ALBERT N. MOORES

     Is one of Salem's native sons, and one of her most reliable and promising
young business men.  He was born in this city May 12, 1855, a son of the Hon.
John H. Moore, one of Oregon's worthy pioneers, now deceased. (See sketch of
Hon. John H. Moores.)  The paternal grandfather , colonel Isaac R. Moores, was a
native of Kentucky; he served in the Seminole war in Florida, in the Black Hawk
war of 1831, and in the war with Mexico, in 1846.  He emigrated to Oregon in
1852, and became prominently identified with the affairs of his town and county.
He represented Lane county in the Territorial Legislature, and was a member of
the Constitutional Convention; he was the choice of his party for State Senator,
in 1860, and was a candidate upon the Republican ticket.  He died in 1861.  John
H. Moores married Miss Virginia Lamon, a native of Virginia, and a member of an
old family of that State.  She was reared in Illinois, and became the mother of
seven children, one of whom died in infancy.  Albert N. is the youngest son.  He
received his education in the public schools of Salem and in the Willamette
University, graduating at the latter institution in 1876.
     After leaving school he succeeded his father in the lumber business, and is
now secretary and manager of the Captial Lumbering Company, of which he is also
a stockholder.  He is a man of energy and enterprise, is careful and painstaking
in the details of all transactions, and is highly regarded in commercial
circles.  Mr. Moores was married May 26, 1885, to Miss Cora L. Dickenson, a
native of Salem and the daughter of Rev. Obed Dickinson, whose history appear
elsewhere in this book.  Mr. and Mrs. Moores are the parents of two children,
Ralph D. and Althea E.  Mr. Moores is an exempt fireman and an esteemed member
of the I.O.O.F., being Past Grand of Chemeketa Lodge, No.1.
