Alfred S. Moore

Alfred Stibbs Moore (September 13, 1846 – January 18, 1920) was a justice of the Alaska Territorial Supreme Court from 1902 to 1910.

Early life, education, and career Born in Beaver, Pennsylvania, Moore was educated in local public schools and Beaver Academy. and formally began his duties on July 14, 1902, in Nome, Alaska. His tenure coincided with the rapid growth of the region due to gold mining, presenting unique legal challenges.

Moore adapted to the markedly different environment and legal landscape of Alaska, which contrasted sharply with the eastern United States' settled agricultural and industrial communities. He was reappointed to the position and further served an additional year beyond his second term until his successor was appointed in 1910. After leaving Alaska in 1910, Moore returned to Beaver, Pennsylvania, where he resumed his legal practice.

Personal life and death Moore was a nephew of Pennsylvania Chief Justice Daniel Agnew. Moore was married twice and was survived by his second wife, Florinda Knox Moore, as well as a son, a daughter, and several grandchildren. Due to declining health, later in life he moved to the southern United States, and died in Spartanburg, South Carolina, at the age of 73.
