Family/Spouse: Channing Hale. Channing was born about 1871; and died. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

In 1886, Arthur was six years old when his father, David F. Moore, was killed in an accident involving a horse-drawn vehicle. He grew up on the shore of Lake Michigan where his parents had built a beautiful, large Victorian house next door to his mother's brother, Lyman S. Monroe. Lyman's daughter, Louise, and his son, Jay Randolph, were close in age to Arthur, and the three cousins grew up almost like siblings and remained life-long friends.

Arthur attended public schools in South Haven and played football at South Haven High School. In the 1890's, football was far rougher than it became in later years. He studied law at the University of Michigan. His mother wanted him to run the hardware business founded by his father. His cousin, Jay, persuaded Arthur to try his hand at selling calculating machines for a short time, but he ultimately went into banking.

He became director of the First State Bank in 1918, and in 1922, he was made assistant cashier. He became executive vice-president in Jan 1933, and was elected president in 1937, serving until the First State Bank was merged with the Bank of South Haven in 1943. He served as vice president and director of the merged bank until his death in 1950.

During World War II, Arthur was chairman of the South Haven draft board. He was a very patriotic person but he had deep compassion for people. He took his job very seriously. When some of "his boys" became casualties, the effect on him was extremely severe, affecting his health.

When he died on 9 Jun 1950, the whole city of South Haven closed down in mourning for its most beloved son. More than thirty years after his death, Wayne Works, who had married Arthur's granddaughter, Jane Skeen, won an election to the South Haven City Council. Mr. Works reported that he won the senior citizen vote overwhelmingly because of his connection to Arthur Moore.
