He has been a member of the Methodist Episcopal church for many years. The old style Scotch practice, so eloquently described in Robert Burns' "Cotter's Saturday Night,: seemed peculiarly appropriate to Mr. Doore's whole-souled, yet simplicity of, character, and the morning worship thus conducted will ever be remembered by the writer of this sketch. Mr. Doore was born in Dover, Piscataquis County, Maine, Nov. 7, 1813. He was a son of Joel and Hannah Doore, one of Piscataquias' early settlers. The family consisted of eight sons and three daughters. Of course in those early days, even East, schools were in a rude and primitive state, in consequence of which no one received but a common school education, and education, like many other branches of vital importance to the development of character, being dependent on a mans mind, his powers of self restraint, observation, integrity of charter and purpose. He has always followed the farm as a means of livelihood, with the exception of one year, which he spent in California in 1849 - '50. He married Miss Sarah Cushing, daughter of James and Nancy Cushing. The names of the children born to them are - Eliza N., James N., Nancy C., Isley O., Allen J., and Pauline S. Eliza N. married Charles Ramsdell and is living directly opposite her father; his two sons, Isley O., and James N., were of the first of those brave volunteers who left the comforts of their homes, their social and domestic pleasure, and who severed for the time the ties which linked them to their families and friends, to rally for the defense of their country and the institutions under which they had been permitted to enjoy these comforts, pleasure and affections; to face the stern realities of grim-visaged war; to endure the hardships and privations of the field; to inhalethe pestilential emanations from Southern swamps; to languish in sickness and pain, and to find solitary and unknown graves where neither father, nor mother, nor brother, nor sister could come to drop affection's tears. And thus they died, and lie with thousands of unknown and unmarked graves, the former near New Orleans, where he died of fever, November 1862; the latter on Ship Island, of the same disease, July 17, 1862. But their patriotism and their sufferings, in the hearts of their towns' people, and on the Roll of Honor, shall be an enduring monument. Pauline S. married Clifton Huckins, M. D., son of Deacon Huckins. Mr. Huckins was the first and only physician in Pleasant Grove. Mr. Doore moved from Maine in 1869, buying 160 acres in section 32. He brought with him Maine ways and economy - the wholesome teachings of thrifty, broad-minded parents, as all New Englanders of the past generation, who reared large families among the rocks and forests and the hills of the East, were. From these teachings he has been able to meet the world in a practical and yet pleasant way, and to have accomplished in these few years of Western experiences what many of our more Western residents, with an easier notion of life and methods, have been years longer in doing. He has fine buildings, a barn about 40 x 60, and his manner of husbandry evinces plainer than words its practicability. Politically he is a Republican, and when a resident of Maine held the various town offices at different periods. He crops this year about forty acres of spring wheat, twenty acres of oats, fifty acres of corn; has a large number of horses, and about fifty pigs.
