|
| Philip Moore (1871-1937) was born on June 30, 1871 at Gotts Island, Maine to Enoch Newman Moore and Laura A. (Gross) Moore. Philip married Lovina Ethel Joyce (1879-1956) on December 24, 1897 at Swans Island, Maine. Lovina Ethel Joyce was born on June 2, 1878 to Edwin Manson Joyce and Mary Ann (Hinckley) Joyce on Swans Island. Philip Moore died in 1937 and Lovina Ethel (Joyce) Moore died on January 29, 1956 in Ellsworth, Maine. "Philip Moore lobstered, fished a weir, and ran a small store in an ell of the Moore house. He was also the postmaster for Gott's Island and turned his hand to whatever other work came his way. Lovina Moore was a hard-working woman who took care of her children, ran the house, kept chickens and a cow, and planted a big garden. She also took in a few boarders and fed summer people who vacationed elsewhere on the island but came to the Moore house for their meals. "She was a strong woman," Esther Trask, one of Ruth's younger sisters, comments. Trask feels that Lovina Moore was the model for the strong, resourceful, and emotionally resilient women characters that abound in Ruth Moore's books." - “Homesick For That Place: Ruth Moore Writes About Maine” by Jennifer Craig Pixley, The University of Maine site, 1996, accessed online 03/27/08; http://dll.umaine.edu/welcome/wom/rmarticle.htm |
