JOHN S. MOORE, D. D. S.—The subject of this sketch is a native of North
Carolina, born in Guilford county, June 1, 1832. At about twelve years of age he
was sent to Shady Grove academy, in the adjoining county of Rockingham, where he
received his education. He taught school one year in North Carolina, two years
in Virginia, and one year in Texas. On his return from Texas to North Carolina,
in 1855, he decided to adopt dentistry as his profession, R. D. Hay, M. D., D.
D. S., becoming his preceptor, and our subject graduated in his profession in
the Winter of 1859-60 in the Baltimore College of Dental Surgery. He continued
in his practice in Madison, Rockingham county, North Carolina, until the Spring
of 1868, when he moved west, and located in Pleasant Hill, Missouri, and there
secured and maintained a good practice for nine years, until the Spring of 1877,
when he came to California, stopping the first year at Danville, Contra Costa
county, when he decided to locate permanently at Martinez. He has here secured a
good practice, and enjoys the esteem and confidence of the community in which he
lives. Our subject was united in marriage in Madison, North Carolina, July 10,
1855, to Miss Emma R. Martin, by which union they have three surviving children:
W. A. (a dentist in Benicia), J. S. and Emma Lanier.
