Can anyone on this list help with this person? Here is what I have.
 
Martha Ann JANUARY (b. 13 May 1866 in Cottage Grove, Lane Co.,  Oregon)
    m. William Thomas SIMMONS (b. 12 Mar 1853 Lane Co.,  Oregon)
 
They had two children:
    Samuel Bert SIMMONS (b. 1 Dec 1887; d. 5 Feb  1975)
    Lola Ethel SIMMONS (b. May 1889; d. 8 May  1971)
 
William Thomas SIMMONS d. 25 Mar 1927 at Junction City, Lane Co.,  Oregon
 
On 13 Dec 1931, Martha Ann JANUARY SIMMONS 
    m. William Boyd Moore (in a couple of places,  Rev. William Boyd Moore)
 
I  have found nothing else about Mr. Moore.
 
Coincidentally, Lola Ethel SIMMONS first married Olaf Olsen who died in an  
automobile accident in 1918.
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".
 
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.
 
Help!
