General Notes: Husband - Eli J. Moore

---

He was born on the family homestead farm in Muddy Creek township, Butler County, Pennsylvania, received a common school education, and remained with his parents until August, 1864, when he enlisted in Company A, Sixth Pennsylvania Artillery. He served until the close of the war, then returned to the homestead, and remained working on it for two years. At the end of this time he entered the employ of W. E. Kirker, of Harlansburg, Lawrence County, and clerked for him four years. He then returned to the homestead, where he thereafter resided, cultivating it in connection with a small farm of his own. He was an adherent of the Republican party, and filled the office of overseer of the poor for twelve years and school director for three years. He always took a lively interest in the local affairs of his township. Both he and wife were members of the United Presbyterian church, in which he filled the office of elder. He was connected with Watson Brothers Post, G. A. R., of Portersville.
