Joe and Martha (Richards) Moore and their nine children came to Iowa from Indiana in 1876 following the Civil War, during which Joe had fought with the Union Army and his father Gilbert had died a prisoner in Andersonville Prison in Georgia.

Joe's son, Charles Gilbert, married Isabella Gawley near Botna in 1890.
Isabella's parents, Andrew and Mary (Gawley) Dales, had emigrated from Ireland during the Potato Famine of the 1840s.

Charley bought a farm in Section 14 of Jefferson Township, Shelby County, in 1919, from his brother-in-law, John Dales.
Charley and Isabella had four children: Wilfred, Nettie (Mrs. Walter Grau), Golda (Mrs. Ray Sanders), a long time teacher in the Manning schools; and Sylvia (Mrs. Gordon Lawrence).

Wilfred Dales Moore married Elsie Loretta Vandeman, daughter of Charlie and Nellie Mae (Holmes) Vandeman, in Botna and succeeded his father on the farm.
To this union were born two children: Charles "Gale" and Beatrice Joy (Mrs. Keith Doyle) of Westside.
