  CHARLES W. MOORE, manager of the meat market for the Madera Trading Company, 
at Madera, Pa., and the owner of one of the fine residences of this place, was 
born in Blair county, Pa., in 1845, and is a son of Jesse and Eliza (Smith) 
Moore.
  The parents of Mr. Moore were farming people in Blair county and spent their 
lives there, the father dying when Charles W. was ten years old.  Their other 
children were Ada, Jesse, James, Lucretia, Samuel and Candace.
  Charles W. Moore enjoyed no other educational opportunities than those offered 
by the common schools of Blair county.  For twenty-two years after leaving 
school he followed farming and then went into the meat business, with which he 
has been connected ever since.
  In 1873 Mr. Moore was married to Miss Emma Hewitt, of Hollidaysburg, and they 
have the following children:  Samuel, Thomas, William, Walter, John, Maude and 
Helen.  Maude is the wife of H. B. Swoope.  Mr. Moore and family attend the 
Presbyterian church.  In politics he is a Republican but has accepted no office 
except membership on the school board, on which he served for several years.
