JEHIEL TUTTLE MOORE, M. D. (Jehiel "Phill" Tuttle Moore)
Dr. Jehiel Tuttle Moore, medical practitioner and educator, was also the
promoter of that legislation which resulted in the establishment of the first
medical board of the state. Throughout his connection with Minneapolis he held
to and advocated the highest standards in the medical profession and no one was
more untiring or effective in his labors to bring the practice of medicine up to
an advanced point of efficiency. It was, therefore, with deep regret on the part
of the profession and of the public that the news was received of his death, in
August, 1911.
Jehiel Tuttle Moore was born October 4, 1848, in Oxford county, Ontario, Canada,
a son of Alexander Moore, who was a gentleman farmer. To the age of twenty years
Dr. Moore remained on his father's farm and attended the schools in his home
locality. In 1868 and 1869 he was a student in the Canadian Literary Institute
at Woodstock, Ontario, and in 1870 matriculated in the Collegiate Institute at
Gault, Ontario. While there pursuing his studies he also received private
instruction in the science of medicine from Dr. Joy, which was the initial step
in his preparation for active practice. He later became a medical student in
McGill University at Montreal and was there graduated with the class of 1874. He
practiced his profession in Canada for eight years and during that period filled
for a time the position of associate coroner for the County of Oxford and staff
surgeon for the Great Western Railway.
In the year 1883 Dr. Moore became a resident of Minneapolis and in the following
year he was one of the organizers of the Minneapolis College of Physicians and
Surgeons, of which he was dean for thirteen years, or until 1896, when the
school became the medical department of Hamline University. He taught theory and
practice in the school from its organization and from 1897 until the closing of
the department in 1908 he was its vice president and acting president. As an
educator he held high rank, imparting clearly, impressibly and readily to others
the knowledge he had acquired and stimulating students to do their best in
preparing for a professional career. His standards in practice were extremely
high and in 1886 he presented a resolution to the State Medical Society, which
ultimately resulted in the appointment of the first medical board by the
legislature to control the requirements for medical practice in the state of
Minnesota. This board is the direct outcome of this first appointment which was
made and there was no one who rejoiced more heartily in the advancement of the
professional standards than did Dr. Moore. He understood fully the great
responsibilities that devolved upon the physician and believed in the most
thorough preparation and in the utmost allegiance to the highest ethics of the
profession.
In 1876 Dr. Moore was united in marriage to Miss Frances Winifred Joy, a
daughter of his former preceptor. Dr. and Mrs. Moore became parents of one
child, Maude, who was a graduate of the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New
York in 1894 and is now teaching in the McPhail School of Music, Oratory and
Dramatic Art. During his residence in Canada Dr. Moore was a supporter of the
liberal party and after coming to the United States he gave his allegiance to
the republican party. The greater part of his life, however, was conscientiously
given to his professional duties. He belonged to the staff of St. Barnabas
Hospital and daring 1896 was chief of staff. He enjoyed an extensive private
practice and he was a member of the Henne-pin County and State Medical
societies, also the American Medical Association, thus keeping in touch with the
advanced thought, researches, discoveries and purposes of the profession. In
religious faith he was a Catholic, a member of St. Stephen's church. He strictly
adhered to the high ideals which he set up for himself in professional service
and in personal relations and no man has more fully deserved the respect,
confidence and honor of his fellow townsmen than did Dr. Moore.
