William Moore resides on section 2, where he settled in 1862. He bought his farm of Benjamin Ellis, but no improvements had been made when he settled there. Mr. Moore was born in Ohio, in 1832, but removed to Indiana with his father’s (Jonathan E. Moore) family when a child. William Moore came here from Indiana, in the spring of 1858. This was his first settlement. His farm contains 80 acres. His wife was Elizabeth Ellis, a daughter of Benjamin Ellis, who settled in Floyd county, from Indiana, in 1858. Mr. and Mrs. Moore have three children – Sarah Margaret, John R., and Susan A.
