To them six children were born: namely, Mrs. Jeanette Rock of Valley, Nebraska, John W who passed away in his early youth, Robert of Seattle, Washington, Mrs. Prudence Forcade of Ceresco and Mary who died at the age of three years and Mrs. Ruby Tichnor of Omaha.
Mr. and Mrs. Moore were early settlers in the vicinity of Ceresco farming northwest of town in the Harrell and Bouc neighborhood until the summer of 1886, when they moved to a farm 8 miles south of Valley. In 1894, they moved to a farm near Little Sioux, Iowa and reside there six years, returning to the old farm south of Valley where they made their home until the death of Mr. Moore in 1904. Mrs. Moore then returned to Ceresco to reside and where she lived the rest of her life with the exception of a period of years spent with her daughter in Omaha.
