A WELL KNOWN MAN
Nearby Village Laments the death of her most respected citizen, who expired Monday, after an a eventful life of 91 years. Aided Negro Cause in 61 and Founded a College in the State of Tennessee.
Amherst, Nov. 22:-DR. A. C. Moore, aged 91 years, pioneer, philanthropist, the oldest male resident in this vicinity, passed peacefully to the great beyond, at two o'clock Monday afternoon, death being due to the infirmities, due to old age.
Dr. Moore graduated from the Cincinnati Medical College in the early forties, practiced a year at Mentor, O., and then was attracted to this section by the building of the L. S. and M. S. Railroad, then known as the Cleveland and Toledo division, built in 1853. As the Railroad would pass Amherst, he selected this place as him permanent home. In Amherst as a resident for 60 years he was engaged in active practice for 42 years, his advanced age forcing the veteran doctor to retire 18 years ago.
As a philanthropist he gave thousands of dollars toward the maintenance of schools, colleges, hospitals and in promoting foreign missionary work.
For 35 years he furnished sufficient money to maintain a missionary in Japan and one in China. He loved the negroes and helped their cause, as he did the cause of anyone that was mistreated. The doctor's convictions were strong at the time of the Civil War and his last regret was that he could not fight for the negroes and the abolishion of Slavery in "61-65". He made up for his inability to go to war by establishing a negro college in Tennesee.
Dr. A. C. Moore was born at Kirtland, O., Oct. 13, 1818. He was one of the five sons of Isaac Moore. In 1855 he was married at Amherst to Elizabeth Onstine. One daughter, Mrs. Lucy Cornelia, wife of Attorney H. G. Redington, also two brothers, Milo of Farmer City, Ill., and Henry of Los Angeles, Cal., and three grandchildren, Ray and Blanche of this place and Attorney Harry M. Redington, of Elyria, survive him.
As a boy of 14 years, Dr. Moore talked with his grandfather, John Moore, who fought in the revolutionary war. He also hauled wood into Cleveland when the metropolis of Ohio was the size of Amherst.
The veteran doctor leaves a large circle of friends throughout Lorain County, who extend sympathy to the family in their hour of bereavement. Funeral service will be held from the late home at 3:00 o'clock Wednesday afternoon, Rev. P. E. Harding to officiate and the remains will be interred in the family vault in Cleveland Street Cemetery.
