HENRY H MOORE, farmer, sec. 20, Hinton Tp., was born March 28, 1849, in the 
State of New York, and is the youngest of a family of seven children.  His 
father, Hiram Moore, was a native of New Hampshire, and went to New York when 
a boy, where his father was one of the first pioneers.  The mother, Ann 
(Terrey) Moore, was born in the State of New York, where she was married in 
1829.  Her husband was unable to labor for 35 years before his death, having 
becom disabled by over-exertion.  He was cared for by his children during the 
later years of his life, and was the especial charge of his son H. H. Moore, 
some years previous to his death, which occurred March 13, 1873, of cancer of 
the stomach.  He was of a radical character, and during all his life was a 
consistent Christian man.

Mr. Moore of this sketch was 23 years old when his father died, and on the 
occurence of that event removed to Kenosha Co., Wis., and was there occupied 
as a carpenter six months, moving thence to Janesville, and three months later 
to this county.  In the spring of 1874 he bought 160 acres of unimproved land 
in Hinton Tp., worth at that time $1,000.  He built a frame house, and the 
first year cleared 20 acres; he now has 60 acres under improvement.

He was married in the State of New York, Nov. 23, 1869, to Emma L., third 
daughter of Asa and Louisa (Dow) Robbins, born in the Empire State, Jan. 26, 
1848.  Her parents were natives of Vermont, and were married in New York, 
where her father died Dec. 8, 1876.  Her mother is yet living, in Hinton Tp.

Mr. and Mrs. Moore are both persons of stable character.  Their tastes and 
inclinations lead them into the best avenues of thought and action, and they 
are intimately associated with all popular movements and reformatory issues, 
whether social, moral or religious.  Both were school-teachers, fond of books, 
and are correspondants of several local papers.  They belong to two distinct 
temperance organizations, and are actively interested in the M.E. Church, in 
which Mr. Moore has been a Class Leader most of the time since the 
organization of the society to which he belongs.

He is an inflexible Republican, and has officiated in several township 
offices, and failed of appointment to others only because of his radical 
temperance views.
