General Notes: Husband - James Chambers Moore

---

He grew up at Saltsburg, Indiana County, Pennsylvania, and received his education in the public schools and academy there. In 1871 he went to Baltimore and became a time clerk in the office of the Northern Central Railroad Company, holding that position until 1875, when he was obliged to resign because of impaired health. Accordingly he returned to Saltsburg, where he became associated with his father in the store and tinning business, shortly afterward adding a large stock of hardware. The firm was William Moore & Son until January, 1886, when Ira C. Ewing became a partner, the name changing to William Moore, Son & Co.; Mr. Ewing was connected with the business six years. Eventually, James C. Moore was the only one of those three partners connected with the business, which was now conducted by the J. C. Moore Hardware & Supply Company (not incorporated), his associates being his son Logan R. Moore, J. F. Piper and F. E. Shupe. The stock originally carried was valued at $1,500, but was extended in various lines until $22,000 worth of goods were kept on hand. They were wholesale and retail dealers in hardware, paints, oil, glass, etc.; had a complete assortment of tin, copper and sheet iron ware, and another department for stoves, grates and various house furnishings, having a large patronage in every line, their customers coming from a wide territory around Saltsburg. They also made a specialty of all kinds of roofing.
Mr. Moore served as secretary of the board of trustees of Saltsburg cemetery; was president of the Board of Trade of Saltsburg; and was long a prominent member of the Saltsburg Presbyterian Church, which he served as treasurer. He was superintendent of the Sunday school for twenty-three years. He was at one time a member of the Knights of Honor, Junior Order of United American Mechanics and Knights of the Golden Eagle, as well as the Masons. Though a Republican in politics, in a Democratic community, he was elected to serve as a member of the school board and in various other offices, and he was burgess for five years. Later, he supported the Prohibition party. In his later years he spent the winters in Florida, where he had a cottage in De Land, 110 miles south of Jacksonville. [HIC 1913, 642]
