Daniel Moore was a prominent businessman in Decatur. He owned a cooper factory where barrels were mass produced, but one at a time by indivivual coopers. Lots of neat newspaper stuff on his business and life. Sure wish I could find his nephew, Harry MOORE. He was born in PA but his daddy George Washington Moore, took him and sisters to DeWitt Co. when they were very young. Harry signed Daniel's death certificate in 1922 and said he was just a short distance away (within 2 miles, I believe) when his step mother sued in De Witt Co. and he was witness against her. But we can't find the man to recognize him on the 1920 census. Too many Harry Moores and none where we want at least one to be. No apparent marriages, nothing. Soooo. Another extra terrestrial. Not born, not hatched, beamed down. Shirley
