General Notes: Husband - Paul Calvin Moore


Public schools of Bellwood and Altoona, Pennsylvania, furnished Paul Calvin Moore's early formal education, and he not only completed his high school studies, but had eight years of private tutoring covering many branches of knowledge. He started his business career in 1899 as a clerk in the accounting department of the Penn­sylvania Railroad Company, in Altoona, remaining with that railway system until 1906, when he accepted the post of bookkeeper with the Central Trust Company of Al­toona. From 1910 to 1912 he was secretary-treasurer of the Altoona Gas Company, and in 1912 he was transferred to the auditing department of the United Gas & Electric Corporation, at No. 40 Wall Street, New York City. In 1913 he was again transferred, this time to Baltimore, Maryland, where he spent a year as secretary-treasurer of the Southern Gas & Electric Corporation. In 1914, while still serving in that capacity, he removed his offices to New York City, at No. 61 Broadway, where he remained until 1917. It was in 1917 that Mr. Moore came to Franklin, Pennsylvania, as trust officer with the Franklin Trust Company. He was also secretary of the Franklin Home Building & Loan Asso­ciation and of the News-Herald Printing Company, both of Franklin. In the Free and Accepted Masons he held the thirty-second degree of Ancient Accepted Scottish Rite Masonry, and he also belonged to the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. He was a Republican in politics and a member of the Presbyterian Church.
