Sherwood Moran
Sherwood's parents were William Joel Moran, 1843-1919 and Margaret S. "Maggie" Ford. He had sibling Margarita Ford Moran, born 1882. In the 1900 census, the family was living in Brooklyn NY and had a servant, Fanny Bush, living with them. Father William was a government employee and the children were going to school, Margarita, Sherwood and Ford, all in the 9th grade. In the 1900 federal census and the 1905 NY census, 2 sons were listed in the family - Sherwood and Ford, with the same date of birth. Twins? He married Ursul Mildred Reeves, 1890-1967, on June 30 1915, in Redlands CA. According to the newspaper announcement, Sherwood lived in both CA and NY. They had children Sherman Reeves Moran, Donald Ford Moran, and Barbara Moran. According to his WW1 draft registration card, he was married with 1 child and was a missionary for the American Board Missionary in Okayama Japan. He was medium height, slender, had light hair and gray eyes. Perhaps not surprising for a man who was a missionary in Japan for many years and had a masters in philosophy (see education and religion below), Sherwood volunteered for the Marines in WW2 and developed humane techniques for questioning Japanese POWs.

I'm a Founder of AncientFaces and support the community answering questions & helping members make connections to the past (thus my official title of Founder & Content and Community Support ). For me, it's been a labor of love for over 20 years. I truly believe with all of my heart that everyone should be remembered for generations to come. I am 2nd generation San Jose and have seen a lot of changes in the area while growing up. We used to be known as the "Valley of Heart's Delight" (because the Valley was covered with orchards and there were many canneries to process the food grown here, which shipped all over the US) - now we have adopted the nickname "Capital of Silicon Valley" and Apple, Ebay, Adobe, Netflix, Facebook, and many more tech companies are within a few miles of my current home in San Jose (including AncientFaces). From a small town of 25,000, we have grown to 1 million plus. And when you add in all of the communities surrounding us (for instance, Saratoga, where I attended high school, living a block from our previous Mayor), we are truly one of the big cities in the US. I am so very proud of my hometown. For more information see Kathy - Founder & Content and Community Director
My family began AncientFaces because we believe that unique photos and stories that show who people are/were should be shared with the world.
