STEPHEN MOORE, of section 10, Warner Township, Clark County, Wisconsin, was born in Wellington County, Ontario, April 30, 1845, the son of Cornelius (deceased) and Lavina (Peck) Moore, the former a native of New Jersey, and the latter of New Hampshire. The father removed to Ontario when a young man. The parents had fourteen children, only four of whom still survive: Jane, now Mrs. Earhart Lynus, Stephen, our subject, and Sarah, no Mrs. Kelly.

The subject of this sketch was reared to farm life, and educated in the common schools. He worked in the saw-mills of his native county several years, and in 1865 came to Clinton, Michigan, and the same year removed to Michigan City, Indiana. In the spring of 1868 he went to Preston Township, Fillmore County, Minnesota, where he farmed two years, and in 1870 came to this county, settling in what is now Warner Township. He owns 170 acres of land, sixty of which is cleared, where he is engaged in general farming, logging, and also ran a thresher nine years. For the past four years he has owned and ran a steam thresher, the "Minnesota Chief," which is run by an Ames Engine.

Mr. Moore was married June 25, 1867, to Ellen Hogan, the only daughter of Patrick Hogan, deceased. Her mother, nee Catharine Sullivan, was afterward married to James Miller, and they had seven children, six of whom are now living: Frances, Emma, Adda, Dudley, Mira and Mina Charles is dead. Mrs. Moore was always known by the name of Miller in her girlhood. Mr. and Mrs. Moore have had seven children, six of whom still survive: Aminta, Catharine, Joseph, Charles, Mabel and Ivy. One son, Francis, died in infancy.
