Portland Observer, 11 Dec 1919

Old Resident Died At Ripe Age of 86.

Lyman Moore, Veteran Of Cooper’s Trade, Passes Away Friday.

Lyman Moore, for many years a resident of Portland, passed away Friday evening
at 9:00 at the home of his daughter, Mrs. Harvey Sowle, in Culvertown, from a
general breakdown caused by extremely old age.  He had been infirm for several
years and during the past few months his decline had been unusually rapid.  He
had made his home with his daughter, Mrs. Sowle, since last April.

Mr. Moore was more than 86 years of age at the time of his death, having been
born in the village of Saline, Washtenaw county, Michigan, July 21, 1833.  He
was married three times, all of his wives having preceded him in death.  His
first wife, whose maiden name was Cowles, died October 11, 1867.  They were
married September 24, 1851.  His second wife, Sarah Knowles, whom he married on
November 19, 1864, died September 24, 1868, and his third wife, Mrs. Carrie
VanDyke, whom he married on October 25, 1885, died February 9, 1909, in
Portland.  The children surviving Mr. Moore are Mrs. Fred Towner, of Danby,
Archie VanDyke, of Beaverton, Michigan, John Moore, of Detroit, and Ernest
Moore, of Eaton Rapids.

Mr. Moore was a cooper by trade and followed this occupation in Portland for
many years.  He was unusually proficient in this line of work and was always
envied more or less by his fellow workmen for the splendid specimens of work he
put out.  He had been a resident of this village since he was a comparatively
young man and for many years made his home on south Lincoln street, near the
standpipe.
