Edward Hawthorn Moren, a leading citizen of this county, was born in Dinwiddie 
county, Virginia, in 1825.  His father, a merchant and farmer, was several times 
a member of the senate of Virginia.  His mother was a Miss Crawford of Maryland.  
Graduating at a medical college in New York, he entered the United States army 
as an assistant surgeon.  He served in that capacity during the Mexican war, but 
resigned in 1848.  In 1853 he settled in Bibb, and for ten years devoted himself 
to his profession.  In 1861 he was chosen to represent Perry and Bibb in the 
upper house of the general assembly, and was re-elected in 1865, both times 
without opposition.  In 1861 he went into the army as surgeon of the 29th 
Alabama, and was subsequently in charge of a hospital in Greenville.  In 1870 he 
was elected lieutenant governor, and now holds the position.  Dr. Moren is 
portly and impressive in figure, with a grave but kind manner.  His talents are 
substantial and not showy, and he possesses nerve, energy, moral worth, and 
practical sense. He married a daughter of Hon. Sam’l W. Davidson, of this 
county.

Additional Comments:
Dr. Moren is buried in the Centerville Memorial Cemetery, Centerville, Bibb 
County, Alabama, along side his wife, Mary Frances Davidson Moren.  They married 
July 5, 1860 in Bibb County, Alabama.  She was roughly 15 years his junior.
