JOHN E. MOORE,

M.D., P.O. Knobnoster, is an enterprising farmer, and a regular
physician, of the northeast portion of Jefferson township.  He was born

Moore, is also a native of that state, and now resides in Washington
township, this county, near Knobnoster.  His wife was Miss Dilyon Scott.
The doctor was sent early to the common schools of his native state, and
in 1861-2 attended McKendre college, at Lebanon, Illinois.
Subsequently, he graduated on March 16, 1865, at Jones's Commercial
College, in St.  Louis.  He then engaged in farming and stock-raising
till 1868, when he commenced the study of medicine under Drs.  J.W. and
J.H. Bronough, prominent physicians  of Calhoun, Henry county, Missouri,
and during the autumn and winter of 1871-2 he entered the St. Louis
Medical College, where he graduated with honors in 1873, and set up to
practice at O'Fallon, Illinois, where he remained till 1879.  Here he
had a good practice and circle of friends.  At this place, on November

McFarland, respectable citizen.  She was born October 7, 1853.  The
fruit of this union is one girl, Nellie.  In 1879, Dr. Moore came to

valuable books besides his medical library.  Being intelligent and
sociable the people find him a safe physician.  Although he affiliates

stands high, with a bright future before him.
