William Madison Moore born Sparta, White Co. TN, 25 March 1835. Married about 1858 in Sparta, White Co.TN to Marian (Martha) Meeks, born 17 Nov. 1840 in Sparta to Charles Meeks and wife Nancy. I have copy of page in marriage book where license was issued, was not later filed for recording.1
Following service and capture and being in several prisons he was traded at the end of the war after promising service to the State of the Union, and returned to Sparta, White Co. TN.2 Another child, Charles Meeks Moore was born 4 Feb. 1866 in TN. Some hard feelings caused family upset and as a result W.M. and family left for the south-west arriving in Coryell County in the late 1860's. At first the family settled in the southern part of the county, land which was later taken over by Ft. Hood. Some time in the 70's they relocated to an area of the county known at that time as Waldo, Coryell Co.3 No trace of Waldo remains and after moving across the nearby McLennan Co. line, they settled on some of the best farm land in the country4. Children of William M. and Marian Moore are:

The little town was called Waldo and nothing is left to mark it's place. The house that existed up into the 90's has been captured in early and late photos that show the passage of time by the trees.

Later children were Fred William and Bruce Vivian Moore. Bruce died at the age of nine. Doctor Moore's first practice was on horseback, and he was named on call by the Santa Fe Railroad, which ran Through Clifton and as Clifton had no hospital, he took his patients to Temple by train.
