  WILLIAM S. MOORE, superintendent for the Corona Coal Company, at Madera, is an 
experienced man in his line of work and has climbed from a minor clerkship to 
his present responsible position through absolute merit.  There is very little 
sentiment about big business corporations and when they delegate important 
duties to a man it is very certain that he is deserving of them.  William S. 
Moore was born February 9, 1878, in Blair County, Pa., and is a son of Charles 
W. and Emma (Hewitt) Moore.
  Charles W. Moore was reared and educated in Blair county, where he followed 
farming for twenty-two years and then went into the meat business at Madera, 
with which he is still connected, being manager for the Madera Trading Company.  
He married Emma Hewitt, of Hollidaysburg, and they have seven children:  
William, Samuel, Thomas, Walter, John, Maude and Helen.
  William S. Moore attended the public schools at Brisbin and the High Schools 
of Madera and Houtzdale.  All his business life has been connected with the coal 
industry and for eight years he has been in the employ of the Corona Coal 
Company.
  Mr. Moore was married in 1898 to Miss Jane E. Shoff, a daughter of Robert and 
Hannah (Dewitt) Shoff, and a granddaughter of Samuel and Jane (Haggerty) Shoff, 
and of George and Rachel (Bloom) Dewitt.  Mrs. Moore was the eldest of nine 
children born to her parents.  Mr. and Mrs. Moore have four children, namely:  
Robert, Emma, Henry and Clyde.  Mr. and Mrs. Moore attend the Presbyterian 
church.  In politics he is a Republican but takes only the interest of a 
patriotic and earnest citizen who desires faithful men in public offices as well 
as in business concerns.  He is a Knight Templar Mason, belonging to the lower 
branches at Osceola, Pa., and to the Commandery at Williamsport.
