Too many William Moore's in the Oregon Death Index on Ancestry to figure out which one he is. Have you talked to the Methodist Church in Junction City? Also, The archives of the UM Church are in Salem. It is manned by volunteers and I don't think the phone gets answered full time. United Methodist Archives, 680 State Street, Salem 97301, phone 503-540-0793. The UM District Office is 680 State St., Suite 200, Salem, 97301 phone 503-581-3969 if you don't get through to the archives. I traced the history of my great grandfather's UM career there, once he got to the Pacific NW. Wow--go here: http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=gr&GRid=70590571.

<div>Can anyone on this list help with this person? Here is what I have.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Martha Ann JANUARY (b. 13 May 1866 in Cottage Grove, Lane Co.,
Oregon)</div>
<div> m. William Thomas SIMMONS (b. 12 Mar 1853 Lane Co.,
Oregon)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>They had two children:</div>
<div> Samuel Bert SIMMONS (b. 1 Dec 1887; d. 5 Feb
1975)</div>
<div> Lola Ethel SIMMONS (b. May 1889; d. 8 May
1971)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>William Thomas SIMMONS d. 25 Mar 1927 at Junction City, Lane Co.,
Oregon</div>
<div> </div>
<div>On 13 Dec 1931, Martha Ann JANUARY SIMMONS </div>
<div> m. William Boyd Moore (in a couple of places,
Rev. William Boyd Moore)</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have found nothing else about Mr. Moore.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Coincidentally, Lola Ethel SIMMONS first married Olaf Olsen who died in an
automobile accident in 1918.</div>
<div>An article in the "Junction City Times" says that the funeral services were
held at Riverview Church "by Rev. Moore, pastor of the M. E. church here".</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Martha Ann Simmons Moore's death certificate, 20 Jul 1961, says she was a
widow. Therefore, Mr. Moore must have died before that date. Her obituary in the
"Junction City Times" identifies her as Mrs. Anna Simmons Moore, talks about her
growing up in Cottage Grove, marrying William Simmons, living in the Riverview
neighborhood since 1892. It mentions her two children, but other than the name,
Mrs. Moore, says nothing about William B. Moore.</div>
