Alexander Taylor Mooney, for 40 years connected with the Union Stock Yards and known to nearly every cattle dealer in the west who has traded with Baltimore in that time, died yesterday after an operation performed three weeks ago at the University Hospital. He had been ill at his home, 2666 Wilkens avenue, only for a week before with bladder trouble.
Born in Eldridge on August 9 1858, he came to Baltimore when a little boy and before he was 13 years old had "entered the stock business" by driving hogs and doing other odd jobs around the stock yards. Before he was 18 years old, he had worked up to a good position and soon, his shrewd judgment to buying and selling livestock earned him a place with a commission house. For many years he was with Eden and Co., and when a young man, took several trips to England in connection with the foreign trade. In point of service, he was one of the oldest men at the Union Yards.
Besides his widow, who was Miss Sarah Morgan, he is survived by four daughters: Mrs. Peter Michael, Mrs William Steffe, Mrs. George Worthington of Pawtucket, RI, and Miss Florence Mooney; four sons, Norman W, Raymond R, Elmer P, and Emory Howard Mooney, and 11 grandchildren.
