 he was elected justice of the peace.

He received his primary education in Beaver, Pennsylvania, and finished at Washington, Pennsylvania, under Prof. John L. Gow. After leaving college, he followed mercantile pursuits for a short time, but when the canal was built he obtained the position of rod- and chain-man, then became assistant engineer, and, by diligence and perseverance, gradually reached the top, and was given entire charge of Hartstown division in Mercer and Crawford counties. He became a splendid civil engineer, and steadily rose in the profession. His next position was that of superintendent of a canal in Indiana, but he subsequently returned to Beaver County, and accepted a position as clerk on a steamboat, becoming afterwards the owner of two boats. He was a captain on the river for nineteen years, but gave up that position for that of store keeper and gauger in the internal revenue office, which he kept for nine years, resigning during Cleveland's first administration.
He served one term as justice of peace at the county seat of Beaver County. He went to Canton, Ohio, where he accepted a position as bookkeeper in the Canton Bank, retaining this for two years. In 1868 he accepted a position as cashier for the Economite Society and went to Tidioute, Warren County, to attend to that company's large oil and lumber interests. He served in that responsible position for five years, when he went into the internal revenue office in 1873.
He always gave much attention to politics and was an active worker in his party. He was county treasurer, clerk of the county commissioners, register and recorder, and held various other offices. He was a member of the F. & A. M.

He was educated in the common schools and at Washington College. He was a civil engineer and laid out part of the Erie Canal, known as the Hartstown division; afterwards he engaged in the canal boat and steamboat business for many years, retiring from this business about 1857. He was county treasurer, clerk of commissioners and register and recorder of Beaver county, closing his term as register and recorder in 1866, and afterwards engaging in various occupations. He was United States store-keeper and guager, justice of the peace of the borough of Beaver, and also in Warren county, where he removed after the death of his first wife.
