William Samuel Moore

He left for South Australia in 1861[1] and, not finding work in his chosen profession, took a temporary position as headmaster of the Pulteney Street School, which was later made permanent.

From 1884 to 1900 he was rector of St Mary's, South Road, coupled with oversight of Christ Church, O'Halloran Hill, following the resignation of Rev.

[2] He was afflicted with partial paralysis on 11 June 1900 and died at his home in Millswood on 17 July 1901.

On 11 May 1902 a brass plaque was unveiled at the Pulteney Street School in recognition of his long service.

The inscription read: One of the four houses of Pulteney Grammar School is named "Moore-Sunter", in recognition of his long service as head master of the college, coupled with that of James Sunter.
