MO. She is listed as Mrs. Clara Smith of Carthage, MO in her father's obit in
January 1919, and as Clara Bell Smith, residence Mt. Vernon, MO, in March 1919

Oral & Harry Wood. I have not found her on the 1930 census at this time. Clara

William was Clara's brother-in-law as he was the widower of Jennie Eva Wood, who

| Unknown Son #2 Moore | Unknown Son #2 Moore was probably born between 1881 to 1885 in Lawrence Co., MO. His parents obits state that they had 11 children, that 3 of those children died in infancy, and that they had 5 sons and 6 daughters. I am guessing on his birthyear because based on birthyears of the other children it seems odd that they would have a 6 year gap without a birth between Clara & Lenna. This son is not listed on any census records. Unknown Son #2 Moore probably died between 1881 to 1890 in Lawrence Co., MO. |
 | Lenna Moore | Lenna T. Moore was born on October
07, 1886 in Lawrence Co., MO. She is listed with her parents on the 1900 census

of Mt. Vernon, Lawrence Co., MO, and Lenna is listed in the on her father's obit
in Jan 1919 and in the probate papers of her mother in March 1919 as Lenna Smith,
residence Mt. Vernon, MO. I have not been able to find the family on the 1920
census. Based on her parents probate papers and birthplaces of their children,
the family moved from Missouri to Oregon some time between 1919 to 1922, and they
are listed on the 1930 census of Hood River, Hood River Co., OR. Lenna Moore
Smith died on January 28, 1981 in Portland, Multnomah Co., Oregon. I do not

sent to Hood River, Hood River, Oregon. |
