     E. Livingfield More, 66, member of a prominent family here and one of the 
leading lumbermen in the South, died this morning at his home in the Gainsboro 
Apartments after an illness of several days.  He had been in failing health 
for a number of years.
     Mr. More, son of Julia Nichol and E. E. More, was born at Belair, the 
home of his grandfather, William Nichol, on the Lebanon road.  He received his 
education at St. Paul’s school, Concord, N. H.  After being graduated there he

Centennial exposition as treasurer.  Shortly thereafter he moved to Alabama,

home with him there until her death in 1919.
     In 1898 he organized the Horse Shoe Lumber Company at River Falls, where 
the famous longleaf yellow pine lumber was manufactured, and remained 
president of the organization until it closed in 1929.  He also built the 
branch line of the Louisville and Nashville Railroad from Gergiana, Ala., to 
Graceville, Fla.
     In 1822, Mr. More constructed two hydro-electric plants on the Conecuh 
River and organized the River Falls Power Company of which he was president 
till 1929.  
     In 1925, he was married to Miss Ellen Stokes of Nashville.  They made 
their home both at River Falls and in the Gainesboro Apartments in Nashville.
     Mr. More was a member of the Belle Meade Country Club, the Hermitage 
Club, and the First Presbyterian Church of Nashville.
     Surviving him are his wife and their young son, Livingfield More, Jr.
