Charles J. Moore was born near Columbus, Ohio, February 2, 1858. He is a son of W. S. G. Moore, whose biographical sketch also appears in full in this volume, to which the attention of the reader is invited.
Charles J. Moore was educated in the public schools, which, by the time he attended them, had become superior in buildings, apparatus and teachers to those of a generation before. Early in life he began to work at various branches of trade and industry, remaining with his father until he arrived at his majority, at which time he began his own account, working at what was his principal trade, that of brick-molder, though he was unusually handy with tools of all kinds, an being of a very ingenious turn of mind, he could have succeeded and has succeeded in other lines.
On June 7, 1884, he was married to Miss Ida Bucher, of Van Wert, and of German descent. After his marriage he still continued to work at his trade for a considerable time, until he was appointed car inspector on the Cincinnati, Jackson & Mackinaw railroad, at which he was engaged two years. At the end of this time he began draying in the city of Van Wert, and he has continued at this line of work ever since. In politics Mr. Moore is a republican, and in religious faith he is a Lutheran. He is a member of five different fraternal lodges, viz: The I. O. R. M., K. of P., National Union, Rathbone and Pocahontas.
Ida Bucher, wife of Mr. Moore, was born July 25, 1865. Her father, Peter Bucher, was born in Dauphin county, Pa., July 3, 1801, and was of German ancestry. He was reared on a farm and followed agricultural pursuits until his death, which occurred July 24, 1880. He married Miss Lighter, of Richland county, Ohio, by whom he had eight children, viz: Amos, Eliza, John, Harriet, Henry, Joseph, Mary and one that died in infancy. Mary and Harriet married and have since died. All those who are living are also married. The mother of these children died in 1843, and in 1852 Mr. Bucher married Miss. Sophia Fiddler, of Adams county, Pa., by whom he had nine children, viz: Samuel L., Margaret, Albert F., Lydia C., Adeline A., Oliver J., Alice S., Ida C., and Angeline A. Only three of these children are living, viz: Albert F., Lydia C., and Ida C., and all are married. The mother of these children died in Van Wert, Oho, in 1886. She was of German descent and a member of the German Reform church. She was an excellent woman in every way and her loss was greatly felt by her family and a large circle of friends.
Miss Ida Bucher was born on a farm in Van Wert county and received her education in the country schools. When sixteen years of age she came to the city of Van Wert, and here met Mr. Moore, whom she married when she was eighteen years of age. She is a member of the Methodist Episcopal church, of the Rathbone Sisters, and also of Pocahontas lodge. She and her husband are the parents of one child, viz: Willie E., born in 1884. He is an unusually bright boy, is attending the Van Wert public schools, and is the pride and hope of his parents. Both Mr. and Mrs. Moore are excellent people, and are respected by all that know them.
