S. Pool officiating. Jessie was born on November 20, 1882 in Morning Sun, died there on January 17, 1958, at age 75. Jessie was buried in Elmwood Cemetery.

He was buried in Elmwood Cemetery. The cause of his death was reported to be the flu epidemic; Lottie Bernice Moyers; and Frances Willard Moyers.
Pearl and Jessie were very active in the Methodist Church in Morning Sun. Their great granddaughter, Joy Conwell, remembers his house for the use of Ivory Soap, and also remembers when she was a child that Pearl kept an outhouse which he occasionally used when he was working outside, even though he and Jessie had indoor plumbing. Pearl lived in assorted places throughout his life. In about 1880 his parents, George and Rebecca Moyers, took the family to Peabody Kansas for four years. They returned not long after Pearl's grandfather, Sam Moyers, retired from the Benton Township farm he owned to Mediapolis, Iowa. In 1885 George Moyers and family were also living in Mediapolis next to Sam and Lucy Moyers. By 1895 the family had moved to Louisa County.
As an adult Pearl lived in Yellow Spring Township in Des Moines County (in 1900) after buying a ninety-five acre farm from Richard Orr, which he improved, before eventually returning to Louisa County to farm near Newport. In 1926 Pearl and Jessie moved into Morning Sun.
