General Notes: Husband - William M. Moore


He passed his youth in Armstrong and Clarion counties, Pennsylvania, and obtained his education in the common schools of Porter township and New Bethlehem. He learned the trade of painter, which he was following when the Civil war broke out, at that time being in Monmouth, Warren County, Illinois. On March 27, 1862, he entered the service, becoming a member of Company G, 1st Illinois Cavalry, with which he was connected until honorably discharged at St. Louis, Missouri, as corporal, July 14, 1862. He reenlisted Oct. 7, 1862, in Company L, 14th Illinois Cavalry, becoming first sergeant when he joined that command, and was promoted to second lieutenant July 22, 1864, to rank from Nov. 14, 1863. He took part in the battles of Knoxville, (Tenn.), Kenesaw Mountain, Chattahoochee River, Decatur, Atlanta, Duck River, Franklin, Columbia, Nashville, and a number of minor engagements, and received his discharge at Pulaski, Tennessee, July 31, 1865.
On his return from the war Mr. Moore settled at New Bethlehem, Pennsylvania, where he then resided. In 1866 he engaged in the painting business, in which he established a lucrative trade. In 1902 he entered the mercantile business, carrying a large stock of groceries, and a comprehensive line of paints, wall-papers and other commodities of the kind.
He was an Odd Fellow, belonging to New Bethlehem Lodge, No. 725, and a Mason, in the latter connection holding membership in New Bethlehem Lodge, No. 522, F. & A. M., of which he was secretary for more than a quarter of a century; he was also a past master. By virtue of his army service he belonged to the G. A. R., Col. William Lemon Post, No. 260. He was a Republican in politics and a Baptist in religion, being a member of the church at New Bethlehem, of which he was a deacon from 1869.
