Kit Carson Pierson Moore, adopted son of William Nelson and Lucinda Sweeney Moore.
K. C. MOORE started the practice of law in Tyler County twenty years ago, and his sound abilities have brought him a large practice and growing influence in the affairs of his native county. He is a resident of Middlebourne, and is a member of a family that for four or five generations has been identified with West Virginia, chiefly as farmers, and always as good substantial citizens of their respective localities.
For several generations the Moore's lived in Monongalia County, where the family was established by the pioneer, Alonzo Moore, who came from Maryland and was a farmer.
Alonzo was the great-great-grandfather of the Middlebourne attorney. His son, Phillip Moore, was also a native of Maryland, but spent his active life as a farmer in
Monongalia County.
K. C Moore, who was born October 16, 1874, grew up in Jacob's Mills on the old homestead and had the advantages of the rural schools. He spent one year in the West Liberty Normal School and graduated Bachelor of Pedagogy in 1896 from West Virginia Wesleyan College at Buchannon. He spent two years in West Virginia University Law School and in 1900 was admitted to the bar and began practice at Sistersville, WV. A year later he moved to Middlebourne, where for twenty years he was busily engaged in handling civil and criminal practice, and since 1912 was a member of the firm, Underwood & Moore, one of the best known law firms in Tyler County. Mr. Moore was prosecuting attorney of Tyler County from 1908 to 1912. He was active in the republican party and was a delegate to the state, congressional and judicial conventions and was seldom missed attending conventions for the nomination of judicial and congressional candidates. He was a member of the State Bar Association. During the war, Mr Moore gave precedence to each work as he could perform for the Government, including the filing out of questionnaires for recruited Men in the county and as a Four Minute Speaker in behalf of the Liberty Loan, Bed Cross and other drives.
At Alma, West Virginia, in 1906, he married Miss Edna E. Conaway, daughter of Dr. Eli B. and Mary Elizabeth (Smith) Conaway. Her mother still lives at Alma, where
her father was a greatly loved country physician, practicing medicine forty-seven years. Mrs. Moore finished her education in West Virginia Wesleyan College at Buckhannon. She has two children, Richard Conaway born September 9, 1907, and Mary Virginia, born August 13, 1909.
