COLONEL FRANK E. MOORES.COLONEL FRANK E. MOORES, the present mayor of the city of Omaha, the ideal citizen-soldier, patriot, and successful business man, fifty-nine years old, was born in Hamilton, Butler county, Ohio. At twenty years of age he was among the first to respond to the call of President Lincoln for 75,000 troops, and was enrolled in Co. G, 11th Ohio Inf; in July, 1861, he re-enlisted for three years in Co. D, 44th Ohio Inf., and in December, 1863, while in camp near Knoxville, Tenn., was one of the first of his command to be mustered as a veteran to serve for a still longer period; the tall, handsome, and vigorous young soldier being commissioned as Captain of Co. D, 8th Ohio Cav., in recognition of gallant and meritorious conduct on the field. He was several times badly wounded, and carries a leaden ball in his body as a reminder of the battle-field. During his military service he was taken prisoner, and sent to the famous Libby prison in Richmond, Va., when, after being confined with other Union officers, he was exchanged. He rejoined his command, and was mustered out in August, 1865. Colonel Moores is a colonel on Gov. Chas. H. Dietrich's staff, and an officer of fine, commanding appearance. For many years after the close of the war, Colonel Moores followed the railroad business, and on coming to Omaha in 1875 was appointed the city ticket agent for the K. C., St. Joe & C. B. Co. He was afterwards elected as clerk of the district court of Douglas county, which office he filled for eight years, with credit to his constituency, his business talent being widely recognized, and his integrity and personal popularity winning for him hosts of friends in official circles. In the spring of 1897, he was elected mayor of the city of Omaha, and in March, 1900, was re-elected for a second term. As the executive head of the municipal government, Mayor Moores is universally conceded to be the best fitted in every way, that Omaha has ever had, his broad, generous spirit being especially shown in administering the city's affairs during the Trans-Mississippi Exposition period, and in receiving President McKinley and his cabinet, and other distinguished visitors to Omaha. Colonel Moores is a lifelong Republican, and an ardent and loyal worker in the party councils in the state, as also at home. In June, 1900, Colonel Moores sustained a severe loss by the death of his wife, a son and two daughters who survive sharing with their noble and devoted parent the deep affliction that had so cruelly robbed their home of a loving and tender mother's care. |
