Both Cleon and Vida Moore were actively engages for most of the later part of their lives in genealogy work and the organization of family records. At Vida's passing, she had compiled many large genealogical binders on her and Cleon's families. These records are currently in the possession of her daughter, Alice Moore Jewett. As a personal note, one of the nicest days I have ever spent was in 1988 when I visited with Grandma and reviewed the records she had compiled. I took a small copy machine with me and was able to copy many of the stories and histories. I spent most of the day with her, and was able to hear her first account knowledge of many of the events found in her personal history. As you will glean from this family history, Grandma like to be independent and cook for herself. During my visit, she fixed lunch for the two of us. For those that don't know, I am not the biggest fan of vegetables. Grandma brought in lunch, and there on my plate was a large piece of banana squash. With lots of butter and salt, I made it through this piece, only to get given, without being asked, another large piece of squash. The histories contained herein has been compiled through computer scanning from the extensive work done by Gaylia Clayson Moore. Gaylia has spent considerable time and effort typing the hand-written histories kept by Vida Hill Moore. The editor was able to take this work, done by Gaylia, and have it scanned into a computer. The scanned information was then converted from a graphic format into a text format using computer software technology known as "optical character recognition" (OCR). This conversion process in not totally accurate and therefore these scanned histories were then edited to correct the errors created. At best as possible, the language, spelling, and grammar of the original writers was maintained. Without the work done by Gaylia, the compilation of these family histories would not have been accomplished. The editor of this work extended his deepest appreciation to Gaylia for the work she did and the hundreds of hours she spent to make these histories available to the family. DAVID W.
