My husband said I needed to post more about his family. The problem, I told him, is a lack of pictures. Here is the oldest picture I have from the Moon branch of the family. The man sitting and wearing the hat is my husband's great great grandfather, John C. Moon. Next to him is his wife Dialtha Caroline Shrader Moon. Behind them are their children Eda Jane, Lillie, Walter Pless, and Laura. To be honest, I'm not sure what order the ladies are in. I just know that Walter had three sisters. Walter is my husband's great grandfather. This picture was most likely taken somewhere in Sevier County, Tennessee in the 1920s.
John C. Moon was born December 31, 1854 and died November 26, 1941. Dialtha Moon was born October 7, 1853 and died March 31, 1933. The picture above is of their headstone that is located in Providence Church Cemetery in Sevierville, Tennessee. John and his wife were buried in the original Providence Cemetery that today is underneath Douglas Lake. They were reinterred during the construction period.
