The son of Robert & Anna (McKinney) Moore, in 1860, he was studying for the ministry and living in Carlisle. He stood 5' 7" tall and had dark hair and blue eyes.
A Civil War veteran, he enlisted in Carlisle August 5, 1862, and mustered into federal service at Harrisburg August 11 as a private with Co. A, 130th Pennsylvania Infantry. He claimed he contracted a leg problem while still in Harrisburg and "was ordered to Washington" and then "sent to Carlisle" for medical treatment at the barracks. Doctors ordered him to the regiment, then stationed in the Washington DC area. On the way, he contracted diarrhea and was hospitalized again. Doctors gave him "injections of starch." A fever ensued, and the army discharged him by surgeon's certificate October 23, 1862, at Union Chapel U.S. Hospital, Washington DC, for "chronic diarrhea and general debility following sunstroke."
He married Margaretta Beal "Retta" Stewart March 18, 1868, in Warfordsburg, Fulton County, and fathered Robert Stewart (b. 12/10/68) and Howard Beal (b. 09/10/76). In 1875, he moved to Danville and, in 1879, to Wrightsville, York County, then moved to Harrisburg, on to Renovo, Clinton County, and, in 1899, to Everett, Bedford County. His war health problems grew words until a doctor described him as "a physical wreck." Shortly before his death, a court ordered him confined in the Pennsylvania State Lunatic Hospital in Harrisburg but permitted him to die in his home at Harrisburg.
