Charles B. Moore a member of the Morris Lumber Company, of Morris, Illinois, 
has been engaged in his present line of business for the past twelve years, 
and since 1894 has been a resident of Morris.  

Mr. Moore is a native of Illinois, born in Rock Island, June 2, 1859, a son of 
Daniel G. and Maria M. (Weiser) Moore. Daniel G. Moore was a native of Ohio, 
and his wife of Pennsylvania. They came west with their respective families 
when quite young and were reared and married at Rock Island. When their son, 
Charles B., was a year old they removed to a farm in Bureau county, Illinois, 
and lived there until he was twelve, their next move being to the town of 
Sheffield, Illinois, where the parents lived for twenty years. They are now 
residents of Iowa.

Charles B. spent the most of his school-boy days in Sheffield, and is a 
graduate of the high school at that place, with which institution he was 
subsequently connected as teacher. After finishing his high-school course, he 
was for three years employed as a teacher in the grammar school of Sheffield, 
one year as assistant principal in the high school and three years as 
principal. In June, 1887, he went to Nebraska and located at Arcadia, where he 
turned his attention to the lumber business, a business with which he has 
since been connected. He spent seven years in Nebraska, at various points, and 
from there in 1894 returned to Illinois and took up his abode in Morris. Here 
he entered into a partnership with J. H. Pattison, with whom he was associated 
until December, 1897, when Mr. Pattison sold out to Mr. Moore and Mr. Fred L. 
Stephen, who constitute the Morris Lumber Company, and who are doing a 
prosperous business.

Mr. Moore was married in Sheffield, in 1884, to Miss Annie L. Howard, and they 
have an interesting family of three little daughters. Mr. Moore harmonizes 
with the Republican party and maintains fraternal relations with the Knights 
of Pythias and Knights of the Globe.
