The
Annual Moore Reunion was held at Cedar Grove Church on Saturday, June
23, 2007, with Alvin's family in charge. There were 75 in attendance
made up from the following: 3 from Frank's family, 5 from Harry's

Bryan gave information
on his trip to Scotland and the Isles of Lewis where he learned about the
Clan Morrison's. There will be a world reunion held there in 2009. Anyone
wanting to go can contact Bryan for information.
Bob Warren discussed
his committee's report on providing a memorial for deceased family, Uncles
Leslie and Lloyd, who died very young, and are buried in Warren, Indiana,
and Aunt Edith, who is buried in Tiffin, Ohio. This memorial would
be placed in Cedar Grove Cemetery near where other family members are buried. The
cost for the monument, tax, and a donation to the upkeep of the cemetery
would be $1,607. A motion by Bryan Moore and seconded by Steve Moore
to have the committee to proceed with the plans. Motion was approved. A
donation was taken up to start the funding and $350 was collected. Anyone
wanting to make a donation should send a check to:
Joyce Pipenger
429 New Garden
Road
New Paris,
Ohio 45347 ....... with a memo for the "Moore Monument Fund".
It was reported
that there had been a number of weddings, births, graduations, and other
important happenings during the past year. Jerry's son Jack was inducted
into the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame. Dave and his wife have 5
grandchildren with four more on the way.
The treasurer's
report was given showing a beginning balance of $1,578.17 and expenses of
$432.22, leaving an ending balance of $1,145.95. A basket was passed
and another $240 was collected.
A corresponding
date for next year's reunion would be June 21, 2008, with the Bob Moore family
in charge.

From: Bob Warren
Following is a summary of our visit to Cedar Grove Cemetery and Abbottsville
Monuments on Tuesday, May 8, 2007.
Uncle Don, Max Moore, John Tomb and I met with the three Harrison Township Trustees
relative to a location and specifications for a memorial headstone at
Cedar Grove Cemetery. We selected a location that is almost directly
across from Grandma and Grandpa Moore, but two rows away. It is a good
site and will be in the same row with other Moore relatives. It is two
rows closer to the road than Grandma and Grandpa.
The headstone footer is poured by the township
and will be 26” deep, 48” long,
and 12” wide. They will be pouring footers on September 15, 2007.
The cost of the footer is $300.00.
Our recommendation is that in addition to the footer, we make a contribution
to Harrison Township for their ongoing care of Cedar Grove Cemetery.
We can put this to a vote, or at least a discussion, at the reunion in
June.
John and I met with John Brown at Abbottsville
Monument Company and looked at headstones suitable for the footer size
and message we wanted to use. We selected a one piece monument made
of Barre Grey granite…the
very best granite that comes from Barre, VT. The headstone has a tapered
front. It is referred to as an “All Steeled” front. The dimensions
are: 42” long, 16” high, and 10” deep.
The price of the headstone, including engraving is $1040.00 plus tax.
The estimated cost for the entire project is:
| Monument |
$1,040.00 |
| Tax @ 6.5% |
67.60 |
| Footer |
300.00 |
| Donation (optional) |
200.00 |
| Total |
$1,607.60 |
There isn’t a rush; however, we should
attempt to finalize the wording to be used on the monument as soon
as we can. Following is a suggestion. Perhaps there will be other suggestions
forthcoming.
