Publisher's Synopsis
The book is about the history of my great grandfather Tom Moore, Sr. and how in 1905 he purchased 200 acres of land and established his own farm town the Moore Place. He also built a community school and named it Bethel Hill. Papa Tom as he was affectionately referred to by his family was born December 15, 1869 in Alabama and was the son of slave parents. The book also contains a collection of true life stories and incidents that happened in my family during my childhood in the Moore Place that exemplifies the importance of basic Christian and family values. These stories are filled with laughter, love, faith, childish mischief, life lessons, ghost stories and some sadness. The Moore Place, now recognized as Moore Town on the US map, is located on Alabama Highway 28 East in Coatopa, Alabama and is still a thriving community.
