Biography
[ edit ]
Moore was born in London on 7 March 1849, the son of shoemaker John Moore and his wife Ann.[2] He left England with his family on the Steadfast in February 1851, which arrived in Lyttelton on 8 June of that year.[3] [4] The family settled in Kaiapoi.[5] At 21, he set himself up as a coachbuilder and wheelwright. Later on, he added saddlery to his business. When he sold the business he bought a shareholding in the Kaiapoi Produce Company and later became its sole owner. He was a large shareholder in the Kaiapoi Woollen Company .
Moore chaired the school committee for 14 years. He was a member of the Kaiapoi Borough Council for eight years and was Mayor of Kaiapoi from 1884 to 1887.[7] He was chairman of the Waimakariri Harbour Board.
In the 1887 election , he unsuccessfully contested the Kaiapoi electorate against Edward Richardson .[8] He represented Kaiapoi from 1890 [9] [10] to 1893 , when he was defeated,[11] and from 1896 to 1899 , when he was again defeated.
Moore was conjointly elected onto the Lyttelton Harbour Board by the boroughs of Kaiapoi and Rangiora in February 1905.[13] He was chairman of the harbour board from 7 May 1913[14] until 5 May 1915.[15]
He was appointed to the Legislative Council on 14 July 1914. He was twice re-appointed and served until 13 July 1935. In 1935, he was awarded the King George V Silver Jubilee Medal .[17]
Moore died in 1936 at his home in the Christchurch suburb of Cashmere ,[18] and was buried at Kaiapoi Cemetery.[7]
