E. H. MOORE

E. H. Moore, only son of Robert Moore, Esq., was born in Wellsburg, 
April 4, 1814.  After preparatory study in the public and private 
schools of his native town, he entered Washington college in 1833, 
but on account of illness, was compelled to give up his studies when 
within a few months of graduation.  He soon after began the study of 
medicine with the late Dr. J. C. Campbell, and graduated from the 
Jefferson Medical college, Philadelphia, in 1840.  Returning to 
Wellsburg, he at once entered upon the practice of his profession, 
and continued it with singleness of purpose and great assiduity until 
his death, which occurred after but seven hours' illness, January 17, 
1878.  Dr. Moore possessed good natural ability, and was a close 
student, often sitting up for study until a late hour at night.  This 
habit of study, with close observation at the bed side, rendered him 
a scientific and skillful physician.  He was also an intelligent and 
refined Christian gentleman, and an active member of the Disciples 
church.  He had gathered around him a large and valuable library, not 
only of medical, but miscellaneous, books.  He was an ardent admirer 
of fine paintings and engravings.  The surroundings of his home 
always testified to the inner life and character of the man.  Dr. 
Moore joined the State Medical society the year of its organization, 
and was one of its four delegates to the San Francisco meeting of the 
American Medical association in 1871.  He was a member of the Rocky 
Mountain Medical association, honorary member of the Rush Medical 
society, and also of the California State Medical society.  At the 
time of his death, Dr. Moore was the recognized head of the medical 
profession in Brooke county.
