Notes - William was reared in Burlington, Iowa, and in 1884, when a young man of nineteen years, he accompanied his parents on their removal to Oklahoma. His family settled on a farm on Wolf creek, near Menapah, where for twenty years they continued to make their home, the father passing away on that place. As a young man William was employed by J. S. Todd, who was one of the largest stockmen in Oklahoma, his ranch being situated in the Creek country, south of Muskogee. He remained with Mr. Todd for fourteen years, during which period he acquired a comprehensive knowledge of the business, and he then embarked in cattle raising on his own account, but at the end of three years formed a partnership with Mr. Todd.
William established the Horseshoe L ranch, which consisted of nearly thirty sections of land and extended from Coon creek, in Washington county, to the town of Delaware, in Nowata country, all of the buildings on his ranch being country, all which his wife received as her allotment from the government. There is also a lake on the ranch, which is known throughout the county as Moore's Lake and is a popular swimming resort of the youth of the vicinity during the summer months. He was one of the first directors of the Dewey, Oklahoma, bank.
