teaching in the country schools. When he resigned this
position he entered teh Ohio Wesleyan University at Delaware and
after three years' study in that institution was made principal of
the high school at Upper Sandusky, a position in which he acted for
two years. Having determined, however, to make the practice of
medicine his life work, he entered the medical department of the
Western Reserve University at Cleveland and was graduated in 1882
with the degree of M. D. He returned immediately to Upper
Sandusky and formed a partnership with Dr. R. A. Henderson,

connected with the Independent Order of Odd Fellows. He is a
democrat in his political beliefs and active in local politics,
having served as a member of the school board for many years.

of service as corporation treasurer and was also health officer for
some time and coroner for two terms. His ability and skill
along professional lines have been demonstrated in the successful
handling of a number of complex medical cases, and he is highly
esteemed, not only as a professional man but as a citizen and friend
to humanity, who uses his knowledge for the good of his fellowmen.

the business world in the employ of others but gradually earned the
capital that enabled him to engage in business on his own account.

which to add to the successthat he has already achieved. He
was born in New Lexington, Ohio, May 20, 1884, a son of Jacob R.

During the youthful days of John R.
Moore the family lived in Lima, Ohio, where he attended the
public schools to the age of eighteen years. He then began
earning his own living and for five years worked as a cigar maker.

was sufficient to enable him to engage in business for himself as
proprietor of a grocery store in Port Clinton, Ohio, where he
remained for four years. He then sold out and returned to
Lima, where he became connected with the wholesale liquor trade as a
clerk. He then went to Upper Sandusky as manager of the
business there conducted by the Lima firm and in 1911 he bought out
the branch of the business in this city and has since been its
proprietor. He has become well known here and has a liberal
patronage which is making his enterprise a profitable one.
