Bud, Auburn is also lovely, rolling hills horse country. My grandfather's grandfather lived in St. Paul for many years after moving from his native England and before 1873 when he took the family to Los Angeles. He served the Union Army as a band leader on the march to Gettysburg during the Civil War from 1861 to 1862 at the age of 45. Jim Sazevich, historian, has been ever so helpful supplying me with early images of St. Paul neighborhoods where my family operated second hand stores and grocery shops. They came to the U.S. sometime in the 1850s. I have the wife, Margaret Moore and children on a ship called the William Tapscott, 11-13-1856 from Liverpool to Castle Garden. I also have Alfred Moore & his brother, Charles, naturalization declarations. I was born 1952 and enjoy membership in the First Century Families of Los Angeles thanks to Alfred Moore the first, also known as the "Minnesota Auctioneer" and the "Unofficial Mayor of Los Angeles." He was active in the development of Los Angeles County real estate and a frequent contributor to the LA Times. Some day I hope to visit St. Paul where his shop was located on Third Street between St. Peter and Wabasha. He also had addresses at 267 and 269 Third (between Market or State and Pearl, I believe, according to old directories) next to the Presbyterian Church. Another address was 205 Bridge Square. His address at one time was No 28 Summit Avenue, St. Paul. His brother-in-law, John Merryweather, was in busines as a builder on Wabashaw Street. Together they sponsored and publicized St. George's Day "OLD ENGLISH" Tea Drinking and Social Dance in Market Hall, Wednesday Even'g April 23 1873. "$1 to the entire programme. Tea and Table at 8 o'clock Procure tickets of the following committee or any member of St George's Society: H. A.
