GEORGE E. MOORE. He who resides upon and is proprietor of the fine farm on
section 3, Lapeer Township, Lapeer County, is the gentleman whose name is given
above. He is the son of Capt. B. F. and Hannah M. (Martling) Moore. The father
was captain of a vessel on the lakes and settled at LaFayette, Ind., about 1858,
where he engaged in the grain business and came to Michigan in 1869, when he
purchased some pine land in Lapeer County and engaged in the milling and lumber
business. In 1872 he purchased the farm on section 3, which comprised three
hundred and forty-seven acres, most of which was under a good state of
improvement, although he had some stumping and clearing of stone to do, and
built one barn.

  Our subject's father was twice married; by the first marriage there were two
children. The second wife, who is now the widow of Mr. Brower, was the mother of
him of whom we write. She has one daughter now living by her first marriage and
is the mother of five children by the present marriage. They are Sands F., an
attorney in Detroit; Emma, who is Mrs. F. Hadley; Lizzie, who is Mrs. Forest
Hadley; Cynthia, Mrs. Brower, and him of whom we write.

  Capt. Moore died in 1884; his wife still survives and lives at Lapeer. Their
son and our subject, George E. Moore, was born December 28, 1864, in Lafayette,
Ind. He was educated at the High School in Lapeer and has always been at home.
He owns three hundred and seven acres of land of which two hundred and thirty
are under cultivation. He there carries on general farming, but devotes himself
principally to the raising of sheep, of which he has two hundred head. He also
has some fine horses, the Percheron being his favorite breed, and has besides
fourteen head of high-grade cattle.

  October 27, 1885, Mr. Moore was married to Miss Jenny Linton, a daughter of
Thomas and Margaret (Adams) Linton, a resident of Mayfield Township. She is a
Canadian by birth and was born August 18, 1862. She received a good
common-school education and is well-fitted to be the mother of the four children
that have come to these devoted parents. They are Maude, Benjamin F., Grace and
Bertha. Our subject is a member of the Knights of Pythias and also belongs to
the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, holding the office of Vice-Grand in the
order at Lapeer. He gives his vote and influence to the Republican party, but
his interest in politics is a secondary consideration to the management of his
own personal affairs.
