Following her education as Mount Holyoke College, Lincoln traveled in 1846 to northern Virginia, where she met Nathan Loomis Look. Lincoln returned to Massachusetts the following year and taught school in Petersham.","Nathan Loomis Look (born March 19, 1819 near Utica, New York), was the son of Samuel and Mary \"Polly\" Loomis Look. Also descended from an early Massachusetts family, Look had moved to Prince William County, Virginia, in 1847. He married Sarah A. B. Lincoln in 1848. Following their marriage, the Looks lived in Virginia's Loudoun (1848-1850), Botetourt (1850-1853), and Montgomery (1854-1855) counties, before finally settling in Rich Valley, Smyth County in 1856.","In Smyth County, Nathan Look, together with his brother-in-law Charles F. Lincoln, initially engaged in agriculture; in 1859, they moved to Marion, where they established the firm of Look \u0026 Lincoln and engaged in the manufacture of plows. After the Civil War, the firm added a plow handle factory, and in 1880, Look \u0026 Lincoln expanded to the manufacture of wagons and buggies.","Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look died September 16, 1857. The Looks had only child, Sarah Isabel Look (who would marry Smelt Winston Dickinson), who had survived to adulthood. Following her mother's death, Sarah and her sister Laura lived in Wyoming, New York with their paternal grandparents. They remained their through the Civil War. During this time, their father married a second time, to Columbia Thomas.","Nathan Look died on May 2, 1907. After his death, the heirs of Charles F. Lincoln, who had died in 1891, acquired ownership of Look \u0026 Lincoln.

In the course of processing, a scrapbook holding envelopes which had once housed the family's letters was disassembled to protect the materials from the scrapbook's own acidity. The page numbers within the scrapbook on which the items were originally mounted is noted in penciled brackets in the top right-hand corner of each item.","This collection contains the papers of Nathan L. and Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look, natives of New York and Massachusetts, respectively, who settled in Marion County, Virginia in the 1850s. The collection consists largely of correspondence and includes summaries and transcripts of the 61 letters within the collection.","The majority of the correspondence is written by Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look to her family. Her early letters (1844-1847), written from various locales in Massachusetts, concern her attempts to secure a teaching position, classes at Mt. Holyoke, and routine family matters. Included too is a description of Sarah Lincoln's 1846 trip to northern Virginia, with lengthy (and often unflattering) descriptions of its people and environs. Following her marriage and move to Virginia, Sarah Lincoln Look's letters center on the family's frequent moves during the subsequent decade, the daily activities of the household (particularly farming and her hat-making enterprise), her views on slavery and Southern culture, the weather, society and church activities.","Within the correspondence also are several letters written by Sarah's brother, Charles F. Lincoln, and her husband, Nathan L. Look. These letters focus more on the family's farm and its broom- and cheese-making enterprises. The correspondence also contains Civil War-era letters from Polly Loomis Look, Laura L. Look, and Olivia Look Taylor. The letters contain only brief mentions of war news but include passages relating to travel behind the lines and descriptions of conditions in southwestern Virginia.","Accompanying the original letters are a set of typed transcripts and the contents of a scrapbook, largely consisting of envelopes in which the original letters had once been housed. Each envelope bears a brief summary of the letter it once contained. Also included here are a few genealogical notes.","The collection also contains a few pieces of miscellanea, including newspaper clippings about James Monroe's Oak Hill estate (at which Sarah Lincoln lived for a short time), a 1930 Baltimore Sun article about Mahlon Loomis, a color advertising circular for Look \u0026 Lincoln wagons, an 1848 acrostic for Sarah A.

Following their marriage, the Looks lived in Virginia's Loudoun (1848-1850), Botetourt (1850-1853), and Montgomery (1854-1855) counties, before finally settling in Rich Valley, Smyth County in 1856.","In Smyth County, Nathan Look, together with his brother-in-law Charles F. Lincoln, initially engaged in agriculture; in 1859, they moved to Marion, where they established the firm of Look \u0026 Lincoln and engaged in the manufacture of plows. After the Civil War, the firm added a plow handle factory, and in 1880, Look \u0026 Lincoln expanded to the manufacture of wagons and buggies.","Sarah A. B. Lincoln Look died September 16, 1857. The Looks had only child, Sarah Isabel Look (who would marry Smelt Winston Dickinson), who had survived to adulthood. Following her mother's death, Sarah and her sister Laura lived in Wyoming, New York with their paternal grandparents. They remained their through the Civil War. During this time, their father married a second time, to Columbia Thomas.","Nathan Look died on May 2, 1907. After his death, the heirs of Charles F. Lincoln, who had died in 1891, acquired ownership of Look \u0026 Lincoln. The company continued to operate successfully for several decades and eventually expanded into the lumber business and the manufacturing of furniture.","The guide to the Lincoln-Look Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing, arrangement and description of the Lincoln-Look Family Papers commenced and was completed in December 2007.

Lincoln Look to her family. Her early letters (1844-1847), written from various locales in Massachusetts, concern her attempts to secure a teaching position, classes at Mt. Holyoke, and routine family matters. Included too is a description of Sarah Lincoln's 1846 trip to northern Virginia, with lengthy (and often unflattering) descriptions of its people and environs. Following her marriage and move to Virginia, Sarah Lincoln Look's letters center on the family's frequent moves during the subsequent decade, the daily activities of the household (particularly farming and her hat-making enterprise), her views on slavery and Southern culture, the weather, society and church activities.","Within the correspondence also are several letters written by Sarah's brother, Charles F. Lincoln, and her husband, Nathan L. Look. These letters focus more on the family's farm and its broom- and cheese-making enterprises. The correspondence also contains Civil War-era letters from Polly Loomis Look, Laura L. Look, and Olivia Look Taylor. The letters contain only brief mentions of war news but include passages relating to travel behind the lines and descriptions of conditions in southwestern Virginia.","Accompanying the original letters are a set of typed transcripts and the contents of a scrapbook, largely consisting of envelopes in which the original letters had once been housed. Each envelope bears a brief summary of the letter it once contained. Also included here are a few genealogical notes.","The collection also contains a few pieces of miscellanea, including newspaper clippings about James Monroe's Oak Hill estate (at which Sarah Lincoln lived for a short time), a 1930 Baltimore Sun article about Mahlon Loomis, a color advertising circular for Look \u0026 Lincoln wagons, an 1848 acrostic for Sarah A.

On the eve of the American Civil War, John was living in Charleston, Virginia (now West Virginia), running a general store. Integrated with Southern society, he joined the local Kanawha Rifles militia and befriended Noyes Rand (1840-1911), the author of the description in the collection. The Kanawha Rifles merged into the 22nd Virginia Infantry, Confederate Army, and both men became officers of this unit. Francis joined the Union Army as an officer of the 71st Pennsylvania Volunteers (1st California).","Francis was captured at the Battle of Ball's Bluff on October 21st, 1861, and imprisoned in Libby Prison in Richmond. Thanks to personal connections with Governor John Letcher, the Confederate governor of Virginia, Rand and John Donaldson were allowed to secure the parole of Francis several weeks later. It was during the mission to secure Francis' release when the daguerrotype was taken. John Donaldson and Rand were later captured by Union forces themselves. Rand relocated to El Paso, Texas after the war, while the Donaldsons apparently returned to Philadelphia. Rand travelled to Philadelphia in 1904 and reconnected with Francis.","The photograph of a sergeant in a post-Civil War uniform is apparently of a John S. M.

On the eve of the American Civil War, John was living in Charleston, Virginia (now West Virginia), running a general store. Integrated with Southern society, he joined the local Kanawha Rifles militia and befriended Noyes Rand (1840-1911), the author of the description in the collection. The Kanawha Rifles merged into the 22nd Virginia Infantry, Confederate Army, and both men became officers of this unit. Francis joined the Union Army as an officer of the 71st Pennsylvania Volunteers (1st California).","Francis was captured at the Battle of Ball's Bluff on October 21st, 1861, and imprisoned in Libby Prison in Richmond. Thanks to personal connections with Governor John Letcher, the Confederate governor of Virginia, Rand and John Donaldson were allowed to secure the parole of Francis several weeks later. It was during the mission to secure Francis' release when the daguerrotype was taken. John Donaldson and Rand were later captured by Union forces themselves. Rand relocated to El Paso, Texas after the war, while the Donaldsons apparently returned to Philadelphia. Rand travelled to Philadelphia in 1904 and reconnected with Francis.","The photograph of a sergeant in a post-Civil War uniform is apparently of a John S. M. Parker, taken in the Pinero Studio, 2204 Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, PA. The relationship between this person and the Donaldsons or Rand is unclear.","External Sources:","\"John P.

He moved with his parents while still an infant to Ohio, then to Indiana. He married Mary Martha Webb (1839-1925) in Gilead, Michigan, on July 4, 1859; the couple would have five children (Francis Marion, Nellie, Andrew Jackson, Hattie, and Bertha May).

He mustered out with his regiment at Louisville, Kentucky, on June 18, 1865. According to the federal census, the Coes had moved by 1870 to Perry (Noble County), Indiana, where Miles Coe worked as a carpenter. By 1905, Coe was living in the Michigan Soldiers' Home in Kent County, Michigan. Miles Washington Coe died in Big Rapids (Mecosta County), Michigan, on June 2, 1907, and was buried in the city's Highland View Cemetery.","The guide to the Miles Washington Coe Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing and description of the Washington Coe Papers commenced and was completed in October, 2023.","This collection contains the papers (photocopies only) of Miles Washington Coe, a private in Company C, 42nd Indiana Infantry during the American Civil War.

Coe's war letters commence with a letter written at Indianapolis on November 4, 1864. In this and subsequent letters written from Chattanooga; Cleveland [Tennessee]; Alexandria, Virginia; Wilmington and Goldsboro, North Carolina (and from aboard the steamers Cuba and Dermont), Coe discusses his regiment's movements, prospects for furloughs, his health (including a bout of jaundice); shares his views of the war; describes his surroundings, quarters, and food; and conveys news of mutual acquaintainces. Coe's wartime correspondence ends with a letter written in a camp near Washington on June 3, 1865. Most of Coe's brief postwar letters are written from the Michigan Soldiers' Home and focus on his health and his desire to come home. A letter from the home's commandant, George H.

He moved with his parents while still an infant to Ohio, then to Indiana. He married Mary Martha Webb (1839-1925) in Gilead, Michigan, on July 4, 1859; the couple would have five children (Francis Marion, Nellie, Andrew Jackson, Hattie, and Bertha May). The 1860 federal census shows the Coes living and farming in Steuben County, Indiana. On September 28, 1864, Coe enlisted in Company C, 42nd Indiana Infantry. He mustered out with his regiment at Louisville, Kentucky, on June 18, 1865. According to the federal census, the Coes had moved by 1870 to Perry (Noble County), Indiana, where Miles Coe worked as a carpenter. By 1905, Coe was living in the Michigan Soldiers' Home in Kent County, Michigan. Miles Washington Coe died in Big Rapids (Mecosta County), Michigan, on June 2, 1907, and was buried in the city's Highland View Cemetery.","The guide to the Miles Washington Coe Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","The processing and description of the Washington Coe Papers commenced and was completed in October, 2023.","This collection contains the papers (photocopies only) of Miles Washington Coe, a private in Company C, 42nd Indiana Infantry during the American Civil War. The collection consists largely of 19 wartime letters from Coe to his family, as well as eight postwar letters, six written from the Michigan Soldier's Home. Coe's war letters commence with a letter written at Indianapolis on November 4, 1864. In this and subsequent letters written from Chattanooga; Cleveland [Tennessee]; Alexandria, Virginia; Wilmington and Goldsboro, North Carolina (and from aboard the steamers Cuba and Dermont), Coe discusses his regiment's movements, prospects for furloughs, his health (including a bout of jaundice); shares his views of the war; describes his surroundings, quarters, and food; and conveys news of mutual acquaintainces. Coe's wartime correspondence ends with a letter written in a camp near Washington on June 3, 1865. Most of Coe's brief postwar letters are written from the Michigan Soldiers' Home and focus on his health and his desire to come home. A letter from the home's commandant, George H. Turner, informs Mary Coe that he considers her husband \"not competent to travel alone and ... feeble in his mind.\" The correspondence also includes three wartime letters from relatives S. A. Covell and Chester Coe. Also included in the collection is a copy of Miles and Mary Webb Coe's marriage certificate, Coe's military discharge certificate, and papers relating to his Civil War pension.","The copyright status of this collection is unknown.

His parents were immigrants from Europe: his mother, Catherine, came from England and his father, Garret Moore, came from Ireland. Although much of John Moore's extended family lived in Ireland, he grew up in Louisiana on a plantation run by enslaved people. John's first job was teaching. He then became an army surgeon. In 1853, his first post was at Fort Myers, Florida, during the Third Seminole War. Later, John was employed in the United States Army expedition against the Mormons and in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He had three other siblings named Mary, Robert, and Richard (who died in 1908). His two children were named children John and Juliet.","John Moore (II) is the elder John Moore's son. He was born on April 12, 1866 in Eutaw, Alabama and was 5'11. From December 5, 1890 to October 3, 1902, he worked in the treasury department of the Internal Revenue Service. There, he started out as a substitute clerk, class D, but was promoted on May 7, 1895. In 1904, he worked for Central Union Telephone Co. In 1895, he married Elizabeth and they had two children: Robert and Mary. He separated from his wife and lived with Mary Kelly, his aunt, in Indiana because of his alcoholism.","Elizabeth \"Lizzie\" Moore was John Moore's (I) wife; her maiden name was Ford. Born in 1873, she was 5'7, 136 pounds, and had pale brown hair. Mary was twenty-two when first courted by her husband. She had many brothers, including one named Will.","Mary Mead Moore was John and Lizzie Moore's daughter. She was born on September 29, 1906,and graduated from Randolph Macon Women's College in 1929. She kept in contact with Betty, a college friend who lived in Charleston, for the rest of her life. Mary worked in Roanoke as a schoolteacher and was deeply religious and interested in radios.","Robert Garrett Moore was Mary's elder brother. He was born in 1897 and was a clumsy child. As a young man, he was estranged from his father and wanted to become an engineer. In June of 1925, he died at the age of 28: during a reserve officers training camp, he drowned from either cramps or a heart spasm. On the day of his death, he had complained about heart pain and vertigo to his drill sergeant. He is buried in Timber Ridge Church Yard, located outside of Lowery, Virginia.","Juliet Moore is the daughter of John Moore (I). She lived on a cattle farm in Iowa and her husband's name was Burt. They had two sons, John and Gaylord, who both studied medicine at Iowa State University.","Gaylord is the eldest son of Juliet Moore. In addition to attending Iowa State University, he also went to Rush College in Chicago. There, he played trombone in the college band and sang soprano in the choir. In 1938, he became a medical officer for the US Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Gaylord was close with his cousin, Robert Garrett Moore.","Mary Moore Kelly was John Moore's (I) sister. She died in late 1921. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, she was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and interested in family genealogy. In the early 1900s, she tried to construct a family tree with Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore, two distant cousins from Australia. She was married to Captain James R. Kelly, who worked in railroads before serving in the Indiana's fourteenth regiment during the Civil War; he was mortally wounded in battle and died in a Virginia hospital.","Henry Percival Moore \"HP\" was born on November 8, 1860 to Robert Walters Moore. He lived in Adelaide, Australia. In 1885, he married his wife Eleanor and they had three children. In 1912, his eldest Robert was stationed in India, his other son Brian was seventeen, and his daughter Mary was nine.","Arthur Walters Cameron Moore was Henry Percival Moore's brother and lived in St. Claire, Australia. He had several daughters and a wife named Sophy, all of which belonged to the Women's Liberal League. In addition to Henry, he had a widowed sister named Louise Gardner.","The guide to the Moore Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","This collection consists of fourteen folders of photographs, correspondence, and other documents relating to the Moore family between 1847 and 1948.","The first folder, Australia Moore family and genealogy papers, contains correspondence between Mary M. Kelly and her cousins, Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore during the early 1900s. In addition to relaying family news and bemoaning the onset of World War I, the letters discuss Moore family ancestry, tracing roots back to Ireland and an abandoned Catholic faith. A partial family tree is included in a letter written on January 17, 1911.","The second folder, Captain James R, Kelly and Mary Moore Kelly papers, contains photocopies and a transcript of letters and papers written by the couple during the American Civil War. It includes James R Kelly's notice of promotion to Captain of the Union Rifles on June 5, 1861 and a partial memoir of his Civil War service as written by his daughter. The correspondence ranges from July 20, 1861 to March 1, 1862 and gives a lot of insight into Civil War soldier conditions. In a notable letter dated July 23, 1861, James tells Mary, \"Our scouts surprised a secessionist camp consisting of forty-four men armed and a lot of women. All of the men were killed but ten. They have been brought into our camp; they are hard looking wretches. It is thought they will all be hung.\" In another dated January 28, 1862, he says, \"The Indiana regiments here are regarded as the most reliable on the Potomac while I feel proud of Indiana, and her brave soldiers, at the same time I can plainly see and feel that in order to maintain that proud position, we will most likely be exposed to the most dangerous positions in the army.\" On February 19, he laments: \"I have just been out among the men's tents, and in their quarters, the mud and water is full shoe-top deep. It is most painful to see the poor men cooking in the mud and rain but then it can't be helped, they must cook and eat while they live.\"","The third folder, Elizabeth Moore correspondence, contains family news as well as condolences about her son's death in 1925. Many of the letters are written to her from her husband; they lament about his estranged relationship with Robert, her cold behavior towards him, and his unhappiness with himself. In a letter date August 12, 1909, he tells her:","\"I feel that my life is wholly broken-maybe forever. I'm sorry for it all as it has been and has turned out. It has greatly saddened and soured me to see it thus-but maybe there is yet one more turn in life's ever changing kaleidoscope that will bring us together as one again. But fate is sometimes so cruel and unkind-but with me off life's checkerboard you'll be free and happy I hope, and will find someone who more nearly deserves your love and devotion than I do. I have richly earned your contempt and don't wonder you inwardly despise me when you recall the past and the horrors that lurk in its deepening shadows. The awful thoughts and the pangs of regret haunt me every hour of the course will be the burden of my torment in hell. Oh! That I never been born! I am afraid to be alone. Sometimes I wonder if I am going insane! I deserve it.\"","The fourth folder, Gaylord pictures, contains three pictures: one of him as a little boy and two of him dressed in Navy uniform.","The fifth folder, John Moore (I) correspondence, includes photocopies and a transcript of letters written between 1847 and 1862 that chronicle his career transition from a teacher in Louisiana to an army surgeon in the Third Seminole War, Army expedition against the Mormons, various Native American battles, and the Civil War. The letters hold strong opinions and their subjects include the famine in Ireland, slavery, and his Army experiences. On October 20, 1854, he wrote about meeting Billy Bowlegs: \"I was out in the woods some distance about a week ago, with the Indian agent, to see King Bowlegs and twenty or thirty of his warriors. He was very polite, spread skins for us on the ground and an awning overhead to keep off the sun. When Billy spoke all the others kept a respectful silence.\" On July 24, 1859, he wrote the following about the Mormons: \"The details of their domestic life are disgusting and revolting beyond anything you can imagine.

How long are such a people to be not only tolerated but furnished with the means of growing rich beyond that of any proportion of the people in the States?\" On Dec 13, 1862 he was in the midst of the Battle of Fredericksburg and penned, \"One of the most bloody battles of the war will probably come off here today. I don't know what will happen to me. If you fancy the approach of such a battle depressed the spirits of men or officers you are greatly mistaken. I have never seen more mirth and joking than among the hundreds of officers assembled about this building, which is used as the HD. Quarters of General Burnside, and within range of the revel guns.\"","The sixth folder, John R. Moore (II) correspondence, contains letters written to family. His main recipients were his sister, Juliet, and aunt, Mary Kelly. He wrote about family news, his disappointment in his son, his alcoholism, his separation from his wife, and his work. A notable letter is one penned on March 2, 1895 to his future in-laws asking them for Elizabeth's hand in marriage. In another, written in Nov 1898, he tells his aunt: \"I cannot suck happiness out of a bottle.\" On July 14, 1919, he laments about his son to his sister, \"He has a fat chance to become an engineer. He should be a preacher- they don't do any work.\" In a sobering letter written to his aunt on June 20, 1925, John reveals that he first learned about his son's death from a newspaper clipping, after the funeral had already occurred.","The seventh folder, John R. Moore (II) documents \u0026 pictures includes items such as account books, tintype portraits, Homestead papers, and Civil Service Commission papers.","The eighth folder, General Moore family photographs, contains sixteen photographs of various generations of Moore family members. It includes pictures of the family at the beach, posing in front of enslaved workers, and a portrait of Robert Moore taken on 25 December 1894.","The ninth folder, Mary M. Kelly papers, contains correspondence relating family news and other documents such as real-estate warranty deeds, tax receipts, and a list of ancestry for Daughters of the American Revolution membership requirements.","The tenth and eleventh folders, Mary Mead Moore correspondence, include letters she received between 1902 and 1948. They mainly relate news of family and friends, information on radios, and advice about finances. Many letters written during the summer of 1925 convey condolences for her brother's death. Mary's main correspondent was her college friend, Betty.","The twelfth folder, Mary Mead Moore pictures, holds twenty-six photographs, mainly portraits, of Mary taken throughout her life. Included is a portrait of her posing in a college graduation gown with her mother and a stark black and white picture of middle-aged Mary with a serious expression and the word \"soul\" penciled on the back.","The last two folders, other correspondence and additional papers and ephemera, include materials created between 1880 and 1921. The letters talk about family news. One interesting letter addressed to Robert Moore in Blacksburg from an unknown sender on February 1, 1922, contains two lines: \"If a body write a body, and meet with no reply; might a body write a body, and ask a body why? Bob Moore, you're such a mess!!!\" Documents include such items as calling cards, receipts, newspaper articles, and report cards."],"userestrict_html_tesm":["\u003cp\u003eThe copyright status of this collection is unknown.

His parents were immigrants from Europe: his mother, Catherine, came from England and his father, Garret Moore, came from Ireland. Although much of John Moore's extended family lived in Ireland, he grew up in Louisiana on a plantation run by enslaved people. John's first job was teaching. He then became an army surgeon. In 1853, his first post was at Fort Myers, Florida, during the Third Seminole War. Later, John was employed in the United States Army expedition against the Mormons and in the Union Army during the American Civil War. He had three other siblings named Mary, Robert, and Richard (who died in 1908). His two children were named children John and Juliet.","John Moore (II) is the elder John Moore's son. He was born on April 12, 1866 in Eutaw, Alabama and was 5'11. From December 5, 1890 to October 3, 1902, he worked in the treasury department of the Internal Revenue Service. There, he started out as a substitute clerk, class D, but was promoted on May 7, 1895. In 1904, he worked for Central Union Telephone Co. In 1895, he married Elizabeth and they had two children: Robert and Mary. He separated from his wife and lived with Mary Kelly, his aunt, in Indiana because of his alcoholism.","Elizabeth \"Lizzie\" Moore was John Moore's (I) wife; her maiden name was Ford. Born in 1873, she was 5'7, 136 pounds, and had pale brown hair. Mary was twenty-two when first courted by her husband. She had many brothers, including one named Will.","Mary Mead Moore was John and Lizzie Moore's daughter. She was born on September 29, 1906,and graduated from Randolph Macon Women's College in 1929. She kept in contact with Betty, a college friend who lived in Charleston, for the rest of her life. Mary worked in Roanoke as a schoolteacher and was deeply religious and interested in radios.","Robert Garrett Moore was Mary's elder brother. He was born in 1897 and was a clumsy child. As a young man, he was estranged from his father and wanted to become an engineer. In June of 1925, he died at the age of 28: during a reserve officers training camp, he drowned from either cramps or a heart spasm. On the day of his death, he had complained about heart pain and vertigo to his drill sergeant. He is buried in Timber Ridge Church Yard, located outside of Lowery, Virginia.","Juliet Moore is the daughter of John Moore (I). She lived on a cattle farm in Iowa and her husband's name was Burt. They had two sons, John and Gaylord, who both studied medicine at Iowa State University.","Gaylord is the eldest son of Juliet Moore. In addition to attending Iowa State University, he also went to Rush College in Chicago. There, he played trombone in the college band and sang soprano in the choir. In 1938, he became a medical officer for the US Naval Air Station in Pensacola, Florida. Gaylord was close with his cousin, Robert Garrett Moore.","Mary Moore Kelly was John Moore's (I) sister. She died in late 1921. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, she was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and interested in family genealogy. In the early 1900s, she tried to construct a family tree with Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore, two distant cousins from Australia. She was married to Captain James R. Kelly, who worked in railroads before serving in the Indiana's fourteenth regiment during the Civil War; he was mortally wounded in battle and died in a Virginia hospital.","Henry Percival Moore \"HP\" was born on November 8, 1860 to Robert Walters Moore. He lived in Adelaide, Australia. In 1885, he married his wife Eleanor and they had three children. In 1912, his eldest Robert was stationed in India, his other son Brian was seventeen, and his daughter Mary was nine.","Arthur Walters Cameron Moore was Henry Percival Moore's brother and lived in St. Claire, Australia. He had several daughters and a wife named Sophy, all of which belonged to the Women's Liberal League. In addition to Henry, he had a widowed sister named Louise Gardner.","The guide to the Moore Family Papers by Special Collections and University Archives, Virginia Tech, is licensed under a CC0 (https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/cc0/).","This collection consists of fourteen folders of photographs, correspondence, and other documents relating to the Moore family between 1847 and 1948.","The first folder, Australia Moore family and genealogy papers, contains correspondence between Mary M. Kelly and her cousins, Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore during the early 1900s. In addition to relaying family news and bemoaning the onset of World War I, the letters discuss Moore family ancestry, tracing roots back to Ireland and an abandoned Catholic faith. A partial family tree is included in a letter written on January 17, 1911.","The second folder, Captain James R, Kelly and Mary Moore Kelly papers, contains photocopies and a transcript of letters and papers written by the couple during the American Civil War. It includes James R Kelly's notice of promotion to Captain of the Union Rifles on June 5, 1861 and a partial memoir of his Civil War service as written by his daughter. The correspondence ranges from July 20, 1861 to March 1, 1862 and gives a lot of insight into Civil War soldier conditions. In a notable letter dated July 23, 1861, James tells Mary, \"Our scouts surprised a secessionist camp consisting of forty-four men armed and a lot of women. All of the men were killed but ten. They have been brought into our camp; they are hard looking wretches. It is thought they will all be hung.\" In another dated January 28, 1862, he says, \"The Indiana regiments here are regarded as the most reliable on the Potomac while I feel proud of Indiana, and her brave soldiers, at the same time I can plainly see and feel that in order to maintain that proud position, we will most likely be exposed to the most dangerous positions in the army.\" On February 19, he laments: \"I have just been out among the men's tents, and in their quarters, the mud and water is full shoe-top deep. It is most painful to see the poor men cooking in the mud and rain but then it can't be helped, they must cook and eat while they live.\"","The third folder, Elizabeth Moore correspondence, contains family news as well as condolences about her son's death in 1925. Many of the letters are written to her from her husband; they lament about his estranged relationship with Robert, her cold behavior towards him, and his unhappiness with himself. In a letter date August 12, 1909, he tells her:","\"I feel that my life is wholly broken-maybe forever. I'm sorry for it all as it has been and has turned out. It has greatly saddened and soured me to see it thus-but maybe there is yet one more turn in life's ever changing kaleidoscope that will bring us together as one again. But fate is sometimes so cruel and unkind-but with me off life's checkerboard you'll be free and happy I hope, and will find someone who more nearly deserves your love and devotion than I do. I have richly earned your contempt and don't wonder you inwardly despise me when you recall the past and the horrors that lurk in its deepening shadows. The awful thoughts and the pangs of regret haunt me every hour of the course will be the burden of my torment in hell. Oh! That I never been born! I am afraid to be alone. Sometimes I wonder if I am going insane! I deserve it.\"","The fourth folder, Gaylord pictures, contains three pictures: one of him as a little boy and two of him dressed in Navy uniform.","The fifth folder, John Moore (I) correspondence, includes photocopies and a transcript of letters written between 1847 and 1862 that chronicle his career transition from a teacher in Louisiana to an army surgeon in the Third Seminole War, Army expedition against the Mormons, various Native American battles, and the Civil War. The letters hold strong opinions and their subjects include the famine in Ireland, slavery, and his Army experiences. On October 20, 1854, he wrote about meeting Billy Bowlegs: \"I was out in the woods some distance about a week ago, with the Indian agent, to see King Bowlegs and twenty or thirty of his warriors. He was very polite, spread skins for us on the ground and an awning overhead to keep off the sun. When Billy spoke all the others kept a respectful silence.\" On July 24, 1859, he wrote the following about the Mormons: \"The details of their domestic life are disgusting and revolting beyond anything you can imagine. How long are such a people to be not only tolerated but furnished with the means of growing rich beyond that of any proportion of the people in the States?\" On Dec 13, 1862 he was in the midst of the Battle of Fredericksburg and penned, \"One of the most bloody battles of the war will probably come off here today.

She died in late 1921. Based in Bloomington, Indiana, she was a member of Daughters of the American Revolution and interested in family genealogy. In the early 1900s, she tried to construct a family tree with Arthur Walters Cameron Moore and Henry Percival Moore, two distant cousins from Australia. She was married to Captain James R. Kelly, who worked in railroads before serving in the Indiana's fourteenth regiment during the Civil War; he was mortally wounded in battle and died in a Virginia hospital.","Henry Percival Moore \"HP\" was born on November 8, 1860 to Robert Walters Moore.
