D. Of the men devoted to the science of healing in Butler county, none brings to bear upon his calling larger gifts of scholarship than Dr. Hugh Miller Moore, of Oxford. For the past decade and a half his name has been increasingly identified with the best tenets of medical and surgical science, and by many of the longest established and most conservative families his skill, resource and obliging temperament have come to be regarded and indispensable. Doctor Moore was born at Venice, Ohio, April 20, 1876, a son of Rev. D. R. Moore, D. D., and a grandson of Rev. William H. Moore, for many years a leading Presbyterian divine. Rev. D. R. Moore was born at Rising Sun, Ohio, and attended Miami university, where, he met as a fellow-student, Elvira Gilchrist, who later became his first wife, and Hugh Miller Moore was the only child of this union. She was a daughter of Dr. Hugh Gilchrist, a noted practitioner of medicine of his day. After graduating from Mi! ami university, Reverend Moore attended Lane seminary, where he received the degree of Doctor of Divinity and entered the ministry of the Presbyterian church, subsequently holding pastorates at Brookville, Logan, South Salem and Bond Hill, Ohio. When he retired from the ministry he adopted agricultural pursuits as his vocation, and at present is residing on a farm near Billingsville, Ohio. His first wife died at Brookville in 1881 and he later married Clara King, they becoming the parents of five children: Dr. Paul, a successful practising physician of Cleveland, Ohio; Stanley, a farmer, who carries on operations for his father; Ross, who is also engaged in farming, near Liberty, Ind.; Hazelett, a physician, engaged in practice in association with his brother Hugh M.; and Robert, aged seventeen years, who is a helmsman in the United States Naval Reserves. After attending the public schools Doctor Moore entered Miami university, where he secured the degree of Master of Sci! ence, following which he went to Johns Hopkins university for his medi cal training and was duly graduated after a brilliant college career with the degree of Doctor of Medicine. To further prepare himself for his life work, he took post-graduate work at Prague and Berlin, and eventually settled at Oxford, where he has since built up a gratifyingly large and prominent practice. Doctor Moore has the zeal which recognizes no limitations to his calling, and the great unrest which projects him into ever-widening channels of research. Energy, adaptability, gentleness and sympathy have blazed the way for the acquirement of valuable professional compensations, and a realization of professional ambitions, and by the same token it may be said of Doctor Moore that much is promised to a man who has, in addition, the maturity, practical experience and broad outlook on life of forty-three years. During the great war he offered his services to his Government, and was accepted as a member of the Medical Reserve Corps. In addition to his professional inte! rests, he has important connections in other fields of endeavor, and is vice-president of the Farmers Bank of Oxford, of which he was one of the organizers, and is the owner of a large farm in Franklin county, as well as valuable property at Oxford. He is a member of the various bodies of his profession, being a Fellow of the American Academy of Medicine, and has important associations in civic and social life. At the time he settled at Oxford, he was married to Gertrude Burrill, of Baird, Texas, who was a student at Oxford Female college. His present wife, with whom he was united February 19, 1919, was formerly Miss Elizabeth Beaton of Oxford, daughter of Daniel Beaton. on page 718: in bio on Percy C. TODD, he "purchased the establishment of E. T. MOORE & Sons Co., at No. 147 N. Third Street, Hamilton." on page 745: in bio on Herman H. WAGONFIELD, his father Gotlieb WAGONFIELD "was a young man when he emigrated to the United States, and tookj up residence in Butler county, where he met and married Mrs. Mary (SILVERS) MOORE, widow of Thomas MOORE, who had two children, Leander and Anderson, by her first marriage, both of these children now being deceased."
