Moore, Homer H.
Scope and Contents
This collection consists of two items: a letter written by Moore to Osmon Grant Markham in 1892, probably as a response to a request for information about the early days of Baker University, and a copy of Moore's Erie Conference memoir. In the letter, he recalls purchasing and selling land during the Territorial Kansas days, as well as Baker's 1860 commencement exercises.
