Exploration of family background revealed that William Moore was born and raised in the territory of Quebec, Canada, migrating to the United States as a young man. After obtaining U.S. citizenship, he settled in northern Michigan where he built a log cabin for his family.
In his lifetime Bill saw the expansion of the West, the building of railroads, black and white televisions, as well as the exploration of space. As a railroad conductor, he was gone a lot. His absence left his wife and sons to provide for the family. He prayed daily for their protection, for life was tough. Without health care, babies died in infancy; afflictions of all sorts shortened life expectancy without discrimination. Yet, like Job, his life was filled with a reliance on God through the bad and good times.
