Dr. John Thomas Moore Sr.
Dr. John Thomas Moore Sr. was the son of Thomas Franklin Moore and Bettie Fraser who was the daughter of Thomas Fraser of Scotland, and Nancy Tucker of White Co., TN. They moved to the Calfkiller area of Putnam County where they raised their family. There was no Methodist Church in the area so Bettie got busy and organized one. They were the parents of nine children. John Thomas Moore saw smallpox and influenza epidemics sweep the country killing so many people before he completed his medical training in 1899. He rode horseback and horse and buggy to treat people all over this area. His wife was Anncie Crews Moore. Courtesy of Dr. John Thomas Moore Jr., his son.
