   JOSEPH MOORE, farmer, P. O. Forest, Hardin County, was born June 6, 1815, in
Beaver County, Penn., and when he was seventeen months old his parents, William
and Amelia Moore, brought him to Athens County, Ohio. The parents afterward
spent nine years in Delaware County, Ohio, and came in 1839 to Delaware
Township, this county, where they entered 160 acres of land from the Government,
and cleared up a farm. Of their thirteen children seven are now living: Mrs.
Margaret Durfee (in Rockport, Mo.), John (in Hancock County), Mrs. Eleanor
Gallant (in Delaware County, Ohio), Mrs. Charlotte Calvert (in Athens County,
Ohio), Samuel (in Delaware County, Ohio), Joseph and Mrs. Emily Gallant William
Moore died December 12, 1852, aged seventy-seven years, and his widow May 18,
1858, aged seventy-seven years; they were upright pioneers, highly respected by
all who knew them. The subject of this sketch spent eleven years of his life in
Delaware County, Ohio. He married, October 20, 1836, Miss Martha E. Thompson of
Athens County, Ohio, and they moved at once to Delaware County, Ohio, and from
there, in 1843, to their present home in Delaware Township, this county. Here
they have a fine farm of 236 acres of well improved land. Mr. and Mrs. Moore
have been blessed with six children, three of whom are now living: Sidney F. (in
Forest, Hardin Co., Ohio), Naaman T., and Mrs. Mary C. Gilbert, in Forest. Those
deceased are Mrs. Paulina Miller, Eebecca and Eliza E. Sidney F. and Naaman T.,
gave their services, from September, 1862, to the close of the war, in defense
of the Union. July 10, 1873, while cutting wheat with a reaper, our subject met
with an accident which resulted in the loss of his left leg below the knee. Mr.
Moore, formerly a Whig, has been a Republican since the organization of that
party. He has served his township for several terms as trustee, and is one of
the successful farmers and reliable citizens of Delaware Township, highly
respected by his fellow citizens.
