Thank you for looking. I was told by some family members that they were married in Madison. This doesnt really surprise me. Wilbur Norris, my Great grandfather, is a hard person to do research on. I found him in 1900 madison with his father william Norris. In 1910 he is in Madison with Josephine Klaes. If you or anyone recognizes anything i would greatly appreciate it.

Hi - I know Ben and Bill. They are both doing very well and live in St. Louis, Mo.

Ben has three children and is happily married.

Bill has two children and has been married for almost 20 years.

I would love to have someone do a couple of researches for me.

I am looking for the death of Finley B. Moore died Apr 18, 1876. Am also looking to see what his wifes name was.

The other person is a Herman Finley Moore who died in Nov 30, 1952 who was shot by a shotgun, maybe took his own life???

I have hit the wall on these people and would appreciate any help you could give.

Thank You,
