Mr. Moore was an early pioneer of the district. He was born in Iowa and spent nine years in California as a civil engineer on construction work on the Southern Pacific railroad. He came to this region in 1884 with his brother, Hiram Moore, who died four years ago, and settled on a farm that he owned at the time of death. He was married in 1887 to Eva D. Edwards, who, with two children, Mrs. Frank Evers and Alvah F. Moore, Reardan, survive. [Odessa Record: 12-18-1925] MARION F. MOORE, one of the eminently successful farmers of Lincoln county, now retired and residing at Reardan, was born near Davenport, Iowa, October 22, 1850. His parents were George and Emma (Knapp) Moore, the father a native of Pennsylvania and a pioneer of Iowa. They were married in Illinois where the mother died in 1866. The father passed away in 1898 in Washington. In 1865 he enlisted in an Illinois Infantry regiment and was engaged in numerous skirmishes with the Confederates, receiving an honorable discharge at the conclusion of the war. In 1874, at the age of twenty-four years, our subject having received a fair education, left home and engaged with the Southern Pacific Railroad Company as a surveyor, remaining with that company about thirteen years, during which period he was assistant engineer. He worked in the San Bernardino tunnel and was in advance of the Southern Pacific railroad through to Texas. In 1895 he came to the state of Washington and located eight and one-half miles north of the present site of Reardan, where he has at present a section and a quarter of land, a five-room house, good buildings, wind-mill and tank. At first Mr. Moore engaged in stock raising, but now devotes his attention to grain. In 1902 he removed to Reardan and purchased a twelve-room house surrounded by five lots in one of the best portions of Reardan. In Lincoln county, in the fall of 1887, Mr. Moore was married to Eva D. Edwards, a native of Kansas. They are the parents of two children, Eva D., fifteen years of age, and Alva F., eleven years old. Mrs. Moore's father was Asbury Edwards, and he was a native of Pennsylvania. Our subject was the second child in a family of four, two of whom are residents of Washington. He has been a member of the I.O.O.F. Mr. Moore is classed as one of the progressive, substantial citizens of the county and a liberal supporter of all public improvements.
