Born in Union City on Oct. 20, 1902, to Edwin Moore and Ida Frances Forrester, he attended the former Pleasant Valley School as well as Pleasant Valley United Methodist Church in Union City, where he remains an active member. He married Ruth Swann Merchant on Dec. 12, 1943, who died in 1999. He has resided at Union City Residential Care Center since July 2000. Family and friends gathered recently at the center to help him celebrate. Sharing refreshments, stories, memories and old photos were a vast number of people, including his four children, Patricia Rodgers of Atlanta; Edwin Stone II of Palmetto, Fla.; Sara Bryant of Knoxville and Peggy Stone of Dallas, Texas. His special treat for the day was a ride in a mule-drawn wagon, with his family to his homeplace and out on the farm. The wagon ride was provided by the Al McCullough family. A special guest for the day was Charles Hendry "Charlie" Keyser, son of Catherine Rodgers Keyser and grandson of Patricia Stone Rodgers. Charlie is the honoree's first great-grandchild.
