Notes for Henry John MOORE

A petition for legal adoption by Stepfather Charles P. Moore was filed on 20 June 1893 in Carroll County, NH and granted by the Probate Court in Ossipee. At that time his name was legally changed to Henry John Moore from John Henry Drake. This event was recorded in the CourtÕs July Term 1893.

George F. Drake's will reads Ò...now adopted and called Moore...Ó 12Since the adoption took place when Henry was nearly of legal age, it could be concluded that it was undertaken for emotional reasons, perhaps to legalize a loving relationship between Henry and his stepfather, Charles P. Moore. This adoption is the reason that the subsequent generations have the surname Moore, instead of HenryÕs birth name, Drake. Charles P. Moore was Harrison Willard Moore's brother, thus Evangeline married her UncleÕs grandson by adoption, making she and Noyes cousins legally, but not by blood.

Medical

An issue of the Granite State dated 13 Apr 1915 reads as follows: ÒHenry Moore of Pleasant Valley, who has been sick with pneumonia, is now attending to his duties at the shoe shop. Glad to see you, ÔMajorÕ.Ó Henry died, at the young age 56, of the same condition .

Notes for Elbina Revena SHATTUCK

Elbina and Henry met when they were born employed at a shoe factory in Keene, NH, where her parents lived. They moved to Pleasant Valley after his parents purchased a farm there, working in the shoe factory during the winter months and farming in the spring and summer. She was the first Vice President of the American Legion Auxillary, of which she was an active member until her death. She was a member of the Rebekahs for years.

Burial: Pine Hill Cemtery

Medical

About 6 months before her death she entered the hospital in Wolfeboro to have abdominal adhesions removed. An abcess burst and was drained. She entered the hospital again in June 1940 and had other adhesions and her appendix removed. Her progress was fine until about 4 days after the operation when clots developed and logged in her left leg and in her lungs. At this same time she suffered from a postoperative perforation of the ileum, resulting in peritonitus. Her death certificate lists general peritonitus, as a result of the perforated ileum. It also lists essential hypertension.

Medical Notes for Noyes Venett (Child 2)

Noyes was hospitalized many times for headaches, fainting and other neurological symptoms resulting from his military service in France during WW1. At the time of diagnosis, it was called Shell Shock, but he was gassed with mustard gas as part of his military duty in Europe, which could have been partly or wholy responsible for the protracted illnesses he suffered after that experience. He was being seen for the condition as late as the 40Õs, when the government finally gave him 75% partial disability for his condition. He died as a result of massive myocardial infaction sustained during annual family climb up Mt Chocorua, NH 1970.

Misc. Notes

He was born with the name Noyes Shattuck Moore, but believed his name to be Noyes Venett. His military records list him as Noyes Venett. His name change to Venett is on file with the Carroll County Court in Ossippee, NH and came about when he wanted to become a Notary Public and needed a copy of his birth certificate. Noyes was a selectman of Wolfeboro is his later years and a well respected member of the community. He ran Pleasant Valley Stock Farm and Moore Brothers Dairy with his brothers and pursued agriculture his entire life. His wife once remarked that some people were up early and in the fields because they had to be, but that Noyes was up early and in the fields because he truly loved farming.

Noyes enlisted in the USMC 20 June 1917 and served until 13 August 1919. He received the Silver Star for gallantry on 6 June 1918, the Purple Heart for being gassed in action against the enemy on 14 June 1918 in Belleux Woods, France, the Good Conduct Medal for service from 20 June 1917 to 13 August 1919, the Victory Medal, World War I with Aisne, St. Mihiel, Meuse-Argonne, and Defensive-sector clasps, the Army of Occupation of Germany Medal, the French Croix de Guerre and the Rifle Sharpshooter Badge.
