BiographyShe was born in Westfield, Massachusetts. She married businessman Bloomfield Haines Moore (1819-1878) and resided in Philadelphia from the date of her marriage onward.[2] Following the death of her husband she moved to London, where she eventually died in 1899.[3] She organized in Philadelphia a hospital relief committee during the American Civil War and assisted in the foundation of the Temperance Home for Children. Her book on ether was written because she believed that ether could account for the operation of the motor invented by John Ernst Worrell Keely, to whose Keely Motor Company she gave liberally in order that he might develop his idea. She and her husband had three children: Ella Carlton Moore (1843–1892), Clarence Bloomfield Moore (1852–1936), Lilian Stuart Moore (1853–1911). Selected works
