Ex-Bank Official Dies at Home Here
Joseph Gales Moore, 83, Was Former National Metropolitan Cashier
Joseph Gales Moore, 83, former cashier of the National Metropolitan Bank and actively connected with that institution for 61 years, died today at his home, 2940 Upton street. He had been in poor health for some time, but had been seriously ill only about a month.
Mr. Moore retired about five years ago from active connection with the bank. He started his work in finance as a messenger boy back in the days before the organization of the Washington Clearing House Association, where runners had to go from one bank to another, making check collections. During his 61 years in banking he witnessed many changes in banking methods. During the last years of his career he served the Metropolitan as auditor.
Began Work in 1867
Mr. Moore began his work with the Metropolitan on July 22, 1867, shortly after his graduation from Rittenhouse Academy. When not doing messenger work he was asked to give assistance to the paying teller, and this gave him his real start. The young messenger showed such ability and interest in his work that he was soon made an assistant bookkeeper. For 20 years he worked in all departments of the bank and became an expert in every phase of banking.
In May 1895 he was appointed assistant cashier and became cashier in December, 1900, succeeding George W. White, now president of the bank. He was made auditor in 1909, and, although not a director, he had the distinction of serving the board as secretary for 18 years.
Native of the District
A native of Washington, Mr. Moore was born here on July 29, 1850. His active banking career came to an end August 1, 1928. During part of the time that he was connected with the Metropolitan, he also was manager of the Washington Clearing House Association.
Before he reached such an advanced age, M. Moore was active in the Presbyterian Church. He was a member of the Masonic Fraternity, and of the Association of Oldest Inhabitants.
He is survived by one son, Gales P. Moore of Bristol, Conn., and three daughters, Miss Anne B. Moore of Washington, Mrs. Lathrop E. Baldwin, South Orange, N.J. and Miss Kate C. Moore of Washington. His wife, Kate Carroll (Pritchard) Moore, died several months ago.
Funeral arrangements have not been completed.
