Job: ?, Age:82y 6m 20d, Akron, Plymouth county, Iowa, Role:owner, In 1891 Newell and Milton moved to western Iowa and opened several lumber yards. Newell's Moore Lumber Company [later the Akron Lumber Co.] was in Akron. Newell had a hard time raising the credit to purchase his first trainload of lumber -- about five train-car loads. However, the train ran into a flood during delivery and was lost. There was no insurance in those days, so Newell was out the entire cost. Somehow, Newell was able to raise the money to purchase a second trainload of lumber. He worked all day and night unloading the lumber and coal as he was determined to get his business started. Often, he came home only for breakfast and supper as he could not afford to hire any help. His only means of curbing his hunger when he skipped all meals was a bottle of whiskey he kept in his back pocket. Needless to say, he was often half-drunk, but he kept on working. His hard work paid off. Twenty years later he was able to retire in 1911 and was financially comfortable. Mr. E. Zieglar took over as the manager and Newell's son, Orlan, became the assistant manager. Later, Orlan's daughter, Harriett, and her husband, Bob Tucker, took over the business. Moore Lumber Yards was incorporated on 08-01-1905 with stockholders of: Newell S. Moore, Milton A. Moore and Fred D. Moore. Newell's son Orlan C. started working there in 1906 while attending high school. In August 1912 Ed Ziegler became the manager and a stockholder. As of September 1925 the stockholders included: Ed Ziegler, Orlan Moore, F.A. [?Foster or Fred] Post, F.W. [?Foster] Post, Stan D. Post and E.W. Post. After Ed died, his stock was purchased by William H. Rademacher who sold it to Orlan and Stan in 1945. In 1946, Robert Tucker joined the company. He and his father-in-law, Orlan, ran the entire operation until they hired their employee, Lloyd Meyers, in 1951. The original buildings included the office and storage building on the corner of highway 12 and Dakota Street and the large north shed next to Rod's Ford dealership. As the business grew buildings were added including acquisition of the old railroad depot for storing roofing material and insulation. Before the lumber yard was build, the ground was a tobacco farm.
Fred Post was found in two censuses: 1920 census in Akron, Plymouth county, Iowa with the Family of Fred Post, Fred's name appeared in the 1925 obituary of ancestor Newell S. Moore.

General
· According to the LeMars Sentinel issue of 09-15-1900, a family reunion was held at the home of Mr. and Mrs. N.S. Moore of Akron. All seventeen members of their family attended. This included: Mrs. and Mrs. C.A. Christman of Joplin (Jasper) Missouri and their four year old daughter Mildred, H.L. Moore and wife of Elk Point (Union) South Dakota, J.C. Beck and wife of Akron and their eight month old daughter Maverette, Mr. and Mrs. B.O. Searls of Dell Rapids (Minnehaha) South · Dakota. · · Ancestry.com family of Newell Sidney Moore and Maveratte Ann Miller and their eleven children. The names of his parents are also given. · · Family record of Samuel and Zerish (Houghton) Moore. This was probably typed sometime around the 1920's or 1930's by one of Newell Sidney Moore's children (thus, the reference to 'Aunt Laura') from a record written earlier. · and their eighteen month old son Cluett, Fred D. Moore of Remsen (Plymouth) Iowa, and Floy, Orlan and Silas of Akron. Newell said it was one of the happiest days of his life as he was feeling that all might not be spared to meet together again [son Silas died ten years later]. The occasion was immortalized for posterity by a photograph on Sunday afternoon with Newell in the center wearing his old-time stove pipe hat. He said he had done this so he grandchildren would recognize their · grandfather in the years to come. Larry Wilson has a photograph taken sometime around 1900 that has nine adults and two children. It was taken at the home of Newell but Newell is not wearing a hat and is toward the right half of the photo. Surviving Newell were his widow, seven children, ten grandchildren and one great-grandchild. Reverend E.C. Davis of the Christian Church presided over the funeral services. Most of the local businesses closed during the services. From his · obituary, there are several surviving relatives listed including Miss Kate "Kitty" Moore of Marshalltown Iowa, she being the daughter of Newell's oldest brother Martin. It is unknown how the following people are related: Mr. and Mrs. F.A. [?Fred A.] Post of LeMars Iowa, Mr. L.A. Moore of Mason City Iowa.
Newell's grandson Cluett Searls remembers Newell as a little stooped man with a white beard that reached to his belt. Newell gave each of his grandchildren a gold coin every Christmas. Cluett did not get to talk to his grandfather very much over the years as they both worked almost all of the time at their own jobs. · · Article on pages 555-556 in the book 'Progresive Men of Iowa' about Milton A. Moore. He was the older brother of ancestor Newell Sidney Moore. Milton was considered as one of the early pioneers of Iowa and was a successful businessman in the state. The article mentions their parents and that Milton went into business with a brother but did not mention Newell's name.
