MOORE-WISE FAMILY PAPERS
These papers are from the family of Israel Snead MOORE, a Lynchburg businessman,
and his wife Emily Cornelia Heywood (Nellie) WISE.
Israel MOORE was born in Lynchburg on April 16, 1847, the son of Maurice and Sara
(SNEAD) MOORE. Nellie WISE was born in Warm Springs, Virginia on May 13, 1845,
the daughter of David G. and Mary Jane (PITZER) WISE. The WISE family later lived
at Bel Pre, near Brandy Station, Culpeper County, Virginia.
Israel and Nellie married on December 29, 1869, in Culpeper County, and lived in
Lynchburg, where Israel died in 1927 and Nellie in 1938. They had eight Children:
Bernard Wise (b. April 12, 1871), Mary Louise (b. August 26, 1872), Maurice (Mot) (b.
September. 30, 1874), Nettie Terrill (born December 3, 1876), Shirley Cornelia (born
July 27, 1878), Israel Sherwood (born October 28, 1880), Donald Graeme (born October
13, 1883), and Evelyn Lee (Eva) (born December 19, 1885).
Bernard was a doctor, practicing in St. Louis, Missouri. He married Edith Wayne
WARFIELD in 1908, and died in January 1911, leaving no children.
Mary married Nathaniel C. MANSON of Lynchburg in 1897. Her only child died
shortly after birth.
Maurice was a Lynchburg businessman. He eloped with Mary deCamp BANKS of
Albany, New York, in 1901. Mary had attended school with Shirley MOORE in New
York City. Maurice's only child Mary deCamp (Polly) MOORE, died at the age of 18, in
1920.
Nettie Terrill taught at several different colleges until the 1920s. She never married
and died in Lynchburg in 1974.
Shirley married Thomas Dickson TORREY. They had a son Thomas Fuller
TORREY, born in 1905. T.D. TORREY died in 1912, and Shirley married Johannes
(Hans) SUHLING in 1913. SUHLING was a Lynchburg businessman who had been
born in Germany. The Suhlings had no children. Shirley died in 1945.

Sherwood was also a doctor, and also practiced in St. Louis, where he had a long,
distinguished career at Washington University. He married Veronica C. (Vera)
MOLLISON in 1917. They had two sons: Andrew Maurice (b.1918) and Peter Campbell
(b. 1924). Sherwood died in 1963.
Donald was a Lynchburg businessman. He married Fannie CASKIE. They had one
daughter, Betsy Kimbrough, born in 1915. Donald died in 1974.
Eva taught English at E.C. Glass High School in Lynchburg, retiring in 1951. She
never married.
Most of the letters are written to and from various family members. In the late 1880s
and throughout the 1890s, there are many letters from various children away at boarding
schools and colleges. Nettie and Eva spent several summers in Europe and sent back
letters and postcards from their trips. Mrs. Sherwood MOORE was a faithful
correspondent. There is little from Donald. There are also a number of letters about
genealogy, some filed in with the regular correspondence and some filed with the
appropriate families in the boxes of genealogical materials. For the sake of saving room,
most postcards have been put into a separate box.
The oldest letters in the collection are from members of the WISE family. These
include letters written during the Civil War. There are also diaries of Nellie's sister, Ann
Eliza, and her brother Louis, kept in the 1860s.
In addition to letters and postcards, there are also greeting cards, advertising cards
from Lynchburg stores, a small group of Sherwood MOORE's professional papers,
reminiscences by various MOOREs, and papers written by members of the MOORE
family on historical topics. There is a small collection of family photographs and other
assorted family memorabilia. Recipe books, autograph albums, school books, MOORE
family diaries, and other volumes are also part of this collection.
Evelyn MOORE co-authored a paper on Bernhard GUTMANN, an artist who lived in
Lynchburg. She also collected some photos, letters, and newspaper articles about him, all
of which are in the MOORE-WISE Papers.
The MOOREs were interested in genealogy and their notes about many related
families, especially KYLE, PITZER, and WISE, are included in this collection. Along
with the notes is some of their correspondence about their families.
