township, now residing at Lenexa, is a native of the Buckeye State. He was 
born in Morrow county, Ohio, January 10, 1842, and is a son of Isaac and 
Charlotte (Chambers) Moore. The father was a son of Isaac Moore and a native 
of Luzerne county, Pennsylvania, and Charlotte Chambers was a daughter of 
James Chambers and a native of Morrow county, Ohio. Isaac Moore, father of

in 1853, and located in Clinton county. The family resided there until 1865. 
They came to Kansas in 1866, locating in Johnson county, one mile northwest of 
Lenexa, where the father died in 1867. Isaac and Charlotte (Chambers) Moore 
were the parents of seven children as follows: James Riley served in the Union 
Army during the Civil war and is now deceased; Martha died in 1914; George W., 
the subject of this sketch; Rebecca died in Iowa; Allie resides in Kansas 
City, Mo.; Sarah Jane, Kansas. City, Kan., and Wilber resides at De Soto. 
George W. Moore followed general farming and stock raising after coming to 
Kansas, until 1888, when he removed to Lenexa and engaged in the bee business 
and has provided one of the best-arranged apiaries in Johnson county, and at 
times has as high as 100 stands of bees. Mr. Moore owns two forty-acre tracts 
in Shawnee township besides three residences in Lenexa and eight lots. He has 
taken an active part in local affairs and takes a commendable interest in 
county and State politics. He is a Republican and has served as justice of the 
peace for fifteen years, and has held the office of police judge for four
