Virginian-Pilot  September 10 & 12, 1955
Alfred G. Moore, 64, of 1208 Gates Avenue, president and organizer of the lumber 
firm bearing his name, and resident of Norfolk since 1920, died yesterday at 
8:35 a.m. at a Norfolk hospital shortly after suffering a heart attack at home.
His death was unexpected, since he had been at his lumber concern, at 38th 
Street and Hampton Boulevard, Thursday.
A native of Wimbledon, Surrey, England, his late parents were Felix Caffyn and 
Mrs. Eliza Tindall Moore.
Mr. Moore went to Canada in 1907, and, when World War I broke out, he enlisted 
in the Canadian Army and served over-seas with the cavalry. He wore the military 
cross for valor in action.
Founded Company
In 1920, he came to Norfolk and soon went with the Blassingham Lumber Company, 
subsequently becoming its vice president and general manager. When the firm was 
dissolved in 1946, he organized his own company and became president.
He was a member of Ghent Methodist Church, the American Legion and its 40 and 8, 
Norfolk Lodge 38, B. P. O. Elks, the Norfolk Yacht and Country Club, the Isaak 
Walton League, the Norfolk-Portsmouth Traffic Club, the Norfolk Sports Club, the 
Norfolk Chamber of Commerce, the Foreign Commerce Club and the Hampton Roads 
Maritime Association.
 Wedding Postponed
The family yesterday announced postponement of the wedding of his daughter, Miss 
Eileen Conroy Moore, to George Coughlin, originally set for today at 11:30 a.m. 
at Sacred Heart Catholic Church. The date will be set later.
Surviving are his wife, Mrs. Lena Blassingham Moore; a second daughter, Miss 
Patricia Pringle Moore; two sons, Alfred George Moore, Jr., and Edward Tindall 
Moore, all of Norfolk; five grandchildren; two brothers, Charles H. Moore, of 
Surrey, England, and Harold A. Moore, of Canada; and one sister, Mrs. May 
Greatwood, of Surrey, England.
The body was removed to the H. D. Oliver Funeral Apartments. Arrangements were 
incomplete last night.
