Orison Moore

As printed in 1881

ORISON MOORE, Montrose. This gentleman was born in Brookfield Township, Trumbull Co., Ohio, Sept. 21, 1822. He is the son of Lester and Ruth (Twining) Moore, both of whom were natives of the Bay State. In 1812, Mr. Moore came to Ohio and purchased a tract of land in Trumbull Co., and two years later moved to his property and began its improvement. They remained in that county until 1*837, and then removed to Norton Township, this county. Mr. Moore was a soldier of the war of 1812, and held a Captain's commission. He was an energetic man, kind of heart, and ever ready to help his fellow-man. This last characteristic proved a detriment to him, as he lost heavily at different times by going security for those whom he thought to assist. In his family were eight, all of whom are now living, and who are the heads of respectable families. Mr. Moore died in 1859, and his wife in 1851. Orison Moore received such education as the schools of that early day afforded, and remained at home, assisting his father upon the farm until about 25 years of age. He was united in marriage to Miss Fanny Root Jan. 24, 1847. She was born in Summit Co.,

Ohio, Jun. 11, 1828, and died Jan. 19, 1875. On the 30th of March, 1876. Mr. Moore was united in marriage to Miss Zilpha Stark, who was born Nov. 15, 1842, in Stow Township, this county. Mr. Moore came to this county in 1837, which he has since made his home, with the exception of ten years that he resided in Portage Co. He has lived in Bath Township since 1864, where he owns a nicely-improved farm of 108 acres. He is a stanch Republican in politics, and one of the most practical and successful farmers and stock-i'risers in Bath Township.
