Biography

William was born about 1893.

He married Lucille aka Lucy Freeman in Hamburg, Perry County, Alabama in 1909.[3] By 1910, she was living with her sister, Addie, and her family in Grassy Point, Washington County, Florida. She was transcribed as Lucy Moon, but on the original census it clearly says Moore. William was not with them. Nor was Lucy's marital status listed - neither single or married.^[1]

In Oct 1912, there was a notice in the Waycross Journal which announced a divorce proceeding for Lucy Moore vs W M Moore to take place on the first Monday in Dec 1912 court docket in Ware County, Georgia.^[2]

They were in the process of divorcing when Lucy was shot and killed by her brother-in-law, Robert Smythe, in 1913, in Waycross, Georgia.^[3][4]
