Prominent Simcoe photographer and one of the community's best known citizens, E. S. B. Moore, died in 
St. Joseph's Hospital, Hamilton, Saturday morning. Although he had not been in good health for some time, death came unexpectedly.

Everett Stanley Byrd Moore, who was in his 76th year, was born in London, Ont., a son of the late T. D. E. Moore, his father being one of Ontario's best known journalists. 
As a boy, Mr. Moore moved with his family to Toronto where he received his education.

Deceased possessed a latent talent for photography and in early years was associated with such well-known Toronto firms as Lyonde and Farmer Brothers. He spent six years with Swift Co. in Chicago and some time in Hamilton before coming to Simcoe 48 years ago to purchase the studio formerly owned by S. G. Asseltine.

Since coming to Simcoe, Mr. Moore has given a lifetime of service to the task of photographing citizens of Norfolk and doing commercial photography for business and industrial firms in the town and district. 

Practically every prominent Norfolk citizen of the last half century had been photographed by him and he became recognized as one of the most talented portrait photographers in Southern Ontario. 

His excellent photography won him numerous awards in province-wide competition under auspices of the Ontario Society of Photographers. His exhibits were outstanding features of the Norfolk County Fair and he never missed one in 48 years.

Mr. Moore took a prominent role in community affairs. He served as president of the Simcoe Rotary Club and the Simcoe Lions Club, and was an active member of Trinity Anglican Church. A fine golfer, he played on the men's team of the Norfolk Golf & Country Club for many years.

In Toronto in 1902 he married Lilly Maude Clark, who predeceased him 4 Dec 1949. Surviving are two sons, Stanley D. Moore of Woodstock and Francis Everett Moore of Belleville. Deceased was the last surviving member of his family.

Mr. Moore is resting at the Walsh Funeral Home. Service will be conducted in Trinity Anglican Church on Tuesday at two o'clock, by the rector, Rev. John L. Duncan. Interment will be in Oakwood Cemetery.
