From "Rochester History" by Dexter Perkins and Blake McKelvey, "On November
11, 1897, when starting off for a swing around the West, Susan B. Anthony
stopped on her way to the station to attend the golden wedding reception of Dr.
and Mrs. Edward Mott Moore. The good doctor's conclusion, some forty years
before, that Miss Anthony's life 'is a very good one,' had been borne out."
"A friend." Edward attended his father's school at Flushing
and also the Renselaer Polytechnic Institute of Troy. He commenced the study
of his profession in Rochester in 1833 with Dr. Anson Coleman, and was
graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1836. He returned to
Rochester (in 1840) and practiced until his death.
He was not only the leading physician and surgeon of Rochester but of
Western NY. "To him more than to any man is due the inauguration and
establishment of Rochester's excellent park system, which was systematically
started in 1888, and which today places the city in that respect, beside the
finest and best in the country. Dr. Moore has been president of the Park
Commission since its inception. And in the face of strong opposition has
successfully guided the enterprise to its present condition." William F.
