GEORGE E. MOORE, D. D. S., of Frankfort, Clinton county, Ind., was born in
Acton, Ontario, June 3, 1868, and is a son of John and Jennie Moore. John
Moore, the father was born in Nickell, in 1841, and Jennie Moore, the
mother, was born in Ogdensburg, N. Y., in 1846. They were married at Guelph,
Ontario, November 1, 1865, and first located in Acton, where John Moore
engaged in the saw-mill and lumber business and remained there until 1873, and
then moved to Limehouse, Ontario, where he engaged in the lumber and lime
trade, was successful financially, and still resides there. To Mr. and Mrs.
Moore have been born four children-Charles, of Lancaster, Ohio, photographer;
George E., whose name opens this paragraph; and Albert and Frank, at home.
George E. Moore attended the high-school in Guelph, graduated in 1886, and
then for three years was employed as clerk in the wholesale hardware store of
J. M. Bond & Co.; he next entered the Ohio Dental college at Cincinnati; (the
second established in the United States) October 1, 1889, and graduated in
March, 1892, and then engaged as an assistant in Monroe, Mich., where he
remained one-and-a-half years; then passed a year in Chicago, and finally came
to Frankfort, and here achieved a fine reputation and built up a lucrative
practice considering the brief period he has been here. He has finely
equipped rooms and makes a specialty of crown and bridge work, the highest
branch of his art and the crucial test of the abilities of the artist. Dr.
Moore is a Knight of Pythias, and is personally a most genial gentleman.
