Myron Eastman Moore, of Deering, Me., a successful contractor and builder, is a
son of Adams and Jane (Curry) Moore, of Lisbon, N.Y., where his birth occurred
on September 30, 1852.

Adams Moore was born in Lisbon, St. Lawrence County, N.Y., and received his
education in the public schools of that town. He has always followed the
vocation of a farmer, at which he has been fairly successful, dairying being his
specialty. His wife, Jane Curry, is a native of Toronto, Canada. Of the eleven
children born of their union nine are living, namely: Agnes, the widow of John
Mercer, of Warsaw, Wis.; Martha, who married Edward C. Coffin, of Syracuse,
N.Y.; Albert W., a banker in Washington, Kan.; Melissa, the wife of Charles
Howard, of Somerville, N.J.; Alzina, who married a Mr. Bird, of Syracuse, N.Y.;
Myron Eastman; Judson D.; John D.; and Franklin A., the last three of whom are
residents of Lisbon, N.Y. Both parents are still living at the age of eighty and
seventy-eight years respectively. They are members of the Congregational Church
of Lisbon, N.Y., of which he is Deacon.

Myron Eastman Moore acquired a good practical education in the common schools of
his native place. He then learned the trade of a carpenter, and for a number of
years he was employed as a journeyman. In 1873 he came to Deering, where,
shortly after, he established himself in business as a contractor and builder;
and during the past twenty-two years he has erected a large number of buildings
in Portland and vicinity. He was married on March 4, 1874, to Miss Sarah A.
Guptill, a daughter of Daniel Guptill, of Milton Mills, N.H. They have one
child, a daughter named Stella E.

Mr. Moore has served on the Town and City Committee for a number of years. In
1891 and 1892 he was elected Assessor of the city of Deering; and he represented
the city in the State legislature in 1894 and 1895, during which time he served
on the Committee on Interior Waters, and has held other offices of
responsibility and trust, discharging the duties of each in a faithful and
business-like manner. Fraternally, he is affiliated with Deering Lodge, A. F. &
A. M., and is now connected with the Maine Charitable Mechanic Association. He
is an attendant and supporter of the Methodist Episcopal church, of which his
wife is a member.
