Author Bio
This is Gay Moore's third book with Arcadia Publishing. The first, Images of America: Canton, features her hometown of Canton, Ohio. While working on her second Arcadia book, Chattanooga's Forest Hills Cemetery, Moore became interested in the adjacent St. Elmo community. The images within come from a variety of sources, including the Chattanooga Library and the private collections of those interested in St. Elmo. Many images were submitted by individuals who currently live in or have family ties to this vibrant, historical community.
