Notes:

Richard E. Moore was an inventor and pioneering engineer in rotorcraft technology. Moore's aviation career spanned nearly 50 years with McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company and its predecessors; Hughes Helicopter, Inc. and the Aircraft Division of Hughes Tool Company; General Motors Corporation; Gates Lear jet Corporation, and as a rotorcraft consultant to the US Army.
Moore was a 1942 graduate of Virginia Polytechnic Institute, earning a bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering and finishing his studies in the top 10 percent of his class. He joined the Aircraft Division of Hughes Tool Company in 1952 but left the company in 1968 to work on the design of a new twin-engine helicopter being developed by Gates Learjet Corporation. When the project was cancelled, he worked for the US Army as a consultant. Moore rejoined the company in 1972.
He was instrumental late in his career in planning the transition of McDonnell Douglas Helicopter Company's research and development facilities into an industry leading position. His studies or research, engineering and test laboratories throughout the aerospace industry led to the development of the company's year old Advanced Development Center, a 300,000 square foot state-of-the-art facility dedicated to adavanced rotorcraft technology.
Moore received a patent in 1986 for his work on helicopter transmission systems that allow variations in main and tail rotor speeds. He was chairman of the company's patent committee.
"Thanks to Dick Moore, the center's capabilities are unmatched in the helicopter industry," said Norm Hirsh, executive vice president of MDHC and AHS Board Chairman.
"He was the principle designer of the drive system for the OH-6," said Hirsh. "His designs have stood the test of time and have been adapted to all succeeding MD 500 series helicopters."
"Dick Moore was a valuable asset to this company for more than 30 years," Hirs said. "He also contributed measurably to the industry through his contributions to the design of helicopters and through his constant search for safer rotorcraft flight."

Richard Moore died on September 12, 1987. He was 68.

Obituary from Western Union employee newsletter.
Minneapolis, Assembly No 88 - Reed D Smith
Born at Adrian, Mich, Jan. 31, 1851. Died at Minneapolis, Minn, Nov 3, 1922. This office was shocked by the sudden death of Reed D Smith, assistant early night testing and regulating chief, and one of the oldest employees in the service. Mr Smith worked up to Thursday, the day preceding his death, he complaining of not feeling well Thursday evening and went home early. On Friday morning he passed away suddenly due to heart failure. Mr Smith was 71 years old at the time of his death and held the positions of night chief operator and early night assistant testing and regulating chief for 34 years in the Minneapolis office, the latter position being held by him the past five years. He entered the service of the Western Union at the age of 21 years and worked in several small offices in the vicinity of Adrian, Mich, later being transferred to Elkhart, Ind, Chicago, Ill, Sparta, Wis, Sioux Falls, S Dak, and finally Minneapolis, where he rendered long and faithful service in the T and R department. Many of the oldtimers can recall many instances where he remained on duty indefinitely and came to the office at any hour of the night when severe storms ranging from blizzards to tornadoes wrought havoc to the wires. "SM," as he was popularly known, was known by the entire telegraph fraternity of the northwest, who will miss him and mourn his loss. Funeral services were held at 2pm, Monday, November 6, at Lakewood chapel, interment being at Lakewood cemetery. All members of the Association of Western Union employees and the telegraph fraternity as a whole extend their heartfelt sympathy to the family in their bereavement.

Notes:

The Germans captured Wachock 14 September 1939. The battles resulted in a fire that consumed many of the town's homes. Even in the first days of the occupation, Jews were seized for forced labor. Many were utilized in repairing the damage caused by the fires, clearing the rubble, cleaning the streets and other kinds of services. As far as is known there was no ghetto in Wachock, and the Jews continued to live in their houses until the community was liquidated. On 20 September 1942, the Germans gathered some 600 Jews in the square of the market and conducted a "selektzia" among them. Healthy young people were separated and sent to the Skarzysko Kamienna (cf.) forced labor camp. The rest - older people, women, and children were taken to the forest next to the city hall and executed.

Notes:

Brothers George and Calvin Moore appear to have run most of the family livery business during the Civil War. In the early part of the war George and Thornton stayed in Danville. Calvin came home from the war in June 1863. Both George and Calvin conducted extensive transactions related to the business. Calvin appears to have worked mainly as a stage driver, while George traded, boarded, and rented horses. He owned a number of wagons, carriages, and buggies as well. Since they were in Danville, a good amount of livery and stage business was conducted with the Confederate Army. Surviving Confederate invoices are either signed by or refer to Major William T Sutherlin, the Army's Quartermaster in Danville during the war. After the fall of Richmond the government relocated to Danville. Sutherlin opened his home to Davis and his cabinet during the week which led to Appomattox. Danville became known as the Last Capital of the Confederacy.

The entire family, including 7 brothers and their families, worked the livery as of the 1860 census. 5 of the 7 brothers enlisted in the 18th Virginia Infantry Regiment on April 23, 1861.

MADS ORNES
Sudden death during the night from Saturday to Sunday took the life of Mads Ornes, a well-known resident of our city. Ornes, who had suffered with rheumatism for a long time but did not let it lower his spirits, went to bed Saturday evening but was unable to sleep and was still awake at midnight. The death must have come shortly thereafter. No one in his family had any warning of his passing until they tried to wake him Sunday morning. Ornes, who was born in Norway, came to Manitowoc in 1870 and has resided here ever since. He was 70 years of age and is survived by his sorrowing widow and 4 children. The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon.

Manitowoc Daily Herald, Monday, August 19, 1907 P1
DEATH CAME WITH NO WARNING
Mads Ornes, Aged Resident of the City, Dies During Night's Sleep. Death's summons was unexpected and came suddenly and without warning to Mads Ornes, one of the city's best known residents, who was found dead in bed Sunday morning by members of the family. Mr. Ornes whose family home is on N. Tenth street, had retired early Saturday evening but had been unable to sleep and at midnight he was awake. Death must have occurred sometime after that hour, and was not discovered until the family called him for the morning. Mr Ornes had been a sufferer from rheumatism for some time and while his condition was not serious there has always been the danger that the heart might be affected, and this is what resulted and caused death. Mr Ornes was a native of Norway and was married there 50 years ago, the golden wedding celebration having been held Feb 19, this year.
Coming here in 1870, Mr Ornes was for years engaged as a ship carpenter and was well known. Mrs Ornes and four children survive, being Mrs C Pugh, Catherine and John, of Minneapolis and Fred of Mt Vernon, Wash. The funeral will be held Tuesday afternoon at two o'clock from the late home to the First Norwegian Lutheran church, 8th and State street and interrment (sic) will be at Evergreen.

DIED
In this village on the 26 of Oct., 1864(sic), Mr. George Beers(sic), aged 42 years.

An eloquent tribute was paid him at the grave by Adolph Wittmann, Esq., in a feeling address, which touched the hearts of all his hearers.
