Seven children, three sons and four daughters were born of this union.


Three years later, Mr. And Mrs. Moore moved to Wisconsin, making their first home on what is known as the R. P. Hayes farm. After living there for eleven years they moved to their present home where Mrs. Moore has lived up to the time of her death.
