George C. Moore, vice president of the Rowland Machine Company and possessing marked ability as a draftsman, was born in Derby, Connecticut, in 1849 and when quite young went to Bridgeport, where, as also in Milford and Wallingford, he remained awhile, later returning to Derby. He graduated from the Sheffield Scientific Academy of Yale in 1873 with the Ph. B. degree. He was employed in various places until 1880, when he came to New Haven and about the same time entered upon business relations with the Rowland Machine Company, with which he has since been identified. Ability won him promotion from time to time and in 1906 he was made vice president, which position he still fills, doing excellent work as an executive officer in formulating the plans of the company and carrying them forward to successful completion.
     Mr. Moore was married in Wallingford, Connecticut, in 1874, to Arabella Tuttle, and their only child, Nettie, is Mrs. James Bouck, of Brooklyn, and has three children, George, Virginia and Helen.
     In religious faith Mr. Moore is a Baptist, and he is also a loyal adherent of King Herod Lodge, No. 12, A. F. & A. M., and Housatonic Lodge, No. 6, I. O. O. F. He likewise holds membership in the Yale Alumni Association and is recognized in the city in which he has made his home for thirty-seven years as a representative and progressive business man whose life record has been an exemplification of many sterling qualities.
