Clear Lake Courier, July 13, 1867

DEATH OF AN OLD PIONEER 
William Henry Moore, long a resident of Lake county, died at his residence in 
Scotts Valley at 6 o�clock on last Monday morning, July the 8th, at the advanced 
age of 70 years. Mr. Moore was born in the State of Kentucky, and at an early 
period in his life moved to Missouri; from which State he emigrated to 
California, braving the great dangers of a settlement here at the early period 
of 1846. His first location was in Sonoma county where he remained permanently 
until he came to the Lake; which, if we mistake not was in the summer of �56. He 
was for many years previous to his death a strict and orderly member of the 
Baptist Church, and also an honored Mason; the members of which order were 
largely in attendance at the grave-yard about one and a half miles north of 
town.

(There is a possibility that his middle name was Harris or Harrison)
