East Liverpool Crisis  
The descendants of John W. Moore, father of John W. Moore, Sr., of this city, 
and one of the earliest settlers of the county, held a reunion yesterday at the 
home of ‘Squire William Moore, two miles north of Calcutta.
	John W. Moore settled in St. Clair township in the year 1804 – when 
Eastern Ohio was an immense wilderness inhabited by trappers, and here and 
there a little colony of settlers. For some years prior to his death he was 
proprietor of the old Ohio house, in East Liverpool – which stood on Market 
street, at the corner of Fourth. He died in 1860.
	There are five children living – all of whom were present yesterday. 
The sons are John W. Moore, Sr.; William and Crawford Moore, all living in or 
near this city; and the daughters Mrs. Philander Gaston, of Clarkson, and Mrs. 
John Gelston, of Camden, N.J. – who is in this section on a visit.
	About seventy persons – representing 25 families – were present 
yesterday, representing three generation. An address was made by Rev. McKelvy, 
of Calcutta, and an excellent dinner was served by the host.
