JOHN CORYDON MOON
MANUFACTURER, DIES
Continued to Make Carriages
When Brother Began
Producing Automobiles
John Corydon Moon, president of the Landis Machine Co. and former carriage manufacturer, died early today of arterio-sclerosis at his home, 1 Westmoreland Place. Mr. Moon, who was 80 years old, had been ill since last August, when he suffered an attack while attending the Century of Progress Exposition in Chicago. Always in business for himself, Mr. Moon started as a photographer at Barry, Ill. He later bought and sold buggies there and operated a livery business. In 1882, with his brother, Joseph W. Moon, who later became an automobile manufacturer, he organized the Moon Bros. Carriage Co., for the wholesale manufacture of carriages.
Not in Auto Company
Mr. Moon, who never owned any stock in the Moon Motor Co., continued the carriage business after his brother went into automobile manufacturing. The carriage concern was dissolved about two years ago. At the time of his death, Mr. Moon was also president of the Mutual Wheel Co., of Moline, Ill, a concern formed by several carriage manufacturers. He was former president of the Moon-Hopkins Billing Machine Co., which was purchased by the Burroughs Adding Machine Co. in 1921, and moved to the Burroughs factory in Detroit. The Landis Co. makes shoe-repair machinery. Born in Brown County, Ohio, he was educated in Ohio public schools. He was married in 1880 to Miss Lelia M. Davis of Barry. She died in 1927. Surviving are his daughter, Mrs. Maude M. Lee, who resides at the Westmoreland address, and three sisters, Mrs. Alfred Moberly of St. Louis, Mrs. Thomas Coffman of Barry and Mrs. Martha Matthews of Buford, O. Funeral services will be held at the residence at 2 o’clock Thursday afternoon with interment in a family mausoleum in Bellefontaine Cemetery.
