MOORE, MILTON -- Farmer and stock-raiser, section 33, township 78, range 16. Was born in Lorain county, Pennsylvania, February 25, 1830, where he continued to live until April, 1865, when he removed to Iowa and settled in the neighborhood where he now lives. He is a farmer by profession, and has always followed that and nothing else for a business. He was married on the 24th of June, 1856, to Miss Albertine Henan, a very intelligent and refined lady, who has been his stay and comfort in his sickness of the past three years. They have nine children: Mary A., Ella Z., Ida M., Alexander, Sarah A., Charles E., Daniel R., John H. and Edward G. He has a nice farm of 103 acres, partly on the ridge and partly on the bottom. Has it reasonably well stocked with horses, cattle and hogs. Has a nice lot of growing timber and has his farm in a good state of cultivation. He lives in sight of a fine school-house and on a main traveled road, his residence facing the south.
