Appendix.


The following information concerning
my children and grandchildren is added
as a matter of genealogical record.

     Charles Edgar Moore was born February 8, 1864. He started to school at the "Phil Moore" school house, and in 1882 entered Baker University, graduating in the class of 1887. He then entered the real estate and abstract business with his father in Eureka. On July 8, 1890, he was married to May Morgan, of Eureka. As a man he has always been interested in politics. He was a delegate to the Republican National Convention in 1916. During the World War he spent much time and money in Red Cross work. In 1922 he was elected to the Kansas Legislature, representing the 47th district.

     Morgan Edgar Moore, the only son of Charles Edgar Moore, was born February 22, 1895. He attended the Eureka High School, and Baker University. He was a soldier in the World War, serving with the Eighth Depot Battalion of the Signal Corps. After returning from overseas, he went into his father's business. On May 20, 1922, he was married to Lucy Rockhill, of Eureka.

     Effie Etta Moore was born March 28, 1868. She attended the Southern Kansas Academy at Eureka, and afterwards assisted her father in his business. On Christmas Day, 1893, she was married to Melvin Gillison Rigg in the Methodist Church at Eureka, which was beautifully decorated and filled to overflowing with their well-wishing friends. On August 7, 1895, Melvin succumbed to typhoid fever, two months before his little son Melvin was born. Brother Stafford performed the wedding ceremony, conducted Melvin's funeral, and baptized little Melvin all at the same altar rail. On November 6, 1900, Effie married Mr. R. Z. Swegle. They are now living at Augusta, Kansas.

     My grandson, Melvin Gillison Rigg, 2nd, was born October 20, 1895, at Eureka. He was graduated from Baker University in 1916, and from the University of Pennsylvania in 1920, receiving the doctor's degree in Philosophy.

     Ada Alida Moore was born November 20, 1869. She was graduated from the Southern Kansas Academy, and later attended the Kansas State Normal and Baker University. After, teaching a few years, she went into business. On March 25, 1905, she was married to Oscar Cullison. They are living at present at Iola, Kansas.

     Roy Anderson Moore was born April 19, 1884, near Eureka. He attended the Southern Kansas Academy and Baker University. On June 11, 1911, he was married to Lucretia Mills, of Eureka. They have three daughters, Ruth, born October 13, 1914; Virginia, October 28, 1916; and Eleanor, September 12, 1922. He is in the abstract business at Eureka.
