Cousin Dorothy said that her mother didn't like the Moores, appeared to know why but refused to say why that was. She did mention something about fashionable clothes and Bessie Mae not being like that.
He married in Dauphin Co before June 1880, as per 1880 census record of the Dehart family that shows Carrie B Moore visiting her parents and Charles nowhere to be found unless not in the area or in Harrisburg. 1890, no census. 1900, found in Wilmington, where city directories show that the family lived from 1900 to 1904. Had sister Libby, my father thought. My father has an accurate memory. Cousin Dorothy said the Moores had relatives in Wilmington or Wilmington area and in Northern Delaware. Moved to Philadelphia area, maybe Drexil Hill or Upper Darby, show up there in the city directory in 1908 and possibly earlier. . 1910 census at 5222 Webster St where they lived in 1908, and in 1911 (Bessie Mae's marriage application) and in 1920. 1910 census says they owned the house and there was no mortgage on it. Buried on 1/26/1920 at Arlington Cemetery, Upper Darby 1910 census says they owned the house at 5222 Webster St whre they lvied by 1908 and where Carrie continued to live long enough after 1920 for my father to remember visiting her there.
Charles Moore is consistently described as a roller trimmer or iron roller - an iron or steelworker. Philadelphia had heavy industry that used steel workers. He must have worked in one of the large plants that reworked steel into parts for ships, trains, etc., in Philadelphia. Steelton had steel mills.
They owned their house at 5222 Webster whre they lived from atleast 1908 until after 1920, and it was paid for. No mortgage. According to the census.
Cousin Dorothy wrote that when she was living with her beloved "Gamma Greene" in Highspire, Aunt Irma several times visited her aunt Carrie in Wilmington. No clue if Irma had husband and children with her at Gamma Green's. But if Gamma Greene was 58 in 1880 census, she definitely did not live past 1922. Irma was born in 1885, appears to have travelled by herself to visit Aunt Carrie in Wilmington, and had her first child in 1910, by which time the Moore's appear to have been permanently settled in 5222 Webster Ave. Carrie did not leave that address until 1920 to anyone's knowledge and still lived there when my father, who was b May 1919, visited her as a child.
Note: His death certificate appears to state that he died of a bowel obstruct
