HON. A. P. MOORE is a native of Ohio. He came to Plumas county from Marysville
prior to 1858, and engaged as clerk and book-keeper for Jerry Ford, a Quincy
merchant. He was married December 27, 1858, by Rev. P. Grove, to Miss Anna E.
Martin, daughter of Reuben T. and Letitia M. Martin of Mississippi. He then
opened a mercantile establishment with Harlow Pierson but the firm failed in
business. He subsequently made a mercantile venture in Quincy on his own
account, and was reasonably successful. In January, 1864, he was appointed by
Governor Low to fill the position of county judge left vacant by the sudden
death of Israel Jones, and held the office till January, 1866, when he was
succeeded by E. T. Hogan. Judge Moore was the democratic candidate for county
judge in the fall of 1869, and was elected by thirty majority over G. C.
Charles, the republican candidate. He presided over the sessions of the court
till 1874, when E. T. Hogan became his successor a second time. Judge Moore was
an old-line whig, and upon the breaking out of the war, espoused the cause of
the Union. He was a republican until President Johnson's administration, when he
went over to the democracy. His record as county judge was very fair, and for
one not bred a lawyer, acquitted himself creditably. He always took an active
part in politics. In 1872 he sold out his Quincy business, and upon his
retirement from office opened a store at Oakland. He is now merchandising at
Geyserville, Sonoma county.
