Book Excerpt
History of Coshocton County pg. 160-161
G.W. Amore, a successful merchant of Plainfield, was born in West Lafayette, Coshocton County, Ohio, January 6, 1854, his parents being William and Charlotte (Reed) Amore, the former a native of Troy, New York, and the latter of Ohio. The father passed away in 1898, having for a number of years survived his wife, whose demise occurred in 1862. Unto this worthy couple were born six children, namely: William H., of Roscoe, Ohio; G.W. of this review; Charles, Lewis C, and Oliver, all of whom are deceased; and one who died in infancy. G.W. Amore acquired a common school education and when sixteen years of age started out in life for himself as a farm hand, being thus engaged for twenty years. Subsequenty, he was connected with the butchering business at Plainfield for a time, and afterward established a boot, shoe and harness store at the same place, having thus been successfully identified with mercantile interests to the present time. His well selected stock of goods, as well as his reliable and straighforward business methods, have brought to him a liberal patronage and he is now numbered among the prosperous and enterprising merchants of his native County. In 1878 Mr. Amore was united in marriage to Miss Catherine C. Burden, a native of Coshocton County, who was one of a family of eight children. This union has been blessed with six children, namely: Stanley, at home; Bertha, the wife of J.D. Woodward, of Plainfield, Ohio; and Charles C, Grover, Georgiana and Jessie, all of whom are still under the parental roof. In his political views Mr. Amore is a stalwart democrat and has served as assessor of Linton township for three terms. Both he and his wife are members of the Methodist Episcopal church at Plainfield, in the work of which they take an active and helpful interest. Throughout his entire life or for more than a half century Mr. Amore has now resided in this County and owing to his upright and honorable career, the circle of his friends is almost coextensive with the circle of his acquaintances.

Personal Letter
532 S. Seventh St., Coshocton, O.
January 25, 1963
Dear Gertrude,
Indeed I was surprised to rec. a letter from you - happily surprised. I shall reply at once. Inasmuch as you are no doubt anxious to get this "Tree" growing. In the first place you wrote the wrong guy, I think. Clarence Amore, 8130 Broadview Rd., Broadview Heights, Cleveland 14, Ohio, started a family tree a few years ago and had it at the Amore reunion. It was in shape or form like a regular tree. Rollo just informed me over the phone that he doubts whether he got it completed for the simple reason that when he came to Roy's family he had so much trouble getting data, that he just quit. So you would do well to write him; and if he hasn't Roy's bunch finished, then you write to his daughter Mrs. Ann Moore (husband is Geo.). Roy lives with them. Ann is quite literate and Roy is living a clean, Christian life now. So between them they may get their relationship, which is the major portion of the tree, worked out correctly. I can give some of what you asked for, but not too much. I do know that mother was of German extraction (her grandfather had a difficult time with the English language). It was originally Wirtz, but they Americanized it to Werts. (This is only parathentically and for your own information: She lost her father when about three, and Isaiah (Zade) Powelson reared her. Her mother later married John Simon). I failed to state that grandfather's name was William and g.mother's was Louisa. My mother's name was Mary Angelina. I see also that I omitted the address of Geo. Moore. It is 335 N. 9th St., Coshocton. The Amores are of French decent. They came from the French section of Alsace-Lorraine. The woods is still full of Amores over there. Grandad, William Amore married Charlotte Reed who died when my dad was 9. He later married Elizabeth Spencer. Dad Wm. Henry and George were by the first union and Cephas, Laura, and Nellie by the second one. Mrs. Earl Rusk, Alexandria can give you the dope on the second marriage. Uncle George married Katie Burden and they had Stanley, Bertha, Grover, Jesse, and Georgia. The latter two are still living but Jesse's mind is bad and I don't know where Georgia is. I can't go any farther out on a limb there simply because I don't know. Jess had a stroke and is too hard to understand to be any incentive to trying to find out any more. I am sure that Clarence has all this. Was surprised when Norman told us that you were with Marie. Hope you do not get laid off from your sales job; that is unless you want to come back to Ohio. You must cater to the wealthy class, judging from the price of hats. Rose saw Norman's wife, Iva Mae, in the beauty shop yesterday. She couldn't get their car started and had to walk. They are well. Her son was married recently in bridgeport and they attended the wedding. I have a wedding coming up soon. The bride-to-be is in the hospital for surgery - not serious - and Rose and I are going to hospital to see her and several others who are patients whom we know. There is more than a foot of snow here and it was 16 below zero Wed. night and hovered close to zero the last 24 hrs. Not quite as cold last night, but away below zero. Bert and Fannie can be glad they are in Fla. Ruth Irwin, their daughter and her son Julian who is a high schooler, are keeping the home fires burning for them while they are away. They were staying with Berts any way. I am doing a lot of rambling but I just remembered to inform you, in case Clarence doesn't have it correct, that Fannie's maiden name was Moder. Huffs reared her. Her folks were killed by lightening when she was small. She was nearly killed. Roy's Mamie's name was Modest and Rivers reared her. Rollo and Bell are just about as usual. She has her bad times but is good, for her, right now. I saw her a couple of days ago. She was out of bed most of the day Wed. Has a phone by her bed and we can talk to her any time we wish. Rollo has been wanting to have surgery . . ., but he is confined right now to the home as chief nurse and housekeeper. Rose and I are able to eat three squares and are as busy as two misquitos in a nudist camp. I still do supply work for the various denominations. Have a pulpit to supply soon now. They had a birthday party and wedding anniversary on us at the EUB Church in the Fall - a two in one; cake, presents and everything. They also had a big surprise on me. A "This is your life," at the church. They had worked on it for many months and Rose knew it, but kept it a secret. I said "Don't tell me that a woman can't keep a secret." I am using the typewriter, contrary to propriety, simply because I thought you might have difficulty deciphering my script. I am getting pretty shaky. I may have made several errors because I am hurrying. Won't have time to read it over but hope you can unscramble it. We cleaned house this morning and Rose just called me for lunch so we can get dressed for our hospital call. So will have bring this rambling to a close. As they say in legal terms cease and desist. Ha ha. Oiled the old jalopy recently and that is what caused the paper-guide to streak the margin. Shall clean it off before trying to use it again. Just say that is my trade mark. Rose joins me in love and best wishes to you and . . . and . . .. Say hello to . . . and the rest when you write them again. Uncle 'Zade'

Former Coshocton Man Holds Special Services at Carey
The revival meetings conducted by Rev. I.H. Amore, formerly of Coshocton, pastor of the United Evangelical church, of Carey, Ohio, have been conducted with much interest and success recently. The Rev. Mr. Amore entered into the ministry several years ago at Carey. The Amore brothers' quartet including Lloyd and Bert Amore, of Coshocton, Rollo Amore, of Zanesville, and Clarence Amore of Columbus, furnished the music for several of the services.

Amore's Epistle Will Be Intered
Two notable letters in addition to the one sent by President Gerald R. Ford, are being added to Coshocton's Bicentennial time capsule. The Rev. Isaiah H. Amore who celebrated his 100th birthday on September 21, 1976, has a message for those in the future. Rev. Amore, a native of Coshocton County, served both city and county churches before his retirement just a few years ago.
In his letter he states that Coshocton has been good to him and has taught him how much people need one another. Rev. Amore strikes a humorous note in his letter, as he often did in the sermons that made his ministry so successful, when he concludes with "I have had my share of weddings and funerals."
Because of his health, Rev. Amore will not be present for the ceremony today at 3 p.m. but will have his letter placed in the capsule by a member of the Bicentennial Commission.
