"George Washington Moran, eldest son of Peter and Nancy Piercifield Moran, was born in Bartholomew county, Indiana, March 22, 1863, and passed away August 22, 1945, at the age of 82 years and five months.

He was united in marriage on December 20, 1885, to Mollie Black, who passed away September 14, 1944. To this union were born two sons, Lawrence L. Moran of Savannah and Everett E. Moran of Los Angeles, Calif. Both survive him. There are also four grandchildren and two great-grandchildren. Mr. Moran was one of a family of twelve children. Two brothers, Albert Moran of Villisca, Iowa, and Peter C. Moran of Savannah, still survive, along with several nieces and nephews.

At the age of sixteen, he drove a team and covered wagon from Indiana to Fillmore, requiring thirty-one days. He farmed northwest of Savannah most of his life, having retired about ten years ago. He led a conservative life, always being on guard that he did no man wrong. Uncle George, as he was commonly called, will be sadly missed in his home community. He was an exalted example of industry and fair dealing." Savannah Reporter and Andrew County Democrat (Savannah, Missouri), August 31, 1945
