1893 Farris Moore is born.
1920 ( Census reports the following)
There are two entries.
The 1st entry indicates: Farris Moore or Farris Moone is 27 years old and living with a Samie Moone age 24. The household members are Farris Moone Jr age 5 and a Mory Moone age 5. They are living in Columbus Ward 3 in Lowndes County Mississippi.
2nd record indicates: Farris Moore is 27 years old and married to a Fannie Moore age 24. They have two children: Mary Moore age 8 and Farris Jr. age 5.
I believe there is a mistake with the name somehow. The writing on the census many times was not legible, so I am thinking that the person making the document entry was unsure of the spelling.

According to the 1940 city directory Farris Moore, a colored man, is living at h 709 22nd s. The strange part is he is no longer listed as the owner of a grocery store, but he is working as a butcher at JD Davis Gro.

Farris is still married to Susie. He is no longer a proprietor. Instead he is working at Dowdle and Moss Grocery in Columbus, Mississippi.

There is no listing for them at all.
