Note from submitter::

THERE WERE SEVERAL ERRORS IN THE NEWSPAPER WRITEUP ON DR. MOORE . FOR EXAMPLE, IT STATED HE WAS FROM " ZANESVILLE " WHICH IS ACTUALLY " JANESVILLE ." IT ALSO IDENTIFIED ONE OF HIS SONS AS "B. T. MOORE " BUT HIS NAME WAS B.A. MOORE, (MY FATHER.) A 3 MONTH OLD SON WAS IDENTIFIED AS "JAMES TREMONT MOORE "; HIS NAME ACTUALLY WAS JAMES FREMONT MOORE . ALSO, HIS DAUGHTER'S NAME MAY ACTUALLY BE "VORHES" INSTEAD OF "VOORHEES". FINALLY IT GAVE THE IMPRESSION MISS LOU ALLEY (MY GRANDMOTHER) WAS DECEASED, BUT OF COURSE, SHE WAS VERY MUCH ALIVE.
