Hi, I'm new to this list and have just begun my MOORE family tree research. I have recently been told that my grandfather, JAMES EDWARD MOORE was a police officer in Eau Claire until he died between 1920 and 1930 of pneumonia. He was married to a LUELLA MARIE DELINE they had one child together, WALTER C. MOORE. I was wondering if anyone out there would be so kind as to list the cemetaries in Eau Claire so that I can contact them to see if my grandfather is buried there. Also is there any way to find out about the Police Force in Eau Claire back then? I hope someone can help me. I do belong to the rootweb list for Cook County, IL and the people on that list are wonderful and I'm sure everyone on this list is wonderful too. Thanks, in advance, for any help. Ann in sunny Florida : )

You'll find we are pretty quiet bunch, but if we can help, we will! There are a few items that have been put online that might be of interest to you. First, is this history of the Eau Claire Police Department. Although I didn't see your James Edward Moore in the article, it might be an interesting story for you to read: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/wi/eauclaire/history/police.txt Also, there is a listing of cemeteries on our Cemetery page located at http://users.rootsweb.com/~wieaucla/ecemtary.htm Some of the cemeteries have records available through this page, but only a few. I encourage you to use the various search engines on our Resources page to see if anything has been put online for your family. That page is located at http://resources.rootsweb.com/USA/WI/EauClaire I'm sorry I don't live in the Eau Claire area to be able to help you with your research. I will look through my resources here at home and see if I can find anything that may be of help to you. -- Nance (listowner and county coordinator for the Eau Claire Co.
