Samuel Herman Moore, a resident of Corvallis and vicinity for the past 52 years died in a hospital early this morning.
Funeral service to be announced later will be under the direction of the Warner-McHenry funeral home.
Moore was well known in Corvallis and from 1919 until 1942, when he retired, he had organized and operated with his son the Oregon-Corvallis Hatchery. For the past 15 years he had done much writing on early-day activities on the area and contributed a weekly column to the Benton County Herald.
He was born at Martins Ferry Ohio, November 3, 1864, the son of James H. and Elizabeth Lewis Moore.
As a young man he went to Illinois with his parents and was in the grain business in Brimfield for several years. He was married to Josephine H. Eaton in June 1891.
Came Here in 1899
The family came to this area in 1899, located on the Ira Hunter farm on Soap Creek in Benton county. Four years later he moved to a small acreage near Corvallis and operating a sawmill on Oak Creek.
Moore was the principal originator of the state lime board, which he served as chairman for several years prior to 1920. He was also credited as the first man to introduce vetch, now a greed seed crop in this area, into Willamette valley in 1901-02.
In addition to his widow, he is survived by two sons, Merle Moore of Corvallis and Dallas Moore on Newport; three daughters, Mrs. Myra Lauridsen of Portland, Mrs. Iva Magness of Tokoma Park, Maryland and Neva Moore of Corvallis; two brothers, Arthur Moore of Illinois and Jess Moore in Florida. There are three grandchildren and three great-grandchildren.
