Anderson and Sarah Hiatt Moore left their young son, William Manford Moore with his grandparents, Henry and Nancy Pearce Hiatt, near New Petersburg, Ohio when they migrated west. A visit was made by the Hiatts to Iowa as is reported
in an excerpt from a letter written by Wm. Manford in 1918, as follows:
"I remember the trip very well and how father met us at St. Jo (Missouri) with a lumber wagon. We got home after dark and had to leave the horses and wagon on the east side of the Nodaway, and cross the creek on the old drift at the lime kiln ford. There was some lady that came with us from Ohio, and when we unhitched the horses over the creek, she left us and went away by herself up the Lime Kiln branch and I have never known who she was nor what became of her. As we approached the log cabin in the woods that was home at that time, "Old Fan" barked and mother came to the door and looked out. We could see her int he light of the candle, as she stood inthe door, but she could not see us in the darkness. I can yet hear Grandfather tell me, "Ther's your mother," and that is the first real image that I ever had of my mother. Of course I saw her often in Ohio, but not to remember it. We remained in Iowa about a month visiting with the family.... We returned to Ohio and Grandfather sild his farm there and began to get ready to move to Iowa. In the winter of 1859 or 60 father came to Ohio, on a visit I suppose, and Aunt Edna went home with him.... the year 1861 was a memorable year in the annals of our family, especially to me. The Civil War was in progress and the boys were going to the front and we were changing our habitation from Ohio to Iowa and at that time that was some undertaking.
Grandfather had sole his farm in Ohio and most of the summer was taken up in preparation for moving in the fall. Most of the household goods were disposed of except some bedding that could be brought in boxes with us. One cool chilly morning in November 1861, Elwood Meredith, on our neighbors, came with a Democrat Wagon drawn by our family horse, Ji, which he had bought, and we loaded in and started for Greenfield (Ohio). There were Grandfather Hiatt, Grandmother Hiatt, Aunt Mary, Aunt Becca, and myself making up the company. From Greenfield we went to Martinsville, where we visited a day or two then to Cincinnati, thence to Chicago, Burlington and Ottumwa, the
end of the Burlington Road. From there we went up to Eddyville where Father met us with wagons for the last part of the trip. He had two teams, a light wagon for the family and a heavy wagon for the trunks and boxes. Our trip from
Eddyville to Villisca required five days. (138 miles) It was in November and part of thetime was cloudy and chilly. The wind blew across the prairies as we had never seen before and in many places the prairie fires had burned the grass
for miles. Houses were very few, just an occasional settlement along some stream and then a wide scope of prairie to cross. The girls and grandmother became very homesick on the way and many bitter tears were shed as we got
farther and farther from what to them was civilization. I was too young to think much about it. To me it was very interesting and the only thing that marred by happiness was the far of running into a band of Indians, wolves or
buffaloes. On the last day of the trip we stopped at Corning and ate dinner at the only house in the town. We were getting pretty near our journey's end, but we did not get home until quite late in the evening. After we forded the
Nodaway and came out onto the ____, we saw a light in a window and heard the barking of a dog. Father told us that it was Uncle Bill's home and some boy came to the road and called out, "Did you get em?" Fther answered, "You bet we
did Thaniel" and drove on. Soon we came in sight of the light in our home and aroused the barking of our own dogs. The wagon stopped and we began to unload.
Soon the door opened and several heads were looking out into the darkness to see who was there. I remember the meeting of the sisters and parents and children that had not seen each other for so long.
