He planted another tree on the Circle which died many years ago. Rev. Moore came to Morgantown as Principal of the Monongalia Academy in 1852 and died in 1864. The Falling Run Road which runs along the edge of picture is now University Avenue.' 'This is the E. Moore Hall sycqamore still growing as of February 22, 1983.
