    3. Dear Listers, I have no idea just how many hours I have spent researching this very "elusive" family, spreading out to Little Rock, AR as well as to Somerset Co., ME. I have finally put together the following manuscript, with a hope tat someone with expertise on newspaper research can help me find in particular TWO DEATHS and/or OBITUARIES. Let me show you my manuscript: ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Carl Fredrik aka Charles F. Moore, born in Sogndal Co., Norway Aug. 15, 1865, emigrated with his parents in 1869 and died in Chicago, IL July 5, 1927. He was married at Mankato, MN Nov. 2, 1885 to Ida Irene Gavin Felton, born in Olmsted Co., MN April ?, 1869. She died after 1959, probably at Little Rock, AR. ##### (exact date and place of death for Ida Irene Gavin Felton Moore Pease?) Charles and Ida were divorced about 1893, and Ida remarried in Mankato, MN May 5, 1898 to William Warren Pease, born in Somerset Co., ME Aug. ?, 1857. He supposedly died in Jan. or Feb. of 1913 and was buried in Somerset Co., ME. ##### (exact date and place of death for William Warren Pease?) William Pease was a tailor and he and Ida resided in St. Paul, Ramsey Co., MN, but were also divorced about 1908. Charles Moore was remarried in Chicago, IL Jan. 1, 1905 to Gertrude P. Heiserman, born in Fayette Co., IA July 6, 1874. She died at Oakland, CA July 26, 1951. Charles Moore was a pharmacist and a commercial salesman and lived with Ida at Mankato, Blue Earth Co., MN and at Fergus Falls, Otter tail Co., MN. After their divorce Charles moved to St.Louis, MO, but after he married Gertrude in 1905, he settled down in Chicago, Cook Co., IL. As a widow Gertrude moved in the 1930's to Oakland, Alameda Co., CA. Officially Charles had two sons, both by his 1st wife Ida, but rumors say he only fathered the oldest one of them. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Any suggestions as to how the missing details about Ida and William can be found, would be more than appreciated! Thanks a million! Very sincerely yours, Lars E. Oyane
