Thomas S. Moore

Thomas S. Moore was a lawyer of high position in his profession, prominent in business and social life, and was held in high regard by the community for his shining qualities of mind and character, and his genial and attractive personality. He was a graduate of Harvard, and after admission to the New York Bar practised his profession in this city continuously during his life.

He represented as a lawyer important interests with faithfulness and ability, and occupied high positions of trust and responsibility in public enterprises and corporations. He was one of the commissioners of the East River Bridge, president of the Board of Regents of the Long Island College Hospital, a director of the New York Times, and the Fidelity and Casualty Company, a trustee of the Polytechnic Institute and the Brooklyn Young Men’s Christian Association, and a trustee and counsel of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Children. He had occupied the office of Assistant District Attorney, and was nominated by his party as a Justice of the Supreme Court.

He died in the prime of life, when there appeared to be many years of happiness and usefulness before him, having won the affection and esteem of all who came in contact with him.
