				GEORGE W. F. MOORE. 

	George W. F. Moore, one of the progressive and active young 
business men of Sioux Falls, serving as general agent in South Dakota 
for the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company, was born in Blue 
Earth, Minnesota, March 14, 1883. He is a son of George D. and 
Elizabeth (Myers) Moore, the former a native of Green Springs, Ohio, 
and now a resident of Northfield, Minnesota. The grandfather of our 
subject, John Moore, was a native of Virginia. 

	George W. F. Moore acquired his education in the public schools 
of Blue Earth, Minnesota, and in business colleges at Fairmont, 
Minnesota, and Fargo, North Dakota. When he left the latter city he 
removed to Elmore, Minnesota, and there turned his attention to the 
life and fire insurance business. In 1908 he came to Sioux Falls and 
since that time has been a resident of this city, prominently connected 
with its business life. He has continued his connection with insurance 
interests and now occupies the responsible position of general agent in 
South Dakota for the Connecticut General Life Insurance Company. In 
this position he has done a great deal to promote the interests of the 
company and is regarded as one of its most reliable and capable 
representatives. 

	On the 9th of June, 1909, at Elmore, Minnesota, Mr. Moore married 
Miss Alice Marian Petters and they have two children, Gerald Louis and 
Janet Elizabeth. Mr. Moore is a member of the Congregational church and 
gives his political allegiance to the democratic party. He holds 
membership in the Elks Club of Sioux Falls, is a blue lodge Mason and 
connected also with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, the Knights 
of Pythias and the Sons of the American Revolution. He is a 
resourceful, energetic and capable business man, and his actions 
conform always to the highest standards of business ethics, so that he 
enjoys the goodwill and respect of all who are in any way associated 
with him.
