CHARLES S. MOORE, farmer, sec. 9, Aetna Tp., was born July 21, 1836, in New 
York.  His parents, Hiram and 

Mary A (Torrey) Moore, were of genuine English extraction and natives of New 
York, where they lived to 

advanced age.

Mr. Moore was born in Allegany County, and remained under the parental roof 
until 24 years of age.  In the 

spring of 1867 he went to Kenosha Co., Wis., and three years later the family 
came to Aetna Tp., and pitched 

their tent on sec. 9 with the determination to fix a permanent abode.  Mr. 
Moore purchased 80 acres of 

heavily timbered land, whihc 13 years of toil has placed in fair rank with the 
best farms in the township, 

having 50 acres tillable and in a high state of cultivation.  Politically, Mr. 
Moore is a decided 

Republican.  The parents have been connected with the M. E. church several 
years, and are greatly interested 

in the cause of education and moral elevation of the young.

Mr. Moore was married in 1860 to Alida M., daughter of Asahel and Catherine 
(Vrooman) Moors.  Her father was 

a native of Virginia, and her mother of New York.  Elroy B., oldest child, 
born June 19, 1862, is devoted to 

the study of mechanics, and is the object of the proud hopes of his parents.

1864; Morrell E., was born Dec. 10, 1865.  Bradley T, born March 22, 1870,
