Remembering James Moore

Although James Moore barely gets a mention in the Erving town history, he was instrumental in the development of the village we call Ervingside.  Shari Strahan and Sara Campbell will present the results of their genealogical research into the Moore family on Thursday, March 27 at 6:30 pm at the Erving Library.  Where? On Moore Street.  Using old maps, vital records, newspaper articles and census records from four New England states they will illustrate the history of this interesting family.
