General Notes: Husband - William S. Moore

---

His boyhood was passed in attending to the usual farm duties, and in obtaining a common-school education, and he partially learned the carpenter's trade, but never followed it continuously.
For several years previous to his marriage he lived with his mother and sister on the farm which was always his home. In connection with his other work, he raised first-class stock, being very successful in both vocations. He was one of the promoters and founders of the beautiful Independence cemetery, which was a credit to the community, much taste having been exercised in its arrangement and construction, the grounds being arranged with exquisite care and neatness. Politically, Mr. Moore favored the Democratic party, but voted according to the dictates of his own judgment, believing that more attention should be given to the character and ability of the man than to his political views. His wife was a consistent member of the Presbyterian Church, with which denomination Mr. Moore was also united.
