| Mrs. Rebecca T.
Moore, daughter of L.B. Tebbetts, a wealthy
implement manufacturer and vice president of the
Commonwealth Trust Company, sued Thomas A. Moore
of Chicago for divorce yesterday. She states in
her petition that they were married April 27,
1895 in St. Louis and that they separated October
17, 1907. Mrs. Moore asks that her maiden name,
Tebbetts, be restored to her. Moore was served
with the papers in the sheriff's office, where he
had been induced to go by the attorneys of Mrs.
Moore. Moore
was a life insurance agent at the time of his
marriage and is now head of the Moore Lumber
Company in Chicago. He has been secretary of the
Yellow Piner's Association and is a member of the
Mercantile Club of St. Louis. Mr. and Mrs. Moore
formerly lived at 3700 Lindell boulevard.
