Levi K. Moore was a son of Elias N. & Mary B. (Kerst) Mohr/Moore of Union Township (my gr3grandparents), and brother of
my gr2grandmother Charlotte K Moore/Mohr. He married Ellen R. Auchenbach at First Reformed Church. According to
History of Berks County by Morton Montgomery, p 191, "In 1845, Levi K. Mohr and Andrew Dehart began manufacturing
large scales, establishing a factory on the corner of Cherry and Carpenter streets." His daughter, Mary Ann Mohr/Moore,
married John Henry Cheetham, and the 2 sons on the cemetery stone are theirs. Elizabeth Cheetham Skudder seems to be
the mother of John Henry who remarried N. D. Skudder. Contributor: Diana Quinones
