Excerpt from Adresses, Discussions, Minutes, Statements of Benevolent Societies, Constitution, Etc, 1904

The Rev. William Henry Moore was born Aug.24, 1820 in the town of East Lyme, Conn., on a farm that had been in the possession of his family 150 years, and was one of eleven children.

Dedicated by his parents to the Christian ministry, he received his education at Yale College and at the Yale Divinity School, graduating from the former in 1841, and from the latter in 1844. After two years of teaching he was for seven years pastor of the Congregational Church in Torringford, Conn.; was then for a year editor of The Examiner, a religious paper published in Norwich, Conn.; and for the six years succeeding was pastor of the Congregational Church in Newtown, Conn.

In 1862 he relinquished the pastoral ministry to become the State Missionary of the old Connecticut Home Missionary Society, in which service he continued the rest of his active life.

Already, since 1859, because of his recognized special qualification for such functions. Registrar and Treasurer of the Connecticut General Association, there were within the next few years devolved upon him by the churches and the ministry of Connecticut, in addition to his charge of State Missionary, a multiplicity of official duties, as Trustee, Secretary, Registrar, Treasurer, Statistician, etc., probably without precedent; the performance of which made him ever one of the most laborious of men.

For his long-proved, singular fitness and exceptional experience, he was the chosen Registrar of the Congregational National Council from its institution in 1871 till 1901.

In 1891 he was delegate to the International Congregational Council in London.

In 1898 worn out with toil and oppressed by the infirmities of age, he laid down his work and in the retirement of his home, whither he was followed by the universal reverence and affection of the Christian community, awaited in the peace and patience of the faith in the hour of his departure hence. He entered into rest Aug. 22, 1903 having almost completed his 83rd year.

From 1876 his residence was in Hartford.

Mr. Moore was three times married. His third wife died in 1893. Two sons and a daughter survive him.

Through the entire period of his so various service he was, to all who were observant of him, a marvel of industry.
