MONTAG G. ADOLPH, meat mar- ket, 422 N. 5th ; residence between Chestnut and Cherry ; born in Germany in 1840; came to the United States in 1851 and located in Quiney: married Amelia Heidenrich in 1866. She was born in this city in 1848. They have six children: Emma, Charles, Dora, William, Eddie and Ida. He is a Democrat; member of A. O. U. W. and K. P. He has been in business since 1874.

MOORE FRANCIS C., the young- est child of Col. John Moore, was born at Hempstead, Queen's county, Long Island, State of New York, on the 9th day of July, 1796. He attended school until about four- teen years of age, when he entered the serv- ice of Abraham H. Van Vleeck & Co. About the first of Sept. 1814, being then a little over eighteen years old, he was drafted into Cap- tain Richard Carman's company of the 100th Regt. Queen's County Militia, David Bedell, Colonel commanding (the war of 1812 with England). The regiment was stationed at Fort Green, on Brooklyn Heights. He served with his company until Jan. 1, 1815, when peace was declared. The pay of a soldier at that time was six dollars per month. He was married on the 13th of April, 1819, to Julia Ann Munn, eldest daughter of Stephen B. Munn, of New York City. He was en- gaged in the retail grocery business until the Ist of April, 1823, when he sold out and en- tered the service of his father-in-law, con- ducting his extensive real estate business for over ten years. In October, 1833, he entered into partnership with John Tillson, Jun., in the real estate business, at Hillsboro. Mont- gomery county, Ill., under the firm name of Tillson, Moore & Co. On the 1st of March, 1834, the business was removed to Quincy. The firm-Moore, Morton & Co .- located their office at what is now the northwest cor- ner of 24th and Chestnut streets, where they remained several years, when they moved into town. Mr. Moore continued in the same business until his death, which occurred on


the 8th day of Feb., 1874, at the age of 78 years.


In the spring of 1835 lie built a residence, then two miles from Quiney, on what has ever since been known as "Moore's Mound " (now Highland), where he resided until the spring of 1872. His wife dying soon after her arrival at Quincy, he was again married, on Easter Sunday, March 26, 1837, to Miss Mary Grant, daughter of Thomas and Sarah Grant, of Chatteras, Cambridgesliire, Eng- land. His last wife survived him two years. Mr. Moore was well known to the early set- tlers in this part of the county. For many years before there were any railroads in this part of the State he traveled on liorseback or in a sulky, examining lands in nearly every township in the "military tract." He left eight children, all of whom are at the pres- ent date (1879) living. They are: John L. Moore, Mrs. J. T. Baker, Mrs. S. G. Rowland and F. T. Moore, Quincy; Mrs. E. D. Jag- gar, Burlington, Iowa ; Mrs. Dr. Platt, China ; Mrs. F. C. Sherman and Dr. R. C. Moore, Omaha, Nebraska.


He was one of the founders of St. John's Church (now cathedral), then a small frame building on 6th street between Hampshire · and Vermont, and from the day of its organ- ization, March 26, 1837, to the day of his death, he was senior warden and otherwise connected with the government of the church.

MOORE F. T., son of F. C. Moore, was born at Quincy, April 7, 1838; about the age of sixteen he was apprenticed to Hayes, Woodruff & Co., carriage manufacturers, where he worked about four years. In 1858 he went to St. Joseph, Mo., as the agent of the above firm, and also to engage in busi- ness on his own account. The business not proving profitable, on account of the ap- proaching war and unsettled condition of the country, he returned to Quincy, and in July, 1861, enlisted in Captain Delano's company of the 2d Ill. Cav. Vols. On the 15th of Nov., 1861, he was elected 2d Lieu- tenant, vice Jos. L. Sawyer resigned. On

t he 6th of May, 1862, he was elected Captain, vice Delano, deceased. He remained in command of the company until the 15th day of June, 1865, when he was honorably dis- charged by reason of expiration of term of service. He participated with his company in the battles of Belmont, Madrid Bend, Hatchee river, Amite river, Coldwater river, Okalona, Jackson, Grierson, Mississippi raid, and numerous skirmishes in Missouri, Ten- nessee, Kentucky, Mississippi and Louisiana, from St. Louis, Mo., to Pensacola, Florida. Returning home, he went again to St. Joseph, Mo., where he remained about a year. He was here married to Miss Henrietta V. Gyles. In 1870 he removed with his family to Omaha, Neb., and from there to Beloit, Kansas, where he engaged in farming, returning again to Quincy in 1874. His wife dying soon after their return to Quincy, he was married, on the 22d of April, 1878, to Miss Mary E. By- water. He is at this date (1878) manager of the Quincy Opera House. He has had four children; two only, Francis and Susan, are living.


MOORE HON. IRA M., Attorney- at-Law; office, 433 Hampshire'; residence, 930 Hampshire. He was born in Fabius, Onondaga county, New York, March 25, 1834; studied law in the office of James W. Nye at Hamilton, N. Y., in 1853 and '54; was admitted to the bar in 1855, commenc- ing practice at Hamilton, N. Y .; came to Quincy, Ill., in 1868; married Miss Helen Root in Hanover township, Chatauqua county, N. Y., Nov. 12, 1862. She was born in Hartford, Conn., in 1837. Protestant. Politics, Liberal Republican. Was elected to the Legislature of the State of Illinois in 1872, and re-elected in 1874. Real and per- sonal property valued at $5,000.


MOORE JOHN, M. D. He was born in Parsonfield, York county, Maine, Sept. 5, 1814. His father, Harvey Moore : his grandfather, Harvey, a Captain in the Revo- lutionary War. His mother, Phoebe Chad- burn, the daughter of an able and distin- guished Baptist minister. Thus the subject of this sketch came of vigorous, stalwart stock; and cvidences are not wanting that these sterling qualities were not lost in trans- mission.


In boyhood, he had the advantages of the old common school and the New England


Academy. However, the young John, like the older John, was not one to be "cram- med " with the facts and figures of any pre- scribed curriculum. He made a poor mirror for the mere reflection of the thoughts and opinions of others. From a child, by an un- controllable mental bias, he thought for himself. He marked out novel and inde- pendent educational paths. It would not be surprising if he was the astonishment and despair of his early teachers. His boyhood proclivities in this direction have become the settled habit of a life-time. His peculiar ideas of, and warm enthusiasm over, self- culture, find in himself a happy illustration.


If the old adage concerning poets, be as true of physicians, John Moore was born a doctor. The boy, riding on a walking-stick and administering the healing mullein leaf to the unprejudicial inhabitants of a New England pasture, naturally came to larger circuits, with improved methods of locomo- tion and a more extensive materia medica.


Early in life, when such a course required mental independence and no little moral heroism, he became a convert to, and an earnest student of, the homeopathic school of medicine. He accepted it fully ; embraced it as a harmonious, satisfactory system, without suspicion or mental reservation ; not accord- ing it a quasi devotion, as some are said to recognize religion as suitable and beneficial to women and children. Many years of de- voted loyalty, no less than his marked and acknowledged success, are ample justifica- tion of his early choice.


He came from New England to La Salle county, Ill., in 1856. After practicing his profession here for some time, he entered the Hahnemann Medical College in Chicago receiving his diploma in 1861. He practiced successfully in Kankakee, Ill., until Dec., 1870, when he removed to Quincy.


He came, not only followed by the good will of his former patrons, but introduced by the "Medical Investigator" of Chicago, an authority in his school of medicine, and warmly recommended to the citizens of Adams county, as one of the best prescribers in the State.


The distinguishing characteristics of his professional life may be summed up in few, but significant, words. He has rare powers of mental analysis; unshaken faith in his adopted practice; conscientious devotions to

the interests of his patients; indomitable energy, and unflagging determination. No thinking man ever dreamed that he could be guilty of making medical experiments. Unquestionably animated by the highest and purest motives of his profession, his constant aim and his fixed purpose have been to save life and relieve suffering. To accomplish this end, he has remorselessly sacrificed, not only the social enjoyments that break the monotony and sweeten the bitterness of life, but also the relaxation ab- solutely necessary to physical vigor. He has lived with his patients, and with his books for the sake of his patients. For ser- vice and sacrifice like this there must be,- there Is,-a reward greater than can be fur- nished by any mere public acknowledge- ment or approval.


He married Elizabeth II. Emerson in Par- sonsfield, Maine, Dec. 14, 1852. She was born in that place March 9, 1825. Their union has resulted in four children, three living: William L., Hattie H., John (de- ceased), and Harvey Emerson Moore. Office 639, residence, 637 Maine street, Quincy.

He was born in Rahway, Union county, N. J., Jan. 13, 1835, and died Dec. 2, 1878. He was a citizen of Quincy for the past ten years, and during that time a member of the firm of Hynes & Moore, carriage manufacturers of very con- siderable notoriety, who have, by close atten- tion to business and fair dealing, built up an enviable reputation and very lucrative busi- ness.
