    2. Shelley Cardiel via
    3. I've "rescued" an old photograph of Max MOORE which was taken at the C. Fritz Studio in Forest Grove, OR sometime in the 1890's. Max appears to be about 1 year old at the time it was taken. Based on limited research I was able to locate the following information regarding Max and his family: Max Vern Wilson MOORE was b. 28 Nov 1892 in Greenville, OR to parents Jesse Clemens MOORE (1830-1905) and Minerva Jane "Jennie" WILSON. Max was one of 3 children born to this couple including a brother Jesse Clemens MOORE II born in 1883 and a sister Mary V. MOORE born the same year he was (would have to be a twin or born early in 1892). His father was married previously and had 8 other children with his first wife including, Edward B.; Mary Ellen; William Lincoln; Lizzie J. ; Thomas C.; Anna M.; Hattie M.; Frederick Charles "Fred" MOORE all born between 1863 and 1878. Max married Irene Anna MORROW (b. 28 Mar 1892 in Lewis Co. WA - d. 15 Mar 1973 in Portland, OR) on 1 Jun 1916 in Multnomah Co., OR. It appears that they divorced sometime prior to 1941 when Irene remarried. The couple had two children, Cleo Madeline MOORE (1917-1988) and Jean Laverne MOORE (1918-1990). Max died 14 Oct 1956 in Sacramento, CA. Census records contain the following details: 1900 census of Dairy, OR: Jesse C.
