Gertrude (Peggy) Morris was born July 13, 1885 in Centralia where she grew up and attended school. While visiting a cousin who lived near Portland, Oregon, she met her husband, William M. Moore. They were married in Salem on June 9, 1901.
Bill and his brother John looked over the Panacanic country in 1901. John staked out a homestead in 1902 and their mother in 1903, but Bill and Peggy didn't move into Appleton until 1923.
They bought their present a place in 1928. Two years ago when they celebrated their 60th anniversary, their cattle and timber spread had grown to nearly 3500 acres.
Bill became one of Appleton's most enthusiastic booster. Peggy's unique garden was a natural museum of rocks, sea shells, antique iron, formal flower beds, blossoming shrubs and trees. The third member of the family partnership was their son David.
In addition to her husband and son, Mrs. Moore is survived by a sister, Mrs. Minnie Havernen of Centralia.
