ty police force. Sergt. Jones on Sunday

Sandy Spring Pioneer Invented
The Refrigerator.
Magazine of the Washington Star.

Magazine Of the Washington Star.
One of the most distinguished Of the
early settlers Of the Sandy Spring. Nd.
neiehborhood was Thomas Moore, inventor
Of the first refrigerator. This Quaker was
the son of Thomas Moore of Ireland. who
first settled in Pennsylvania early in the
last century and later moved to Waterford,
small town in Virginia. which he named
for his native town in Ireland. The village.
situated about six miles from, Leesbure.
IS often visited as one of the early settle
ments of the Old Dominion.
Moving to Sandy Spring about 1894
after his marriage to Mary Brooke. daugh-
ter of Roger Brooke of Brooke Grove, Moore
started farming on the estate of his wife.
He made valuable contributions to agri-
culture and many visitors travelled to his
model farm. 1t was at this time that
Thomas wrote a book called 1.-THE Great
Error of Agriculture Exposed, and Hints
for Improvements Suggested" published
in 1901. A copy is contained in the Library
of Congress. A chapter of the book advo-
Gated deep blowing. which made the au
thor pioneer in this manner of farming.
The patent on the refrigerator. which
Moore received in 1903. was signed by
Thomas Jefferson as President and James
Madison. Secretary of State. II is in the
possession of the Misses Miller of Alloway,
granddaushters. This first refrigerator is
described as small oval tub, IS or 20
inches deep, in which was placed a tin
square, holding about % pounds of butter.
Between the wood and tin box was left
space for ice, the whole being covered first
with rabbit skin and then coarse wooden
cloth. 1t being the habit to 60 to market on
horseback, Moore invented the first refrig-
orator so that butter might be carried the
20 miles to Washington. He could deliver
his butter in much better shape than other
market men. Later he made his refrig-
orator larger and in different style for
family and dairy purposes.
President Jefferson and some of the heads
of the Government departments in Wash
ington used Moore's patented refrigerator
if they were fortunate enough to possess
ice houses, which were luxuries in those
days. After ID years the patent expired.
when the inventor gave the public the
benefit of his work by not renewing it.
Moore wrote on many subjects and his
agricultural work made him widely known
Throughout Maryland. Also. as a civil
engineer. he was called upon by the
corporation of Georgetown to build the
causeway to connect Anacostan Island to
Virginia, for which he was paid the sum
of $4,000. Then the United States Gov
eminent employed him to lay out the great
National road to the West. President
Jefferson later appointed him chief en-
gineer of the James kiver Canal. and he
also served in the same capacity for the
Chesapeake and Ohio Canal. With his two
brothers-in-law. Caleb Bentley and Isaac
Briggs. he started cotton mill at Triadel-
phia, Nd, and at one time he managed the |
