Olive Moore was born on March 3, 1764 [or 1762 as determined from her gravestone. Hugh also determined this date from the stone but had another note that said she was really born on March 3, 1764 – not sure what is right], in Great Barrington, Massachusetts and died on May 13, 1824, at the age of 62.

The estate sale of Benjamin M. Rogers was listed in the April 23, June 11, and many other editions of the 1859 Plattsburgh Republican.

Louisa (
Louisa Rogers was probably born in 1801 and died on September 18, 1826, at the age of 25, probably due to a bowel disease. She married (Deacon) Cyrus Savage and had two children that both died as babies.
A letter was written by Dr. Moore to
his sister Eunice Hill on July 4, 1827, from Champlain.
The letter was addressed to her husband,
Caleb Hill, Esq., who lived in
…. Individually our numbers have diminished in this part of the world — Our Brother, Our Sister, Doct’r Rogers, and Louisa Rogers alias Savage, have been taken within a few years.
…. last Summer Louisa Savage — this Summer — her widowed or husband Cyrus Savage, M’r Boyington, Our Minister & Savages apprentis all in one family with the Inflamation of the Bowels — painful lingering with frequent relapses, and a dangerous Disease — which has been prevalent this latter part of winter Spring and Summer.
Andrew Savage (May 1825 - August 12, 1825) – died at age 3 months
Horace Savage (May 1826 - July 22, 1826) – died at age 2 months
After Louisa died, her husband married Sarah Bowron and had at least one child named Joel Savage. Cyrus died on April 12[?], 1866, at the age of 68 and Sarah died March 16, 1871, at the age of 71.

Olive Rogers was probably born in 1797 died on April 23, 1830, at the age of 33. She married Amos J. Fassett and had one child.
Ann Louisa Fassett ( - July 11, 1830) - died at age 11 months
Olive died in 1830 at the age of 33. Interestingly, she is the third female noted to date [10-18-99] to have died in her late 20s or early 30s. Her two other relatives, Emma Rogers and Eliza Moore, both died most likely from tuberculosis. Could Olive have died of this too? Was there a small epidemic of TB being passed around Champlain? It is also interesting to note that Olive’s child, Ann Fassett, died three months after she did.
Olive’s death announcement was found in the Plattsburgh Republican by chance. It was in the May 22, 1830 edition. [OR]

An article that described the life of Dr. Benjamin Moore
was in the Champlain Counselor on August 16, 1906:
VILLAGE’S PIONEER DAYS.
----------------
INTERESTING FACTS IN THE
HISTORY OF CHAMPLAIN.
----------------
Promiscuous Parts Played by
Dr. Benjamin Moore and His Son Edward Joseph,
Who Fell a Martyr to Duty.
----------------
The practice of medicine around the commencement of the
last century in the wilds of
The pioneer period of all communities is nearly
alike. Roads have to be built, bridges
thrown across streams, forests cut down and the soil broken up. A physician in such a community
encountered many hardships. He was
compelled to ride only on horseback,
to ford streams and at times sleep in the log huts of his patients. His pay was too often not cash, but produce,
furs, animal hides, that put him to trouble to turn into dollars. There was also the further difficulty of
getting his medical supplies.
The physician in those days was his own apothecary.
He pounded and crushed his roots and barks,
boiled the syrups, made tinctures, and it made him a very busy man. He had no modern drug store to help him out
with tablets.
There was nothing unusual about the life of Dr. Moore to
make it different from the ordinary practitioner. As
was
the
custom
of
the time he studied
medicine with a physician, was examined by a board of physicians and
given
license to practice. This was before the
day of medical colleges. One of his
operations in surgery was trepanning the skull of a man who had been
clubbed by
a musket and the cock sunk a hole in the cranium. Dr.
Moore
laid
it
bare,
placed a silver plate
firmly attached to the skull, and the man recovered.
On a visit once on horseback in the Rider district where
he owned land, there came up a terrible storm.
It continued to nightfall when it turned to pitchy darkness. He was importuned to stay over night, but
refused saying his faithful horse would carry him in safety. He arrived home and the next day it was
discovered that a bridge he was to pass over had been swept away, a
tree blown
down across the stream and the mark of horse’s hoofs on the bark.
The Doctor had a dog named Boze and one day it strayed
into the blacksmith shop and its tail hung over a bob sled. A man in the shop seized the broad axe and
cut off the tail. The dog uttered a
wailing cry, seized the tail in his mouth and brought it home to its
master. Jokingly people said that not
only men but dogs came to Dr. Moore to be cured of their ills.
When Champlain was invaded by the British, the Indians
wanted to massacre the inhabitants. Dr.
Moore served on the Committee of Safety and they got the promise of Sir
Chas.
Provost that the peaceful inhabitants would be protected.
Dr. Moore taught several students medicine, among them
his son Edward, Dr. Julius Churchill, and we think Dr. Loomis of
Perry’s
Mills. He was called a good physician,
respected by the community and was possessed of a comfortable estate. He died September 19, 1831, suddenly of heart
disease as he was undressing for bed. He
was of medium height, portly form and wore a wine drab swallow tail
coat, brass
buttons and ruffled shirt, as was the custom of American gentlemen of
that
period.
Doctor Edward Joseph Moore succeeded to the practice of
his father very soon after his decease.
He was very nearly ready to graduate from the
It was a custom in those days for students to procure
subjects for dissection without any expenditure of money.
A grave of a farmer’s daughter had been
robbed and they charged the students with the theft.
Excited farmers came to the town armed with
scythes and pitchforks and surrounded the College building. The professors and students were seized with
consternation. One young student ran to
the dissecting room, quickly cut off the head and carried it under his
college
gown to a place of secretion. There were
other corpses in the room and when the farmers forced an entrance, they
failed
to identify the body.
When Dr. Moore commenced his practice, the village had
grown, the roads were good, and he found the heritage of his father’s
practice
an easier practice that if he had been compelled to strike out anew in
some new
country. He was obliged to keep several
horses to carry him on his drives and he had patients all over the
county and
in
As a physician he was accounted especially able in fevers
and women’s diseases. The writer
remembers once reading a treatise he wrote on fevers.
It was a custom at that time for devout physicians to
pray for their patients when very ill and many people believed that the
prayers
of Dr. Moore were equally as efficacious as his medicines.
Owing to his frail physique he believed that
only men of robust size and health should enter the profession. It was his wish that none of his sons should
practice medicine. When the cholera
raged in
He was once called to the case of a sick child, and
several other physicians were present.
They, all but Dr. Moore, agreed that it was a case of worms. Dr. Moore said it was water on the brain. The family, of course, took the advice of the
majority and it was treated for worms.
The child died and on post mortem it was found that Dr. Moore
was
correct in his diagnosis.
During the Canadian Rebellion, incendiaries put in their
work and burned many buildings in
Dr. Moore never served in any public capacity except that
of surgeon in the militia. In the fall
of 1851, there was quite a collection of Irish emigrants living in the
shanties
in the Dewey Cut. An epidemic of typhus
fever broke out and most of them were affected.
Some physician were called but refused to go.
Dr. Moore considered it his duty to serve
them and went, and for so doing lost his life.
He was very popular with all classes, and poor Canadians were
seen
weeping at his funeral, which it was said was the largest in the
history of the
village.
Benjamin
Moore was in Champlain on April 22, 1794, and worked at surveying for
William
Beaumont and also worked from March 16 of an unknown year to May 9,
1795, in

Benjamin Moore was the first doctor to settle Champlain. Benjamin’s ledgers indicate that it cost about $1.25 to be born and $2.50 to die.[2]
Dr. Benjamin Moore died on September 19, 1831, at the age of 58. Less than three months later on December 9, his wife Martha Corbin died. With both parents gone, their oldest son, Charles Sailly Moore, was made executor of the estate.

A Note about Consumption (Tuberculosis)
Consumption, more commonly referred to now as tuberculosis (TB), was a disease that killed many people in the 1800s. Eliza Moore died of it in 1827 at the age of 25 after a two year illness that was accompanied with a persistent cough. Her cousin Emma Rogers also had a disease that caused her lungs to bleed. This was most probably TB too, based on the symptoms listed in the article below. She died of it in 1833 at the age of 29.
An article was printed in a supplement of the Plattsburgh Republican on March 9, 1872, and described the symptoms of consumption. It is very informative. [OR]
Early Manifestations
of CONSUMPTION,
By Dr. S. W. Smyth
If a person has an obstinate cough, which commenced without any obvious cause, a cough which is at first dry and hacking and subsequently attended for a time with frothy or mucilaginous looking expectoration, accompanied by wandering pains about the chest and loss of flesh even to a slight extent, he is in all probability consumptive. If besides there be hemoptysis or spitting of blood, even to the amount of a drachm, the probability is increased to almost a certainty. If in harsh, hurried, and deep inspirations evoke a few clicks of a dry and crackling sound, or if the voice becomes permanently weak and hoarse, there can be little doubt that the person is suffering under consumption.
If a person from [has] the dysentery, and who has not resided in tropical climates, suffers from obstinate diarrhea, which goes on month after month with slight remission or intermission, even though there be no cough, he is most likely consumptive. Should this diarrhea be followed by chest symptoms of the slightest amount, the existence of consumption is an absolute certainty. If a young adult not addicted to enervating habits and not leading a dissolute life, without clear cause steadily loses weight, he is in all probability consumptive, though no chest symptoms should have appeared; when such, however, manifest themselves additionally, the establishment of consumption is almost a fixed fact. In all cases where any of the manifestations described make their appearance, we would advise an immediate examination of the chest and a prompt resort to appropriate treatment.
At an early stage of consumption a radical enre[?] can be frequently effected, and health placed upon a firm and permanent footing, while with every step in advance which the disease is allowed to take, the chances for a perfect recovery diminish correspondingly. Our readers must bear in mind that the most skillful and efficient treatment can do no more than to make sound and useful as much of the lungs as is present at the time when the progress of consumption becomes suspended. No means on earth can replace the lung tissue which as been destroyed by the ulcerating process. The earlier, therefore, consumption is attended to, the better are the chances for satisfactory results.

Benjamin Corbin Moore was born in Champlain on May 9, 1834. His gravestone states 1835 and it is unknown what date is correct. Benjamin married Alice Moore on September 9, 1875, and had no children. She was his second cousin since they had the same great-grandparents (Noadiah Moor and Anna Loomis). Their grandfathers were therefore brothers. Benjamin was mayor of Champlain from 1886 to 1887 and was very active in Champlain affairs. He also operated a successful drug store and soda fountain.[3]

This building was completed and occupied last fall, and being made expressly for a drug store, is a model establishment. It is built of brick, 34 by 50 feet on the ground, two stories high. It has a glass front, which in the evening, when illuminated, is decidedly attractive. The interior is richly finished in ash and black walnut. It has a convenient laboratory, a cozy little business office, &c., and all the modern appliances, conveniences, attractions, & c., of a first class drug store. It has also a very obliging clerk in the person of Mr. Hamilton.
The June 21, 1878, edition of the Champlain Herald had the following note about B. C. Moore’s store. [OR]
Mr. B. C. Moore’s Soda Water sign, is quite showry and attractive.
In 1879, Rev. Charles Van Norden, who married Anna Hubbell Mygatt (1841-1896), gave a lecture of the People’s Course on the subject “Self Culture” in Champlain. Tickets were on sale at B. C. Moore’s drug store as reported in The Clinton County Herald on January 17, 1879. A week later, two notes were in the same newspaper on January 24.
The lecture by Rev. Chas. Van Norden, Monday evening, was a very enjoyable and interesting one, but as we did not attend, cannot particularize. A large number were present and all seemed to enjoy the speaker’s manner very much indeed.
_________
The sermon delivered by Rev. Chas. Van Norden, in the Presbyterian church, last Sunday morning was a very eloquent and timely delivered one. The congregation was not large, but all who attended spoke in high terms of his earnest and impressive manner.
B. C. Moore was elected as a member of the Republican town committee along with Charles F. Nye, as noted in the Champlain Interview of October 7, 1881.
The Champlain Interview of August 4, 1882, had the following note. [OR]
This hot weather makes people think of the soda fountain at Mr. B. C. Moore’s. Soda-water is a health-giving drink.
Many different advertisements were found in the Champlain newspapers for Benjamin’s drug store. Advertisements were found that even appeared to look like short articles. Here is an example of one advertisement found in the June 18, 1886, edition of the Champlain Counselor. [OR]

Six months
after her brother Pliny died, Eunice wrote her sister-in-law, Martha
Moore, and
mentioned how Pliny had been such a good brother to her.
She remembered that when she was seven years
old in 1786, their father Noadiah had died and Pliny, who was 27, said
that he
would be a father to her. She also noted
that she had not seen Pliny in eight years.
Coincidentally, Pliny died on Eunice’s birthday.
