Nance, Thank you so much for the links. I will look at them right away. Do you have any idea whether the library in that area has a website maybe I'll find an obituary? Thanks for the welcome to the list.

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.
