Young Miles Moore

So, what can we find out about the young Miles Moore. We have his Late Registration of Birth, filed with the Province of New Brunswick Archives, in which his mother testifies that she is indeed his mother, and that he was born to Moses Moore and Bertha Jordan on 18 August 1898 in Woodstock, New Brunswick.

Miles kept a scrapbook. Most of it was newspaper clippings about things that interested in, but I did find two clippings about himself that he wrote on.

This clipping is not dated, but he wrote on it, Woodstock, NB, the street I was born on 1898 - Miles Moore.

Not that you can see him, But Miles is there in this photo in front of the College School in Woodstock. He is in grade 6, and is standing in front of the X. Photo c 1910.
