New Britain herald., 1916-01-25

the marriage of Mrs Adams son. Alfred Moore, of Hammond, Indiana, to Miss Elizabeth, daughter of Mrs. J. J. Clarke of Cory, Ind. The cere- mony was performed in Chicago, Sep- tember 1, 1915. MT. Moore has been i'll at the home of relatives in Niagara Falls, Ont, for the past two months but is now said to be on the road to recovery. MT. Moore resided in Ken s1ngton until about eighteen months ago and was employed at the Berlin Construction company. While living here he made many friends and was considered one of the most popular young men of the town.
 Last October his friends were more or less surprised to read in this col umn that Moore had been made the defendant in breach of promise suit. The plaintiff was Miss Florence Cor bait of Winsted, and she brought suit for $10,0O0, alleging he had failed to keep his promise to marry her. Towns people were much interested In the outcome of the case, which has not come to trial yet and as far as known has never been settled. It is said that Moore held an important position at the Construction company, and there was considerable surprise when 1t be- came noised about that he was to leave town and take position under 6 brother "stNrewhere in the West" His friends in town are very reticent about his affairs.
