LORE, Antoine. (MO, May 10, 1800 – December 17, 1856) Lore came to Dubuque in about 1833 and operated the area's second smelting furnace. He along with Woodbury MASSEY were selected by Patrick O'CONNOR to be a member of a jury to determine his guilt or innocence of murder charges in 1834.
Residents west of Dubuque originally considered naming a community Bahltown, in honor of George Bahl, who had been a primary force in its establishment. Because there already was a Balltown, a recommendation was made by Mr. Bahl to name it in honor of his friend Lore and therefore the community became Lore Mound.
